You've been told everything looks "normal"...

But you still don't feel like yourself.


Perhaps your periods have changed.

You're exhausted no matter how much you sleep.

Your skin suddenly isn't behaving the way it used to.

You've been told you have PMOS (formerly PCOS), you're navigating perimenopause, or you simply know something isn't quite right even if your blood tests have come back "normal."

If you're tired of joining the dots on your own, you're in the right place.

I help women make sense of complex hormone symptoms through evidence-based herbal medicine and deeply personalised care.

Because your body isn't working against you.

It's communicating with you.

And together, we'll take the time to understand what it's trying to say.

Discover my approach -


You know your body.....

Red boots filled with flowers

You know when something feels different

Maybe you've been told it's stress.

Or ageing.

Or that your results are "within normal range."

Yet you still don't have the energy you used to.

Your periods have changed.

Your digestion feels unpredictable.

Your sleep doesn't refresh you

Or perhaps you've been quietly wondering if this is simply something you have to accept.

I don't believe you should have to settle for uncertainty.

One of the things I hear most often from women when they first arrive is,

"I finally feel like someone is listening."

That matters.

Because before we talk about herbs...

Before we talk about treatment...

We begin with your story.

A different approach to hormone health

Hormones don't exist in isolation.

Neither do the women living with them.

That's why I don't focus on one symptom or one diagnosis.

Instead, we look at the bigger picture.

Together we'll explore how different systems in your body may be influencing one another, including:

Hormones and menstrual health

PMOS (formerly PCOS)

Perimenopause and menopause

Thyroid health

Digestive health and the gut microbiome

Stress and nervous system regulation

Sleep, energy and resilience

Nutrition and metabolic health

Because understanding why something is happening is often the first step towards meaningful change.

What's it like to work with me? 🌿

🌿 No two women walk into my clinic with exactly the same story.

So no two treatment plans are ever the same.

Every consultation is designed to help you:

🌿 Feel heard—not rushed.

🌿 Understand what's happening in your body.

🌿 Receive an individualised plan based on your health history, symptoms and goals.

🌿 Feel confident about the next steps in your hormone journey.

This isn't about chasing quick fixes or the latest wellness trend.

It's about thoughtful, evidence-based care that's tailored to you.

Hello, I’m Marie

Hi, I'm Marie.

I'm a Registered Medical Herbalist with a special interest in women's hormone health.

Over the years, I've supported women experiencing everything from PMOS and painful periods to perimenopause, fatigue and complex hormone symptoms that often don't fit neatly into one diagnosis.

One thing I've learnt is this:

No blood test, scan or diagnosis can ever tell me as much as the woman sitting in front of me.

That's why I take the time to listen first.

Because when we understand the whole story, we can make far better decisions about how to support your health.

What my patients experience

Finding balance again: herbal support for Irregular periods in Women over 35

November 14, 20252 min read


Finding Balance Again: Herbal Support for Irregular Periods in Women Over 35


As women move through their mid-thirties and beyond, it’s common to notice changes in the menstrual cycle. Periods may become shorter, longer, heavier, or even skip a month altogether. While these shifts can be unsettling, they’re often your body’s way of signalling that it needs a little extra support.


The good news? Nature offers gentle, effective ways to help your body find its rhythm again.


Why Irregular Periods Happen After 35


From your mid-thirties onwards, hormone levels begin to fluctuate more noticeably. Oestrogen and progesterone, the two key hormones that regulate your cycle, can rise and fall unpredictably. This can be influenced by:

Stress and adrenal fatigue

Nutrient deficiencies (especially iron, magnesium, and B vitamins)

Thyroid imbalances

Perimenopause (the natural transition before menopause)


These changes can leave you feeling tired, moody, or out of sync with your body.


How Herbal Medicine Can Help


Herbal medicine works beautifully to bring the body back into balance by supporting the underlying systems that influence your hormones. Some of my favourite herbs for women over 35 include:


Vitex (Chaste Tree Berry): Helps regulate the menstrual cycle and balance progesterone levels.

Ashwagandha: A powerful adaptogen that supports the adrenals and reduces stress-related hormone disruption.

Dong Quai: Known as the “female ginseng,” it nourishes the blood and supports regular cycles.

Nettle Leaf: Rich in minerals, it helps replenish the body and support energy levels.


When used correctly, these herbs can help your body find its natural rhythm again, easing symptoms like irregular bleeding, PMS, and fatigue.


Lifestyle Shifts That Make a Difference


Alongside herbal support, small daily changes can have a big impact:

Prioritise rest and stress reduction (your hormones love calm).

Eat whole, nutrient-rich foods that stabilise blood sugar.

Move your body gently with yoga, walking, or stretching.

Track your cycle to notice patterns and progress.


Ready to Understand What Your Body Needs?


If you’ve been struggling with irregular periods and want to get to the root cause, my Natural Health Audit is the perfect place to start.


This personalised session helps you uncover what’s really going on with your hormones, energy, and overall wellbeing. You’ll receive tailored recommendations, including herbal and lifestyle guidance, to help you feel balanced and in control again.


✨ Book your Natural Health Audit here: https://www.naturalhealthsupport.co.uk/home--naturalhealthaudit


Your body is wise, and with the right support, it can find its natural rhythm again.
