Hey, I’m Tris
I work with women (many who are mums) to resolve and manage hormonal symptoms like PMS and period problems (pain, heavy flow, cyclical mood swings, skin breakouts and unpredictable cycles), including women with PCOS, Endometriosis, fertility challenges and amenorrhea.
I’m incredibly passionate about educating and empowering women to support their health. I want to teach you to be the expert of your body, and confidently make informed choices for your (and your family’s) health and nutrition. So not only do you show up as your best self, but you and you family thrives.
Many of the women I work with feel like they have ‘tried it all’ - the diets, gut cleanses, and hormone balancing supplements. They are eating healthy, busting their butt in the gym or going to pilates every week. But every month they find themselves irritable, moody, bloated, their skin breaking out, and not feeling like they are showing up as the best version of themselves.
Cycle after cycle they find themselves dreading their period because it’s either unpredictable or leaves them popping painkillers for days and makes planning work, life, social events, and holidays a nightmare.
Many of these women have had blood tests only to be told “everything is normal”, except they feel anything but. Or they have been told “you’ve got PCOS/Endo, here’s the pill and come back when you want to have babies”.
The women I work with might be just like you. Feeling like your body is failing you. Like everything you’re doing is working against your body. Not to mention you’re juggling your career, raising kids, relationships, and everything else life throws at you.
I see how overwhelmed women feel with all the conflicting information about nutrition and health, yet struggle to find solutions to their health concerns. I’ve experienced the same frustrations you might feel being dismissed with your hormone symptoms, and only offered conventional bandaid approaches like birth control.
Navigating a PCOS diagnosis in my early 20s and being given no option but the pill and being told “you won’t be able to fall pregnant naturally” was the beginning of my health transformation and journey into finding nutrition and natural healing solutions.
After struggling with irregular cycles, acne, fatigue, bloating, and weight fluctuations, feeling like my body was broken and trying all the diets, supplements and wellness trends, I hit a point of being done with temporary bandaid solutions. I knew there had to be a better way, and I wanted to understand my body and how I could support my health better.
Using nutrition and natural health, I resolved my PCOS symptoms naturally, supported mine (and my husband’s) fertility, and was blessed to have 2 natural and healthy pregnancies and babies. Since becoming a mumma, I’m even more conscious of what we consume and use to support my family’s health.
In 2015 I decided to study a Bachelor of Health Science Nutritional Medicine (now called Clinical Nutrition) so I could help women live healthier, happier lives just like I had experienced.
Since then I have continued to upskill and research in women’s health, hormones and fertility. I’m trained to analyse blood and functional testing including the DUTCH (Dried Urine Testing for Comprehensive Hormones), Vaginal Microbiome and Complete Microbiome Mapping tests, which I utilise with my clients when needed. I’ve mentored with coaches and Naturopaths, doing the deeper inner work to integrate menstrual cycle awareness and cyclical wisdom into my own life and into my practice to support women.
I understand feeling dismissed, frustrated and overwhelmed with your health because I was there too.
But living like this truly isn’t a normal part of “just being female”.
I empower women with a unique approach to natural hormone health & nutrition
I’ve created an approach that not only helps women get lasting relief from hormonal symptoms, but also helps them be the expert of their body and feel their best every day of their cycle.
A holistic approach that I personally live by, combining food and plants as medicine (ancient wisdoms), plus aligning our cycles (our innate wisdom) with nutrition and lifestyle.
No quick fixes, no bandaid approaches or unrealistic protocols, just long-term proven solutions to help you balance your hormones naturally and thrive in your 30s and beyond. Because feeling anything less than optimal is not “normal”.
My food approach is simple and achievable, with flavour in mind (forget bland boring food, it’s got to taste and look good in my opinion!). Focusing on the most nutrient dense foods Mother Nature has to offer, and going back to traditional homemade meals that nourish the body and soul.
Whether you’re at the beginning of exploring options to resolve your health concerns, tried a number of things but not getting results, or diving deeper into nutrition and natural health, I’ve guided over 100+ women to improve their hormone health through nutrition and natural health.
Let’s get you feeling your best self again.
