Lost in the fog of hormonal change?

There was a time I barely recognised myself.


As I moved into perimenopause, my body began to change in ways I couldn’t control - sudden weight gain, deep fatigue, waves of anxiety and depression that came out of nowhere. I started drinking more, relying on caffeine, alcohol and sugar, not for pleasure, but to numb the growing discomfort in my skin… and in my soul!!

I felt disconnected from the woman I once was.  And even more distant from the one I was meant to become. Then I found Ayurveda.

Not as a quick fix, but as a path of reconnecting, rediscovering and remembering who I am.


I started to learn about my dosha - the unique blueprint of my mind and body. I began to understand why I felt so “off,” and how what I had accepted as my “new normal” was an imbalance calling out for care.

Through gentle shifts - daily habits, nourishing food, movement, breath - I felt myself start to return. 
The anxiety eased.
I slowly came off medication. 
I stopped needing alcohol and caffeine to feel okay. 
I learned to listen to what my body truly needs. 
And maybe most powerfully… I began to set boundaries that honoured my energy and my worth.

And no, this isn’t about perfection, weight loss or restriction.


I still enjoy wine and coffee!!
But now it’s with presence, not as a crutch.


I no longer overdo it to mask discomfort. I’ve learned what my body can handle and what helps me feel my best, without guilt, without shame.

This journey isn’t about getting my “old self” back.
It’s about stepping fully into the woman I was always meant to be - wiser, softer, grounded, alive.
