Nobody warned me that raising a daughter would involve answering questions like…

“Why is there stuff in my underwear?”

“Why does my chest hurt?”

“Is it normal to smell like this?”

“Why am I crying? I’m not even sad!”

And the classic…

“Mum, is THIS normal?!”

The answer? Most of the time, yes.

Puberty can be awkward, confusing, funny, emotional and beautiful. Sometimes all before breakfast or just as we are about the fall asleep!

But here’s the thing…

Our girls deserve more than a whispered conversation about periods when the time comes.

They deserve to understand their changing bodies, feel comfortable asking questions and grow up knowing that their bodies aren’t something to be embarrassed about.

And mums? We don’t always have all the answers either.

That’s why I created BECOMING ME.

A gentle, practical guide to growing up, changing bodies, first periods, hormones, emotions and all those questions our girls might be too shy to ask.

Because growing up shouldn’t feel scary for anyone of us.

03/11/2026

What if we changed the way our girls experience growing up?

What if puberty wasn’t something to feel embarrassed about, but something they felt prepared for?

What if we taught them to trust their bodies, understand their emotions, speak kindly to themselves and know their worth?

That’s the heart behind Becoming Me.

Helping our girls grow up feeling informed, supported and comfortable being exactly who they are.

THE CARCINOSINUM WOMAN

“I just don’t want to let anyone down.”

She’s the one who tries so hard.

To be a good mother.
A good partner.
A good friend.
Good at her work.

She notices everyone’s moods and feels responsible when someone is unhappy.

She struggles to say no.

She feels guilty when she rests.

And she replays conversations, wondering if she said or did the wrong thing.

Her mind is often busy at bedtime, even when her body is exhausted.

She may be a restless sleeper, or feel unrefreshed in the morning.

She loves music, dancing, nature and being near the sea.

She may crave chocolate.

And she often pushes through fatigue because there’s always something else that needs doing.

She’s not just tired from doing everything. She’s tired from feeling like she has to do everything perfectly.

In traditional homeopathy, this is the Carcinosinum picture.

The woman who gives so much of herself to everyone else.

You don’t have to earn your worth by being perfect.

Do you recognise yourself in this picture?

THE STAPHYSAGRIA WOMAN

The Women of Homeopathy | Perimenopause Edition

“I’m fine. It’s not worth the argument.”

She keeps the peace, swallowing her feelings, saying yes when she means no, and hiding hurt behind a polite smile.

But beneath the calm may be frustration, resentment and years of unspoken words. During perimenopause, irritability, tearfulness, restless sleep, tension headaches or digestive and bladder discomfort may make it harder to stay silent.

In traditional homeopathy, this is the Staphysagria woman: sensitive to criticism, injustice and disrespect, yet often reluctant to express anger or prioritise her own needs.

You are allowed to have a voice.
You are allowed to say no, feel your feelings and take up space.

Do you recognise a little of yourself in the Staphysagria woman?

These are traditional homeopathic remedy descriptions, not diagnoses. Emotional and physical changes during perimenopause deserve individual assessment and appropriate support.

The Sepia Woman

“I love my family. I love my life. But sometimes I need the whole house to go away so I can hear myself think.”

She can be surrounded by the people she loves most and still feel an aching need to be alone.

The noise.
The mess.
The constant questions.
The hands reaching for her.
The endless demands.

She gives and gives, but inside, something is whispering, I can’t do one more thing.

She used to have more patience. More warmth. More room for everyone else’s needs.

Now, even a small request can feel like one demand too many.

She craves quiet. Space. Time where nobody needs her.

And then the guilt arrives.

She loves her children deeply, but sometimes doesn’t want to be touched.

She loves her partner, but intimacy can feel like another obligation waiting to be fulfilled.

She isn’t heartless. She isn’t ungrateful.

She is depleted.

And beneath the exhaustion, she may be grieving the woman she used to be.

Perhaps what she misses most is herself.

In homeopathy we see this as the picture of the Sepia woman.

Often described as depleted, overstretched and emotionally withdrawn after years of giving.

We frequently explore this pattern during motherhood, postpartum and perimenopause.

But here’s what I want you to know.

You don’t need to earn your rest.

You don’t need to feel guilty for having needs of your own.

And you don’t need to keep pushing through.

Let’s look at what’s underneath the exhaustion and find ways to support you.

Because you deserve to feel like the best version of yourself as you transition through perimenopause.

Introducing…
The Women of Homeopathy.

Perimenopause Edition.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “When did I become this woman?”

The woman who suddenly has no patience.

