      <image:title>About Natalie - Hi, I’m Natalie!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I'm the creator &amp; founder of Womankind Naturopathy. I'm a Naturopath, Clinical Nutritionist and Mumma of two.

However, it wasn't until I became a mum that I started to feel a real push to support women &amp; children going through different health challenges. In my spare time, you'll find me diving into research into women's health, fertility, IVF support, preconception, pregnancy, lactation &amp; postnatal nutrition.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We now know that the diet and lifestyle of the mother and father during the six months or 180 days before conception can impact their child’s lifelong health. It does this by directly altering the genetic material (egg &amp; sperm), which combines during birth to make an embryo.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Gut Health - Gut Health</image:title>
      <image:caption>More and more research is coming to light on how our Gut (large intestine) plays an integral part in our overall health and well-being. When it’s not working optimally, it can create a whole host of issues in the body. Common gut symptoms are; reflux, bloating, cramping, food intolerances, constipation, diarrhoea and (IBS) irritable bowel disease, but what we don’t always realise is when our gut bacteria is out of balance, this can contribute to other symptoms such as; acne, eczema, depression, anxiety, asthma, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, weight gain and lower immune system (frequent infections). Unfortunately, in today’s society, we are overexposed to certain foods, medications and lots of stress, which can directly influence the ‘Good’ bacteria in the Gut. If your Gut isn’t in the healthiest state, I highly recommend addressing your symptoms before they get worse by seeing a naturopath, who can offer relief whilst finding and treating the cause of your symptoms. We understand that achieving optimal health begins in the Gut, where the healing needs to start.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Post Birth - Postpartum (After Birth) Health</image:title>
      <image:caption>Birth is a marathon and can take months to even years to recover from, so making sure you’re well nourished and that you’re replenishing your nutrient levels afterwards will be an ideal way to prevent postnatal depletion, hair loss, low energy, low mood, anxiety, iron deficiency/ anaemia or any other nutrient deficiency. Guidance on a diet, nutraceuticals and herbal medicine can all be supportive and nourishing to optimise the mother’s health &amp; well-being, which we now know directly influences the baby’s health &amp; well-being.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Pregnancy - Pregnancy Health</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pregnancy can be a really exciting time, coupled with feelings of extreme nausea, tiredness and feelings of emotional instability (at times), to name a few. Seeing a naturopath/nutritionist can help you navigate and advise you on such things as; discussion on healthy pregnancy weight, ways to reduce &amp; manage morning sickness, food safety (salmonella &amp; listeria), specific testing and advice on the nutrients needed during the first, second and third trimester. This is a time that requires huge energy demands on your body and it's essential to make sure you and your baby are replete with nutrients for growth, and development (for the baby) and also prepare your body for labour and birth. We now know if particular nutrients are depleted going into pregnancy, that this can cause negative outcomes for the mother and baby, such as; reduced growth, effects on neurodevelopment, sleep issues in both mum &amp; baby, poor birth outcomes, weight gain in the mother, poor glucose control, increased risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, fatigue, anxiety and postnatal depression/ postnatal depletion in the mother.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Breastfeeding - Breastfeeding Health</image:title>
      <image:caption>Breastfeeding can be a magical bonding experience for mother and baby. But, for many mums, it is initially challenging, painful and tiring; as mother and baby adjust to each other’s needs, the experience can enrich. Certain nutrients are required for the baby’s development that go directly through the breast milk. If the mother is depleted in these nutrients, she can experience fatigue, anxiety, depression, hair loss, reduced cognition and memory recall. Many factors can affect why a mother has problems feeding her baby. A naturopath can help support lactation by recommending certain galactagogue herbs that increase breast milk (if there's a supply issue) and assess your diet, ensuring you're a proper balance of nutrient-dense foods to nourish you during this time. Another problem that can interfere with feeding is mastitis, which can occur several times over a woman's breastfeeding journey. Mastitis is extremely painful and can be treated and prevented quite easily through naturopathic care.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Infant &amp; Children's Health - Infant &amp; Children’s Health</image:title>
      <image:caption>As your baby grows and develops, its demand for nutrients will change, so introducing solids and nutrient-dense foods at certain crucial stages, is ideal for a child’s developing gut microbiota. Fussy eaters and children with low appetites are becoming a lot more common. There are many factors that contribute to this, so speaking with a Nutritionist or Naturopath can be beneficial in identifying the cause, assessing their nutrient levels (particularly zinc), helping with meal suggestions and making dinner less stressful for the whole family.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hormone Health - Hormone Health</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our hormones are chemical messengers that are responsible for so many functions in our body. There can be many reasons why we might experience hormonal imbalances which include; genetics, toxin exposures, stress levels, lifestyle, diet and nutrient levels. If you're experiencing a hormonal imbalance, there are many symptoms you might experience depending on what particular hormonal imbalance you’re experiencing. At womankind naturopathy, we are experienced at investigating hormonal imbalances, interpreting pathology results as well as salivary hormone testing and a thorough case-taking history. We then design a treatment plan based on your blood/ salivary hormone results and your individual symptoms.</image:caption>
