About the Author



About the Author

Hi, I'm Rebecca, a writer and storyteller committed to exploring the truths we often keep quiet. My work is grounded in lived experience, and I write to connect, to heal, and to open conversations - especially around the journey of life, hormonal transitions and the quiet revolutions of womanhood. 

The Dance

The hormonal journey is a dance, something we cannot escape from, from the minute we are conceived until the moment we leave, we are hormones in motion. Every action, reaction and process that occurs in the human body is driven by our hormones. 

Mama Madhya is a story, and personal Menopause journey. As a health practitioner, a mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend, I bring my perspective of the hormonal journey, looking at it from the emotional, biological, philosophical, and spiritual aspect. Giving insight, food for thought and practical tips on how we can walk through this journey with Grace.

Born in the UK and raised in NZ, I love the outdoors, have a passion for Natural Healing and enjoy writing. I live with my blended family in quaint small town NZ. Near the sea. 

Who Was I Before

And I am so much more. 

I am a healer, a naturopath, a herbalist, an acupuncturist, a bodyworker, an energy practitioner, an intuitive, and a reader of signs.

I am a nature lover, a free spirit, a student, a survivor.

I am also at times, a complete nightmare - hyperactive, neurotic, a walking PTSD-in-remission (yes, this is a thing).

Over the past few months, I have been asking myself:
Who was I before I was taking care of others?
What brought me joy?
What sparked my fire?

And I remember - writing.

Bringing words to life has always been something I have enjoyed. So while I experience my Mama Madhya, I will write.

I will share my story - a roller coaster of experience - one that has shaped me into the healer that I am. Someone who can hold space for others, because I understand. And I seek to understand.

The Herbal Journey

Along with my writing I share herbal support and information for the hormonal journey.

Anchors in a Sea of Change

Change is the only constant in the universe. Sometimes it creeps in, slow and steady, over decades. Other times it crashes into our lives - in a split second, a heartbeat. This reality means that we are always in flow - until we are not. Until change sweeps away everything we thought was solid.  Stagnation is something we look at often in Chinese Medicine, the stagnation - lack of flow - of qi or energy can lead to illness and through accumulation, even death. Life must move. But constant movement without something to hold us steady can leave us feeling like a ship without a mooring. We all need anchors - a point of stability that allows us to grow without drifting into chaos.  My life is has been a delicate dance between movement and stillness, between seeking change and longing for something safe to hold onto. Looking back, I can see how these forces shaped me - not just in the obvious ways, but like those before me, in the small, quiet shifts that have trickled down to the ...

Walking Through Life With Grace

Every day can be a page turner if we so choose. Some days we put the book down and leave it untouched for weeks; then curiosity takes hold and we find ourselves picking the story back up again and become engrossed in the plot - wondering where it will take us, how it will end, or whether it simply leads us into the next story. And so it is with life: a never ending journey of discovery. In the quiet moments - those rare pauses where we step away from the story and simply breathe - we offer ourselves grace. Grace to catch up with what has been, and to prepare for what comes next.  What is Grace, Really? Grace is funny thing to define. It's not something you can rate out of ten like joy or excitement. It's quieter. A quality more than a feeling. A state of being we often don't recognise until we look inward or back over the path we've travelled.  A dear friend of mine, one I shared my early life with - and who tragically passed away at just 24 - once wrote on my 21st key:...

Unfolding The Self: The Quiet Courage of Authenticity

Today we live in a world that it layered with subterfuge. The simplicity and rawness of years gone by have been replaced with this growing world of alternate reality. Every little aspect of life is documented and devoured, celebrated but also offered up as fodder to the masses.  The Pressure to Conform From the minute of conception there is often an intense overlay of observation, and as time goes by, a pressure of how the unborn may live, breathe and be - according to what is trending, what is popular, and what is perceived to be "the right way". Under the guise of freedom and choice, we have become more trapped than we have ever been before. Whether it is through religion, woke ideology, freedom-seeking alternatives, traditional or cultural values-based thinking, we walk into this world with less ability to just be our raw and authentic selves. At every turn, we are offered narratives, roles, and labels that quickly begin to layer over the core of who we are - often before ...
