Vaginal disorders (particularly those that are recurrent) tend to be poorly managed with conventional treatments, leaving you stuck in a frustrating cycle of remission and recurrence.

Because of the multifactorial nature of vaginal disorders, they are well suited to a holistic approach.

Conditions include:

• Thrush

• Bacterial vaginosis

• Aerobic vaginitis

• Recurrent UTIs

• HPV

• Cytolytic vaginosis

• Sexually transmitted infections

I work with you to:

• Identify the root cause: Whether it’s bacterial vaginosis (BV), thrush, aerobic vaginitis, or recurrent UTIs, together we’ll uncover what’s driving the imbalance.

• Restore microbial balance: A healthy vaginal microbiome is key to preventing infections. I help you support beneficial bacteria, address overgrowths, and strengthen your natural defences.

• Reduce recurrence naturally: I provide long-term strategies to keep symptoms from returning based on your root cause.

• Improve comfort and confidence: Whether you’re dealing with dryness, pain, or discomfort, I help you find solutions that prioritise both symptom relief and long-term wellbeing.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition that affects hormones, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. Because PCOS presents differently in each person, a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. Instead, I focus on:

• Identifying your unique drivers: PCOS has multiple underlying causes, from insulin resistance to inflammation to adrenal dysfunction. Understanding your specific triggers is key to effective treatment.

• Restoring hormonal balance: Whether your cycle is irregular, absent, or unpredictable, I work with you to support ovulation and improve menstrual health.

• Managing symptoms naturally: Acne, weight changes, hair loss, and fatigue can all be part of PCOS. I help you navigate these concerns with evidence-based, practical solutions.

• Supporting fertility (if that’s your goal): If you’re trying to conceive, I can help optimize ovulation, egg quality, and overall reproductive health.

• A sustainable, whole-body approach: PCOS is more than just a reproductive condition; it’s connected to metabolic and gut health. I take a holistic approach to ensure long-term results.

Hormonal and reproductive health issues like PMS, PMDD, hypothalamic amenorrhoea, endometriosis, or painful and heavy periods can take a significant toll on your well-being, leaving you feeling frustrated and uncertain about where to turn for help.

I offer a personalised, root-cause approach to help you get to the bottom of these issues and provide you with the tools and guidance to manage them long-term. My goal is to empower you with a clear understanding of what's happening in your body and how to restore harmony, so you feel your best.

I work with you to:

• Uncover the underlying drivers: Whether it's thyroid concerns, poor detoxification, or the impact of stress, we’ll identify what’s driving your symptoms and create a practical, actionable plan to address it.

• Create a tailored treatment plan: Your unique needs and health goals come first. Together, we’ll integrate evidence-based therapies, including herbal medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments, to support your specific concerns.

• Support long-term health and well-being: Rather than quick fixes, I focus on sustainable improvements that help you achieve lasting results and avoid future issues - ultimately saving you time and money.

• Offer ongoing support: I’m with you every step of the way, adjusting your plan as needed and providing continuous support to ensure you stay on track toward long-term health.

Gut symptoms affect so much more than your digestion – they influence your energy, mood, skin, hormones, and overall wellbeing. My goal is to help you create a reality where your gut feels calm, comfortable, and resilient.

Common conditions I work with in clinic include IBS, IBD and SIBO.

I work with you to:

• Find what’s driving your gut symptoms

• Design a personalised gut health plan

• Build long-term resilience

• Help you adapt to challenges along the way

The goal is more than symptom relief - it’s freedom. Freedom to enjoy your favourite meals, feel light and energised, and trust your gut again.

Nutrition is foundational to wellbeing, so it’s essential to get it right. As part of your care with Ovela Health, you will receive a nutritional assessment and personalised dietary recommendations to help you feel your best.
