Nourish, Then Flourish
Nourish, Then Flourish
Your brain fog has become really embarrassing – you can’t even remember the basic names for things during conversations, even when you can see them in your head! They Just. Don’t. Come. Out.
You get really overwhelmed by things that once felt manageable, which then makes you anxious because you’ve realised that you’re not coping with everyday things anymore.
The weight around your middle just won’t shift, whatever you try – more exercise, juice cleanses, 7-day detoxes, everything ChatGPT suggested. Your body just doesn’t respond like it used to.
You’ve been waking in the early hours, sometimes covered in sweat, other times you just cannot go back to sleep.
Your cycle has become very unpredictable, very heavy, and very annoying – you’ve ruined your favourite pair of jeans twice in the last three months.
I support women in perimenopause to get their energy back, clear the brain fog, and get their body responding again, using herbal medicine, a personalised Metabolic Balance nutrition plan, and breathing techniques.
Please allow 30 minutes for this video call.
nourish (verb):
to provide nutrients to live, grow, and stay healthy and strong
You tried cutting out certain foods to work out the latest food intolerance you seem to have developed, but it hasn’t made a difference.
You tried a few practitioners and tried other approaches, and you’re tired of starting again.
Your doctor has mentioned high cholesterol, insulin resistance, and pre-diabetes as risks now, and you need to do something about it.
You want to feel clear-headed, light and alive again, but you know that it’s not going to be an overnight fix.
You know you need some thing that will actually help, and someone to help you make sense of it all.
Eighteen months after my son was born, I was diagnosed with severe hyperthyroidism, and early perimenopause arrived at the same time. My body felt unfamiliar. And it was frightening.
Herbs, personalised nutrition and lifestyle changes are how I rebuilt my health, and they’re what I’ve used with clients for over 10 years as a fully qualified herbalist and certified Metabolic Balance® coach.
I live in the Blue Mountains, NSW, and support women across Australia through personalised online care.

“I met Julia when I was feeling lost, struggling to shed my menopausal weight and becoming quite frustrated.
She introduced me to Metabolic Balance, a 12-week program that truly changed my life. She was with me every step, offering coaching, guidance, and support whenever I had questions or needed assistance.
I lost 10 kilos and couldn’t be happier.” ~ M.A., Metabolic Balance client
“I worked with Julia for 18 months – 2 years. We did a few protocols, a lot of thyroid and adrenal work, and I am now happy to say I have more energy, less tired and have also lost about 6.4 kg in weight which I was struggling with. Can’t recommend her enough.” ~ Becky S.
“She is extremely knowledgeable and has always been so kind, she goes well out of her way to help! She is a naturally caring person who I can imagine is still thinking of ways to help far beyond the time spent in consultation.” ~ Maria S.
“Such a lovely and caring lady and really listens to how you are feeling and what is best for you. Has helped me get better when I really thought it wasn’t possible.” ~ Tasha B.
Individual results vary.
From around 35, your hormones just start the rollercoaster of fluctuation. At this stage, you might not notice anything dramatic, maybe a couple of things you can take an over-the-counter remedy for to keep things under control.
By the time you’re 40, the fluctuations of oestrogen and progesterone are more up and down like a yo-yo, before the start of their overall decline during the 40s – 50s. A lower oestrogen level affects memory and concentration. Progesterone loss reduces your ability to cope with stress. Overall, life feels busier and harder.
The surges of fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone during perimenopause have an impact on how your body handles things such as stress, sleep, mood, metabolic health, digestion, energy, and even your microbiome.
Perimenopause can’t be diagnosed with a blood test, and it isn’t an illness.
It’s a life transition that needs nurturing through the dramatic effects of a changing hormone profile going on in your body.
With fully holistic support, you give your body, mind and soul the right resources to adapt to the new hormone levels.
flourish (verb):
to thrive, to grow, to be in one’s prime, to succeed, to triumph
