International Women’s Day – 8 March Celebrating the Strength, Wisdom and Possibility of Women   International Women’s Day is a moment to pause and celebrate the extraordinary contribution of women across the world.

Endometriosis Awareness Month reminds us that women’s pain shouldn’t ever be dismissed. Many girls grow up believing severe period pain is normal. For 1 in 10 women living with endometriosis, it isn’t.   March marks Endometriosis Awareness Month, highlighting a condition that affects millions of women worldwide. Despite this, diagnosis still takes an average of 7–8 years in the UK, leaving many women navigating pain, fatigue, digestive disruption and fertility challenges with

People are awakening this Monday morning to new ideas of what long term shock and trauma does to a person, how unseen consequences need addressing. I had a very busy unpresented weekend of teaching about the consequences of the mind lived. Knowing the word ‘trauma’ is but a small step to understanding the ‘results of’ from emotional outcomes and mental health reality living. The depth and breadth of coping strategies the mind thinks up and the automation of coping from anatom

To stand alongside so many passionate advocates reinforces why Menoproofing through the decades matters. Menopause does not begin at midlife it’s influenced by our teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s. Education, awareness, and early action change outcomes. Thank you to everyone working tirelessly to raise standards, break taboos and ensure women are better supported, in healthcare, workplaces, families and communities. This is not just awareness, it’s a futureproofing women’s lives !

Have you ever thought we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so when finally able to meet the right person we know how to be grateful for the gift. It is true we don’t realise the gifts we receive until we lose them. That includes people that support and hold our hands on our spiritual and life journey. The lesson of love is long and there are many levels to learn, seven in fact. And individuals can be learning all seven levels, achieved in dif

I’m truly honoured to be shortlisted for the Celebrating Women Pioneers Menopause Awards  (6 February). For over 25 years, women’s health has been my life’s work supporting women from menstrual health and fertility challenges through to maternity, menopause, and beyond.

Finding and checking out the uniqueness involved for each person, their history, lifestyle, family history to find reasons ‘why’. Thr

Debate continues regarding the harm to young minds and brain formation from media and phone use. All predicted and restriction suggested, which was ignored and today our children feel the brunt of the ignorance of those who made the decisions over a decade ago.   Our children pay the price as phone scrolling, brainwashing becomes addictive. Resulting in brain overload from demand. Person naturally feels overwhelmed emotionally. Psychologically skewed living takes place with n

Despite many calls for better birth experiences we start 2026 with headlines that Australian practices around birth are failing women. Unfortunately a global problem and not exclusive to Australia. I have reported, written and spoken about birth trauma for over a decade. Women and their infants suffer daily, professionals declare not enough is known, not recognised and no data exists to quantify the percentage of women affected, with a suspected 70% of women being affected. A

Pregnancy Loss week 9-15 th October While reflecting pregnancy success may be fraught with complications, every women’s pregnancy and fertility journey is different. Couples may both have biochemical issues not on their radar, a surprise to require help and guidance. Pregnancy loss may happens once. For others, it repeats.  Recurrent pregnancy loss  (two or more consecutive miscarriages) affects up to  5% of women  and can lead to further heartbreak and questions with few an

World Mental Health Day reminds us that emotional well-being is not just a personal issue it ripples out into home, family and workplace with far-reaching consequences often unrecognised.
