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.
Effectively manage your endometriosis: Two ways to work with me
Through personalised naturopathic support, we’ll work to calm inflammation, balance hormones, and ease symptoms such as painful periods, bloating, fatigue, and pelvic discomfort. Using nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle strategies backed by evidence, you’ll gain the tools to reduce pain, restore energy, and feel more in control of your health.
Targeted concerns, short-term guidance, or those who want support around a specific issue.
Standard naturopathic consultations are designed to provide individualised advice, education, and recommendations based on your symptoms, history, and goals.
This option may include:
-
One-off or occasional consultations (Although I recommend working with me at least once a month for 3-4 months to see progress and get the most out of your health plan).
-
Nutrition, lifestyle, herbal, and supplement guidance.
-
Review of existing blood work or test results.
-
Practical strategies you can implement independently.
This approach works well if:
-
Your symptoms are mild to moderate.
-
You’re looking for direction rather than ongoing support.
-
You prefer to manage implementation on your own between sessions.
Standard support offers flexibility and professional guidance, but progress depends largely on how consistently recommendations are applied and followed up.

Best for: Women with endometriosis or complex hormonal symptoms who want clarity, structure, and ongoing guidance rather than trial-and-error.
The Thrive programs are comprehensive, multi-phase support pathways designed to address the root drivers of symptoms using functional testing, personalised treatment plans, and consistent 1:1 care.
Rather than isolated appointments, Thrive provides an integrated framework where testing, interpretation, treatment, and support are connected and adjusted as your body responds.
Inside Thrive, you receive:
-
Advanced functional testing and interpretation
-
A personalised, phased treatment plan
-
Ongoing 1:1 practitioner support
-
Access to the Thrive hub, resources, and protocols
-
Structured guidance so you know what to focus on at each stage
The program begins with an initial 1–2 month stabilisation and clarity phase, where we identify what’s driving your symptoms and support the systems under the most strain. From there, you can choose to continue into the full program for deeper treatment and long-term support.
This approach is ideal if:
-
You’ve tried many things and still feel stuck
-
Your symptoms are complex, cyclical, or worsening
-
You want to stop guessing and be guided step-by-step
-
You value ongoing support, accountability, and adjustment
Thrive is designed to take the pressure off you to figure everything out alone. It’s structured, personalised care that adapts to your body not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
-
Hormonal and inflammatory systems take time to shift, so meaningful results typically require at least 3–4 months of consistent work. Your commitment to the nutrition, supplement and lifestyle recommendations is essential for real improvement.
Monthly follow-up consultations are recommended to keep you on track and adjust your plan as your symptoms change.
Retesting is also encouraged to measure progress and ensure long-term, sustainable results. Retesting is usually done after 4 months, from here we will either continue working together or you will be ready for self-directed management .

Recommended Functional Test: EndoMAP
The EndoMAP is NutriPATH’s most comprehensive at-home dried urine test, offering a full assessment of hormonal, metabolic and environmental factors that influence hormone health. It provides detailed insights into four major hormone pathways: oestrogen, androgens, progesterone and glucocorticoids - giving a complete picture of hormone production, metabolism and clearance. The panel also includes organic acids, endocrine disruptors and heavy metals, helping identify deeper drivers of hormonal imbalance.
Best suited for women with endometriosis, painful or heavy periods, chronic pelvic pain, PMS/PMDD, fertility concerns, bloating, inflammation, mood swings or complex hormonal symptoms. Ideal when deeper insight is needed beyond standard hormone blood tests.
-
Type: Advanced dried urine hormone, metabolite, and environmental toxin assessment
-
Collection Method: At-home urine collection
-
Turnaround Time: Usually 7-10 days
-
Results will be sent to the practitioner who will analysis the results. You will be provided with a functional test report and health strategy based off your results.
-

-
The EndoMAP guides your targeted treatment plan by showing how estrogen, progesterone, androgens and cortisol are functioning at a metabolic level. It also reveals endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and key organic acid markers influencing inflammation and hormone balance.
Your protocol is customised to support detox pathways, reduce flares, stabilise cycles and address the specific biochemical drivers of your symptoms.
How it works:
-
Book your Discovery Call and complete the intake form provided.
-
During the call, we will discuss your symptoms and determine if the EndoMAP is best suited for you.

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.
What Is endometriosis? Understanding the full-body impact
