Women’s Health and Hormones
The monthly hormonal cycle is central to the health and wellbeing of women. The menstrual cycle requires a monthly adaptation to the body and as such may not only involve the specific sex hormones but also cortisol, insulin and thyroid hormones. The role of the liver, the adrenals, the colon and the thyroid are paramount in regulation. Inflammation and circulatory issues may also play a significant part. I assess the potential effect of all these factors in the presentation of your symptoms.
Let’s have an exploratory discussion if you have any of the following:
Period-related problems: premenstrual Syndrome (PMS); PMDD; amenorrhea (lack of periods); very heavy or very frequent periods.
Peri-menopause or menopause experiencing hot flushes, sweats, fatigue, aches, insomnia, brain fog or anxiety.
Chronic urogenital infections, cystitis, thrush and pelvic pain problems, interstitial cystitis.
Other hormonal issues such as acne, migraines, hair loss, fatigue, thyroid, fibromyalgia.
Osteopenia / osteoporosis.
Low mood, lack of energy, brain fog, sleep dysfunction, nervous system imbalance.
Chronic excess weight, thyroid, pre-diabetes and diabetes type 2.
FERTILITY focus: reclaiming the natural pathways, as the body intended.

Female system pathologies: Endometriosis, cysts, fibroids, polycystic ovaries and PCOS
Endometriosis, ‘chocolate’ cysts
Endometriosis is a complex inflammatory condition of excess endometrial tissue build-up. In severe cases endometriosis tissue develops outside the uterus, on ovaries, around or within pelvic and digestive organs, creating inflammation and adhesions; over time these adhesions produce a secondary cause of pain.
Signs of pain during ovulation (normally about two weeks after the start of the period) and very painful or heavy periods can be the first signs; symptoms can be tolerable at the outset, but they can progress with terrain degradation often when the patient faces an emotional or physical stress. Many patients also face energy deficits that contribute to the problem and dysregulated activation of the nervous system, hypersensitivity and congestion of the entire pelvic and abdominal areas.
Endometriosis is on the rise but still many women struggle to find help. For many endometriosis patients one of the main issues is management of pain, which in many cases does not seem to be lowered by painkillers or contraceptive pills. Pain can also be experienced after endometriosis surgery with post-surgery inflammation, and this needs special awareness. For women of reproductive age, fertility is a major consideration; incremental regulation and reduction of inflammation can help improve your natural chances.
My approach includes herbal formulations and nutritional support that aim to improve balance of hormones, reduction of toxicity, release of pelvic inflammatory congestion, regulation of nervous system overactivity and anti-inflammatory nutrition guidance. This can be used alongside other approaches or as a maintainance approach depending on each case.
Polycystic ovaries, pcos, fibroids
In polycystic ovarian syndrome relative excess of androgens can disrupt the ovarian function, presenting problems for the maturing of follicles and ova, in combination with hyperglycemia and insulin dysregulation; in the case of fibroids (leiomyomas) androgens contribute to growths of myometrial origin (the muscle of the uterus). These conditions can often show with heavy bleeds, pain, or acne.
My approach is holistic, with hormonal-balancing herbal formulations, liver support, release of pelvic congestion and nutritional advice around insulin and inflammation. It is important to start management as early as possible for best results.
Case report
My client had endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and was seen post-surgery; experiencing extreme and constant pain, severe sleep deprivation and debilitating headaches; she was confined to home. Following herbal treatment and nutritional support for four months, her constant pain and hormonal headaches resolved, she is able to sleep and has been able to resume a normal life.
Client Testimonial,Endometriosis and PCOS
On first appointment with Angelique, which was January 2023, I was experiencing excruciating pains for many many months, which consisted of paralysing episodes, and feeling constant ripping and stabbing sensations. I went in unable to go to school, as I just couldn't bare the pain, and we were grasping at too many possible causes. Following Angelique's herbal treatment, and nutritional advice, she has helped me so much, and now I'm pain free since April 2023.
In our sessions, when pinpointing which areas of my body were properly impacted, she always went into great detail about why this was happening, giving a much clearer insight to how our bodies and hormones actually work. Her practise and knowledge is extremely extensive, and her methods are very effective as they target multiple parts of the body, as she understands that any illness never only causes one issue.
I am extremely grateful for her kindness, and her diligence with me when I struggled. She is a very kind and understanding practitioner who appreciates any perspective, and will tailor her practise to best suit her patients. Testimonial by H.C.
‘My bladder is definitely feeling better and I have not had any burning in my bladder, or UTI symptoms since starting the herbs! ‘
Client feedback by M.L.
Case report
My client had frequent periods (every three weeks) with very heavy flow; it was exhausting and unsustainable. Within approximately two months of herbal treatment periods became regular and lighter. Treatment then moved on to maintaining the client’s digestive function (used to be constipated and eating limited range of foods) and calming anxiety. Results were better nutritional habits and a calmer mind.
