My Story

Hi, I'm Caitlin. I live in Glasgow, Scotland with my fiancé and my golden retriever Blue. I am a super multi-passionate person but some of my main interests (other than hormone health & slow living) include fashion, spending time in nature, learning about spirituality (I'm a Taurus & a 3/5 Generator in Human Design) and anything vintage!

This is my story...

I started my period pretty late (going on 17) and like many teenagers, it arrived with a bang: extremely heavy bleeding, cramps that left me doubled over and crazy mood swings. Not to mention that there was absolutely no rhyme or reason to when my periods would show up!

After a couple of years of persevering, I eventually caved in and went to my GP to have the implant inserted. For 7 years, I was period-free and I thought I'd found the perfect solution.

Until I had the implant removed at 25 and was amazed at how much better I felt. For the first time in ages, I felt clear-headed, excited and like myself again. I hadn't even realised that all those years of the implant had watered down my emotions & personality.

That said, I was encouraged to start taking the combined pill (to "fix" some PCOS-like symptoms I was dealing with). Within 3 months of starting my new prescription, I was in the lowest place with my mental health I had ever been. I was barely coping with day to day life, crying almost constantly and suffering daily panic attacks.

I couldn't believe how dramatically things had taken a turn and I was desperate for answers. Yet, there were none given. Despite multiple visits to GPs, women's health specialists & private consultants, the best I was offered was a course of anti-depressants.

I felt hopeless. Yet, there was something inside of me telling me to stick to my guns & find another way. And so I did.

I spent months obsessed with learning everything I could about hormone health, how the pill worked & what I needed to do to heal my body. I couldn't believe just how much there was to learn (& how little of it I'd ever been taught!).

It became my full time focus and after a lot of trial and error, I started to see progress. The intense, never-ending anxiety got easier, I wasn't crying nearly as much & I was having regular periods for the first time ever!

I continued to learn & apply and over time, things got better and better. Now, 3 years on I still have a completely regular cycle which I know inside and out, I am symptom free and my mental health is worlds better than it was.

I still continue to develop my knowledge and refine my own approach to supporting my hormones but these days, my focus is on helping other women do the same.

My mission is to make hormone health SIMPLE (so that you don't need to spend months figuring it all out like I did).

Teaching women the power of their hormones & how to heal them is my life's work & nothing gives me more pleasure than watching women say "no thanks" to unnecessary prescriptions and take the power back into their own hands. 

Welcome to my world,
