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 ...

The War Within - The War Without

 The Rising Heat As the internal fire flares again within me - my brain sending signals to my body to turn up the temperature, causing my whole being to radiate heat and flush in an attempt to release the pressure - I find myself searching for the trigger. What came before this moment? Was there a thought, a deed, an action that pressed play on this rising heat within? And then, as the sensation passes, I breathe a sigh of relief. Another wave gone. Another step closer toward the door - the eventual exit from this phase of life.  A Mirror to the World In the quiet aftermath, I am drawn to the parallel between my inner and outer world.  Flicking through another doom scroll filled with torment and tragedy, I am reminded that as removed as we may think we are, we are also inextricably linked - on a micro level - to the countries, people, and natural world experiencing chaos and turmoil.  What happens out there... echoes within.  Growing up in a World of Warning As ...

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:...
