periods and hormonal
The menstrual cycle is the body's 5th vital sign. It is the report card at the end of every
month showing a reflection of our physical and emotional health that month, dysregulation here can show that a woman is out of balance in her life.
This can show up as:
- PCOS
- Endometriosis
- Hypo/hyperthyroid
- Painful periods, painful ovulation
- Perimenopause
- Mid-cycle spotting
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Absent periods
- PMS/ PMDD
Promote the free movement of Qi and Blood
Remove any blockages that maybe in the way of this free movement
Tonify any area of the body/ womb that needs nourished
Work on the liver focusing on care for our emotional health and managing responses to
stress
With chinese herbal medicine the goal is to:
health
Are you ready to focus on removing blockages, retaining balance & say goodbye to hormonal issues?

“The psyches and souls of women also have their own cycles and seasons of doing and solitude, running and staying, being involved and being removed, questing and resting,
creating and incubating, being of the world and returning to the soul-place”
- Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women who run with the wolves
With working with Chinese medicine, the goal is to regulate the Qi and Blood, clear out blockages so that the menstrual cycle looks more like this :
Optimal menstrual cycle
28 day cycle
Fresh red blood that is flowing smooth, no heavy bleeding
No clots or tissue
Minimal pain
Minimal PMS symptoms, bloating, pains etc just before the period starts
It comes on quickly like turning a tap, no spotting
get me to my optimal cycle
We are so far away from this society with many people thinking that pain with your period is something normal. It is what most excites me to bring a woman into a relationship with her feminine cycle, and her blood, to help create the conditions to have a beautiful cycle.
How to work with me
ONLINE CLINIC: 1:1 Virtual consultations via Zoom
Chinese medicine sees each person as an individual so treatments are very personalised which is in direct contrast to Western Medicine giving one pill for each condition. It treats the mind-body-soul.
Your body has everything it needs to heal, herbal medicine helps to unblock certain pathways and bring balance for healing. You are seen as an active participant in your healing journey, together a plan is made to bring you and your life back into balance.
A questionnaire is completed online before your first consultation to look at your diagnosis through a Chinese medicine perspective.
A picture of your tongue is sent over before the first appointment, I will provide you with a video to show you how to take the best tongue pictures. This is used to see what is going on in your body and to diagnose through a Chinese medicine lens.
BBT charts, bloods results and any other tests that have been carried out via the NHS or privately are sent over before your appointment for review.
Your bloods are analysed through a Chinese and western medicine perspective.
A detailed history is taken of your health journey so far including diet, lifestyle and exercise.
The main issues that you would like help with and your treatment goals for the future are discussed.
From this consultation, looking at your tongue and blood analysis I will formulate a Chinese herbal medicine prescription that is specific for you and your individual case.
The prescription is posted off to the lab where it is made up and then posted directly to your home.
A written report detailing how to take the herbal medicine prescription will be
provided.
Additional supplements, diet and lifestyle advice will be recommended to aid the herbal medicine formula and your individual needs.
Email support will be given every 2-3 weeks to see how you are progressing in your treatment plan. We will continuously take new photos of your tongue to see the progression in your symptoms.
The herbal formula will be amended each time in response to how your body responds to treatment.
