Hi I'm Debbie Milsom, an ATMS-accredited naturopath based in Belbora Mid Coast NSW. I am dedicated to supporting women over 40 through the transformative phases of perimenopause and menopause. With a holistic approach, I combine evidence-based practices with the wisdom of nature to guide you toward optimal health and vitality. My services encompass functional pathology testing to uncover underlying imbalances, personalized nutrition plans emphasizing food as medicine, and strategies to manage stress, improve sleep, and support thyroid health. Beyond the clinic, I manage a sustainable farm where I cultivate medicinal herbs and create small-batch teas, balms, and skincare products, reinforcing my belief in the profound link between soil health, the food we consume, and our overall well-being. Understanding the demands of modern and rural life, I offer telehealth consultations, allowing you to receive personalized naturopathic care from the comfort of your home where ever you are based. Conditions I commonly support include: * Perimenopause and menopause symptoms (hot flushes, mood swings, sleep disturbances) * Thyroid imbalances * Chronic stress and adrenal fatigue * Insomnia and sleep difficulties * Weight management and metabolic health * Digestive issues and gut health * Fatigue and low energy * Hormonal imbalances and PMS By addressing these interconnected aspects, I aim to restore balance and enhance your well-being.