The woman who feels everything so deeply.

The woman who is exhausted from holding it all together.

The woman who wants everyone to leave her alone… but also wants to feel loved and understood.

Perimenopause is so much more than hot flushes and changing periods.

Our sleep, moods, energy, confidence and ability to cope can all feel different.

And while we may share similar symptoms, we don’t all experience this transition in the same way.

That’s one of the things I love about the traditional homeopathic approach. It encourages us to see the woman behind the symptoms.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be introducing you to some of the women described in homeopathic materia medica.

Sepia. Calc Carb. Nat Mur. Pulsatilla. Lachesis. Carcinosinum. Staphysagria.

Each with her own emotional world, physical tendencies and way of responding to life’s demands.

These are traditional remedy portraits, not medical diagnoses or a way to choose a remedy based on personality.

My hope is that somewhere in these stories, you’ll recognise a little of yourself.

And perhaps feel a little less alone.

Because you deserve to feel heard, understood and supported through this season of life.

Tell me, has perimenopause made you feel like a different version of yourself?

A gentle, structured reset designed to help you reconnect with your body, your appetite, your energy and your daily rhythms.

For 10 days, we’ll focus on:

Nourishing whole foods
Protein-rich meals, healthy fats, vegetables, fruit and simple, satisfying food.

A break from the things that can keep us stuck
We’ll step away from alcohol, added sugar, gluten and caffeine and notice what changes.

Protein at every meal
We’ll aim for around 20–30g of protein per meal to support blood sugar, energy, hormones and satiety.

A simple morning rhythm
Breathwork, meditation, gentle movement, journaling and small practices to help you start your day intentionally.

Nervous system support
Because wellness isn’t only about what you eat. We’ll create space to slow down, regulate and notice what your body is asking for.

A pantry + food reset
Simple guidance around what to eat, what to swap and how to make nourishing food feel doable in real life.

Daily support & accountability
You’ll have daily WhatsApp check-ins, encouragement, education and prompts to keep you connected throughout the 10 days

5 HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES I’D KEEP IN THE CUPBOARD
AS A MUM OF A GIRL GOING THROUGH PUBERTY

Puberty is not a problem to fix.

But it can be a big transition:
physically, hormonally and emotionally.

These are 5 remedies I’d want close by:

1. PULSATILLA
For the teary, sensitive days.
She wants Mum close. She needs reassurance, cuddles and connection. Her moods can change quickly — crying one minute and perfectly happy the next.
Often useful when periods are beginning and are still irregular or changeable.

2. SEPIA
For the girl who suddenly wants everyone to leave her alone.
Irritable. Snappy. Overwhelmed. Everything feels annoying.
Think of Sepia when hormonal shifts come with irritability, period discomfort and wanting space from the people she usually loves.

3. MAGNESIUM PHOSPHORICUM
One of my favourites to have on hand for crampy period pain.
Especially when the pain is spasmodic or gripping and feels better with warmth, pressure or curling up.

4. NATRIUM MURIATICUM
For the girl who feels deeply but doesn’t necessarily want to talk about it.
She may become more private, easily hurt or sensitive to rejection — but hates being fussed over or consoled.

5. IGNATIA
For the BIG feelings.
Friendship fallouts. First heartbreaks. Disappointment. Grief. Emotional shocks.
She may sigh, cry, feel a lump in her throat or swing between wanting to talk and wanting to shut everyone out.

Puberty asks a lot of a young girl.

Her body is changing.
Her brain is changing.
Her hormones are finding their rhythm.
Her friendships are changing.
And somewhere amongst all of that, she is figuring out who she is.

Sprint has sprung….

And it’s time for YOU!

You don’t need another diet.

You might just need a RESET.

10 days to step away from the things that leave you feeling tired, inflamed, foggy and constantly reaching for something to get you through the day.

The 10-Day Reset Challenge is about getting back to basics:

🥗 Simple, nourishing whole foods
☕ Less caffeine
🍬 No added sugar
🌾 Gluten-free
🍷 No alcohol
🧘‍♀️ Daily nervous-system support
🚶‍♀️ Gentle movement
🌿 Simple wellness practices
💛 Daily WhatsApp guidance and support

This is NOT about eating less.

It’s about nourishing more.

More protein.
More plants.
More minerals.
More stable blood sugar.
More rest.
More awareness of what your body actually needs.

And for 10 days, we quieten some of the “noise” so you can begin to notice what makes you feel good and what doesn’t.

10 days. A simple reset. A chance to feel like yourself again.

R700 for the full 10-Day Reset Challenge.
