Newcastle's Leading Women's Health Naturopaths

Support for your cycle, your hormones and every stage in between.

happy, healthy hormones

Hormonal health shapes far more than just your period.

Your hormones can affect your energy, mood, skin, sleep, fertility and how you feel in your own body day to day. When something is off, being told your bloods are “in the normal range” isn’t an answer.

We investigate further.

Whether you’re dealing with painful or unpredictable cycles, working towards a pregnancy, managing conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, or navigating perimenopause, we investigate the factors that may be driving these conditions.

Cycle and Reproductive Health

Your menstrual cycle is a monthly report card on your health. When it’s irregular, painful, heavy, absent or accompanied by symptoms you’ve been told to “just put up with”, that’s information worth investigating rather than managing indefinitely.

Perimenopause, Menopause and Beyond

Perimenopause and the decades that follow can make up a third or more of a woman’s life. Yet for many women, this stage arrives with little preparation and plenty of unanswered questions. Symptoms are often dismissed as something you simply need to tolerate, leaving many women feeling frustrated, exhausted, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves.
 
Having supported thousands of women over more than 20 years in clinical practice, Jasmin understands that every woman’s experience is different. As she navigates this stage of life herself, she also appreciates the reality of balancing changing hormones with the demands of work, family, relationships, and everyday life. This combination of professional expertise and personal experience allows her to provide care that is both evidence-informed and deeply relatable.
 
Jasmin works with women experiencing symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, anxiety, mood changes, fatigue, brain fog, vaginal dryness, skin changes, and shifts in weight or body composition. Her goal is not only to help relieve symptoms, but to help you understand what’s happening in your body and why, so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
 
Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, Jasmin takes a whole-person approach to hormone health. She explores the many interconnected factors that can influence wellbeing, including nutrition, gut health, nutrient status, blood sugar balance, stress, sleep, bone health, cardiovascular health, and lifestyle factors. By identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of imbalance, she creates personalised treatment plans designed to support both symptom relief and long-term health.
 
When it comes to hormone therapy, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Decisions about hormone therapy are best made in partnership with your GP or specialist, and Jasmin is always happy to work collaboratively with your wider healthcare team. Her role is to help you navigate the bigger picture and provide evidence-informed nutritional, lifestyle, herbal, and supplemental support alongside your medical care where appropriate.
 

Female Longevity & Ageing Well

The years after 40 can be some of the most rewarding of your life, but they also play an important role in shaping your future health. Jasmin believes healthy ageing is about more than simply adding years to your life. It’s about supporting your healthspan, helping you maintain energy, vitality, strength, cognitive function, and independence for as long as possible.
 
Whether you’re preparing for perimenopause, moving through menopause, or simply wanting to feel your best in the decades ahead, Jasmin can help you gain clarity around your health, understand your options, and focus on the foundations that support healthy ageing and long-term wellbeing. Her aim is to empower you with the knowledge, confidence, and personalised support needed to feel well through every stage of life.

Hormone testing that looks further

Functional Hormone Testing

Standard blood testing is useful for confirming whether you’re ovulating or approaching menopause, provided you test on the right day of your cycle.

It’s less useful for detecting subtler imbalances, and it tells us nothing about how your body is metabolising your hormones.

Excess oestrogen drives many hormone-dependent conditions, but your levels can look normal while you’re clearing oestrogen down a more problematic pathway. Those pathways depend on your liver function, your antioxidant status, your gut health and your genetics.

Assesses your sex hormones, their metabolites and your cortisol pattern through dried urine samples, giving a picture of both your levels and how you're processing them.

Measures hormones across your cycle at home via a daily urine test, showing ovulation and luteal phase function over time rather than at a single point.

We’ll only recommend testing when relevant, and we explain the cost and the reasoning first.

Our Functional Medicine Approach

We have extensive experience with women’s health and have helped thousands of women with hormonal imbalances, or those navigating times of hormonal change. We have a strong passion for following the latest research in this area, being women ourselves and understanding the massive impact that hormones can have on both physical and mental well-being.

Although there are patterns, no woman’s experience and symptoms are the same. Your functional medicine naturopaths work with you to discover the underlying causes and fine-tune your wellness plan, so that you can feel like your best self.

We practice holistically, so we are always aware that you can never treat an organ or condition without consideration for the entire body and mind. This is especially true for hormonal imbalances, as hormones have more than one target tissue and can therefore have a multitude of different actions throughout the body.

What causes hormonal imbalances?

Hormonal imbalances are usually the result of a complex interplay of factors.

Conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, PCOS, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) can have a genetic component.
Poor diet can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients that are crucial for hormone production and balance.
The liver plays a key role in hormone metabolism. Impaired detoxification can lead to hormone imbalances.
Excess and deficient body fat can disrupt hormone levels and contribute to imbalances.

Insulin resistance and blood sugar fluctuations can affect hormone levels, particularly in conditions like PCOS/PMOS.

The thyroid is intimately involved in hormonal balance, with both excesses and deficiencies having impacts on your hormones.

Chronic stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which can disrupt the balance of other hormones.

You don't have to navigate confusing symptoms on your own!

Our team takes a whole-person approach to women’s health, helping you make sense of what’s happening in your body and uncovering the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.

Jasmin is a wonderful wholistic practitioner. She listens and problem solves with the client. Her treatments are evidence based and really empowering- including education on lifestyle factors, dietary modifications (including what to ADD not just what to cut out) and high quality supplements. I managed to avoid medications with horrible side effects because of our work together and have never felt better.

Wellness Vision really is the whole package. It is obvious how passionate Jasmin is about health and wellness. She is a wealth of knowledge, very thorough and compassionate. For me, what makes her stand out is her personal touch and how she worked with me. Jasmin really listened and took a great deal of care with her approach to my health and overall wellness. She explained the 'why' and 'how' which I always felt supported and completely trusted her practice. I would highly recommend Jasmin!
