My Journey
My path to becoming a hormone and wellness coach began with my own struggles and a desire to finally feel heard and healed. As a mom of two who struggled with hormonal balance for over 25 years, I’m passionate about helping others overcome the same battles I faced.
​
My journey with hormonal issues began with my very first period. I dealt with severe acne that seemed unstoppable, and in the late 90s, the anti-baby pill was recommended to me. While it cleared my skin, it brought new struggles—depression, breast tenderness, and eventually an eating disorder that made everything worse. Yet, every time I sought help, I was told these symptoms were just part of being a woman, something to simply “deal with.”
After my first pregnancy in Singapore, my symptoms intensified, especially the PMS and depression. The turning point came when I found a doctor who looked deeply into my hormones and discovered I had almost no progesterone. I was prescribed a progesterone cream along with antidepressants, which finally helped me start to enjoy my daughter, who was 9 months old at the time. But it wasn’t easy feeling that way after birth; not being able to enjoy time with your new-born is incredibly painful and often accompanied by feelings of shame. I want women to know there is no shame in feeling this way, and it’s so important to seek help and have your hormones checked if you’re struggling.
​
Back in Zurich, finding a doctor who took my symptoms seriously was another battle. Many dismissed progesterone cream, saying it wasn’t proven to work. But after my second baby, things spiralled again. I had low energy, lingering depression (even with antidepressants), sleep issues, and fatigue. A naturopath ultimately confirmed that my progesterone was still low, and my cortisol levels were depleted. Through stress management, nutrition, medication (progesterone and cortisone) and sleep training, I gradually regained my energy and peace.
​
At some point, though, I realized I couldn’t continue like this. Medication helped ease some symptoms, but I knew I had to make lifestyle changes to truly get better. I began researching hormones and nutrition, discovering that stress was the greatest enemy of hormonal balance—not an easy task with two young kids. I learned I couldn’t keep up my old workout routine without burning out. Slowly, I found a way to balance my hormones and finally feel like myself again.
​
Today, I know exactly what my body needs. I understand my cycle, know which foods support my hormones, and have a toolkit to manage stress before it becomes overwhelming. My mission is to help women feel empowered and in control of their health and hormones. To show them that they don’t have to “just deal with it.” There is a way forward, and I’m here to guide them.
