Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Naturopath | Services and care
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal and metabolic condition that affects far more than your cycle, it can impact your skin, weight, mood, energy, digestion, and fertility. At Naturalist, I take a whole-body approach to PCOS, creating personalised treatment plans that use herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle support, and optional testing to help restore your hormonal balance and reconnect you with your cycle.
What is PCOS and how is it affecting me?
PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is a common endocrine and metabolic condition where monthly ovulation is disrupted, and androgen hormones may be elevated—sometimes accompanied by ovarian cysts. But PCOS is much more than a reproductive issue; it often affects metabolism, mood, skin, digestion, and energy.
Four key things to understand:
Ovulation may not happen regularly
Irregular or absent ovulation can lead to unpredictable cycles and fertility challenges.
Hormones can be out of balance
Elevated androgens can manifest as acne, excess hair growth, and irregular bleeding.
It’s linked to blood sugar and metabolic health
Many women with PCOS experience insulin resistance, weight fluctuations, or sugar cravings.
It impacts more than your cycle
PCOS often intersects with mood disturbances, skin challenges, and digestive symptoms, yet it’s frequently overlooked.

Why Trust a Naturopath for PCOS?
Working with a naturopath means your care is tailored, comprehensive, and centred around you. PCOS isn’t just a hormonal condition - it’s often influenced by blood sugar imbalances, stress, gut health, inflammation, and lifestyle. You’ll be heard, your symptoms will be taken seriously, and together we’ll focus on restoring balance from the inside out.
PCOS isn't just a hormone issue - it's metabolic, inflammatory, emotional, and gut-related too. A naturopath looks at all these interconnected systems to support healing from multiple angles.
From inositol and magnesium to herbal formulas and evidence-informed nutrition, naturopaths combine natural therapies with functional testing to support ovulation, regulate cycles, clear skin, and improve long-term wellbeing.
No two PCOS cases are the same. A naturopath tailors your treatment to your unique symptoms, goals, cycle, and lifestyle - rather than applying a generic protocol.

My approach to PCOS
Every woman’s experience with PCOS is different. I take the time to understand your unique symptoms, cycle patterns, lifestyle, and health history, and create a personalised plan to support your body holistically.
Here's what we may explore together:
Hormonal and androgen imbalance
Supporting balanced estrogen, progesterone, and androgen levels to support clearer skin, regular cycles, and improved ovulation.
Blood sugar and metabolic support
Stabilising insulin and glucose levels through diet, herbs, and supplements to support weight balance and hormonal harmony.
Inflammation and liver detox
Reducing oxidative stress and supporting your detox pathways- especially liver function—to help clear hormones and toxins more effectively.
Gut health and microbiome balance
Repairing digestion in cases of bloating, IBS, or gut imbalance to improve nutrient absorption and hormone metabolism.
Stress and nervous system support
Incorporating calming rituals, adaptogens, and lifestyle shifts to lower stress, improve mood, and support hormonal regulation.
