Clinical Nutritionist | Medical Herbalist | Menopause, Perimenopause & Hormone Specialist

Hi, I'm Rene.

For more than two decades I've helped women understand their hormones, reclaim their energy, and feel like themselves again — through perimenopause, menopause, and everything in between.

I didn't come to this work from a textbook alone. I came to it through lived experience — navigating endometriosis, fertility challenges, and IVF, and now moving through menopause myself. I know what it feels like to be out of balance, to be dismissed, and to feel like a stranger in your own body.

That experience is what drives everything I do. Not sympathy — understanding.

After more than 20 years in clinical practice, I've worked with hundreds of women at every stage of the hormonal journey. What I've seen, again and again, is that when women are given the right information and the right support, they don't just cope with this transition — they come through it stronger, clearer, and more themselves than ever.

My approach is integrative. That means I look at the whole picture — your symptoms, your history, your lifestyle, your stress, your sleep — and build a plan that is genuinely tailored to you. I work with clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, and holistic menopause care, and I'm also experienced in guiding women through conversations about HRT so they feel informed and confident in whatever path they choose.

There are no quick fixes here. Just evidence-informed, deeply personalised care — and a commitment to staying with you through the whole journey.
