Supporting your vagina and vulva
Because I understand the impacts on your self esteem and enjoyment of life.
This is an under researched area of women's health and you might feel that it's hard to find good help or support for your vaginal or vulval condition.
I have met too many women, both young and not-so young, who are unable to find effective treatment for recurring vaginal infections.
It breaks my heart to witness your loss of confidence as a woman, and in sexual relationships.
Have you been told that you need medication for years? Or for the rest of your life?
Let me help you:
-
regain your health and confidence by using herbal remedies and food as medicine.
-
understand your vagina and it's close relationship to your menstrual cycle.
Your vagina contains its own unique microbiome, which is a balance of bacteria, viruses and fungi.
This balance of microbes in the vagina is important for your vaginal health and fertility.
Many of the common vaginal conditions can be improved by working to balance the vaginal microbiome.
A healthy microbiome can protect against:
-
Urinary tract infections
-
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
-
Aerobic Vaginosis (AV)
-
Candida (thrush)
-
Genital herpes
-
HPV and other sexually transmitted infections
-
STI's
The vaginal microbiome can also influence fertility and healthy pregnancy. If you have unexplained recurrent miscarriages, taking a look at the health of your vaginal microbiome can sometimes be beneficial.

Hi Simone
I just wanted to share the news that I'm pregnant!! I'll be 14 weeks this week!
Thank you so much for being a huge part of my journey to falling pregnant! And the best part about pregnancy - my vagina hasn't been itchy at all.
Urinary Tract Infections UTI
Chronic urinary tract infections is a concern I hear from many women. Often this goes hand in hand with rounds of antibiotics, triggering ongoing thrush (Candida infections).
The reason conventional treatments for UTI so often fail, is that they don't address the underlying cause of the problem, the bacteria may be embedded or protected by biofilm.
Antibiotics destroy beneficial bacteria in the vagina, leading to reduced defences against Candida and other bacteria.
Herbal medicine is an excellent alternative to antibiotics if you are experiencing a urinary tract infection. Herbal remedies can break the cycle of vaginal discharge problems following UTI's because the herbs don't interfere with your vaginal microbiome. Unbalanced vaginal microbiome and fluctuating levels of estrogen throughout your cycle can put you at risk of more frequent or recurring UTI's. I recommend a therapeutic dose of soothing and anti-bacterial herbs, to tone the bladder and fight infections without disrupting the microbiome. Work with me to uncover the root cause of your chronic UTI's. I will support you with practical lifestyle and dietary changes, as well as probiotics to combat recurring urinary tract infections.

Hi Simone,
"I just wanted to say a massive thank you in general over the past couple of years! You’ve managed to eradicate all of my UTI issues and in the process have helped me discover and address my gut problems.
I feel the best I’ve felt in years thanks to the herbs, supplements and diet changes you’ve suggested.
You’ve given me more answers than any other health professional ever has, so a big thank you!"
Thanks,
Laura
Post menopause
vagina and vulval health
After menopause your ovaries are no longer producing estrogen and as a result you might experience vaginal dryness, loss of lubrication and thinning of the vaginal lining causing discomfort, and pain with sex.
Vaginal atrophy can be influenced by oral and topical herbal remedies, diet changes, probiotics, moisturisers and lubricants. I have tips and tricks to support the pH of your vagina and your overall postmenopausal sexual health.
If you are post menopause you might have also found that you can be more prone to urinary tract infections and vulval irritation.
Two painful vulval conditions after menopause are dermatitis and lichen sclerosis. These conditions must be diagnosed by a doctor before consulting your naturopath.
If you're frustrated by low libido and painful vaginal conditions - don't suffer anymore - get in touch today.
