What is endometriosis and how is it affecting me?
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing pain, inflammation, and hormonal disruption. It’s not just a reproductive issue — it can affect digestion, skin, mood, and energy too.
As a naturopath experienced in endometriosis, I help you understand how it’s showing up in your body and create a plan to support healing, naturally.
Here are four key things to know:
Tissue grows where it shouldn’t
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows in places it’s not meant to - often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, and surrounding organs, leading to chronic inflammation.
It reacts to your cycle
This tissue responds to hormonal changes, bleeding and shedding each month. But with no way to exit the body, it leads to pain, inflammation, bloating, and sometimes fertility challenges.
It can affect the whole body
Endometriosis is more than a reproductive condition. It can impact digestion, immune health, hormones, skin, and the nervous system - often showing up in ways that seem unrelated.
It’s under-diagnosed and often misunderstood
Around 1 in 10 women are thought to have endometriosis, but diagnosis can take years. Even without a formal diagnosis, your symptoms are real and deserve care.

A natural approach for endometriosis
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to endometriosis. As a naturopath with a special interest in endometriosis, I work with you to uncover the underlying imbalances contributing to your symptoms and create a personalised, evidence-informed plan to support your healing. This may include addressing:

Estrogen dominance & hormone imbalances
An imbalance between estrogen and progesterone can drive the growth of endometrial tissue and worsen symptoms like heavy bleeding, cramping, acne, and mood fluctuations.
Inflammation & immune dysregulation
Ongoing inflammation and a dysregulated immune response can heighten pain, trigger flare-ups, and contribute to the spread of endometrial tissue in the body.
Liver overload & poor detoxification
If your liver isn't efficiently clearing excess hormones and toxins, estrogen can recirculate in the body - fuelling hormonal imbalance and endometriosis symptoms.
Gut health issues & microbiome imbalances
A disrupted gut microbiome can impair estrogen clearance, increase systemic inflammation, and worsen bloating, constipation, and digestive discomfort often seen with endo.
Nervous system dysregulation & chronic stress
High stress levels can disrupt hormone production, increase pain sensitivity, and prevent your body from accessing its natural healing state — keeping you in survival mode instead of repair.
Client case study: Endometriosis and whole-body healing
Endometriosis | Pain | Hormonal Acne | Fatigue
Female, 29 years old
Presenting concerns: Endometriosis (surgically confirmed), chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, hormonal acne, fatigue, and digestive bloating.
Initial consult summary
Heavy, painful periods with clotting
“Endo belly” and bloating, especially around ovulation and menstruation
Cyclical hormonal acne on her chin and jaw
Low energy and brain fog, especially mid-luteal phase
A feeling of being “stuck in survival mode”
Her diet was relatively balanced, but she consumed a moderate amount of dairy, gluten, and alcohol. She also had a high-stress job with poor work-life boundaries and minimal nervous system regulation.
What we focused on
We focused on herbal support to regulate hormones and ease inflammation, alongside nutrition and supplements to balance blood sugar, support liver detox, and calm the nervous system. Simple daily practices were also introduced to reduce stress and reconnect with the menstrual cycle.
After 1 month
Pain and bloating had started to ease, skin was clearing, and energy felt more stable.
After 2 months
Cycles were becoming more regular, period pain had reduced further, and acne flare-ups were less frequent.
After 3 months
Periods were manageable without medication, energy and mood were more consistent, and there was a stronger sense of connection and trust in the body.

Hidden signs and symptoms of endometriosis you might be missing
When most people think of endometriosis, they imagine severe period pain. While painful periods are a hallmark symptom, the reality is far more complex and many people with endometriosis experience symptoms that aren’t always linked to their menstrual cycle.
How gut health affects endometriosis and what you can do about it
When we think about endometriosis, we often focus on hormones, pain, and the reproductive system but the gut plays a surprisingly powerful role in this condition.
