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.

Silent Temors: A Journey through Anxiety, Memory and Metamorphis

There's a trembling that begins beneath the deep surface. You don't always notice it at first - like the faint shiver of an earthquake just beginning. It starts as something imperceptible, but then it rises. It rises until it shakes the very ground of your being, moving everything in its path. You want to run. You want to escape - searching frantically for exits to flee the overwhelming feeling. But there are no exits. Not this time. This time you must stand still. You must face the tremor, the trigger, the truth. When Anxiety Has No Name Growing up, we didn't have a name for this feeling. Anxiety wasn't something we diagnosed or discussed - it was simply part of life. An unspoken presence that drifted in and out like a shadow, without recognition or fanfare. Yet, looking back, there was no shortage of things to be anxious about.  We lived in households ruled not by reason, but by consequence. Where too many tears could get you told "If you don't stop crying I...

Madhya Rising - The Alchemy of Trauma

Trigger Warning: Some content may be distressing. Please take care. The female brain is a remarkable thing - growing, then pruning, refining, and growing again, going through the same process, over and over, at specific times in our lives. As we learn and move through the various stages of life it moves with us, guiding our actions, reactions and fulfilling its role as the Director. The 7-Year Cycles of Change The crucial times in our lives, when we undergo the most pruning and re-building are set in cycles. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine this is every 7 years,  more specifically - during the hormonal shifts and changes of early childhood, pre-adolescence, adolescence, through fertility, pregnancy, and then on through peri-menopause, menopause and into post-menopause. Having a brain that is working harmoniously throughout these cycles is just as important to a smooth hormonal journey as your environment, genetics and lifestyle factors are. When Harmony is Disrupted So, w...

Mama Madhya: Embracing The Pause

With stealth, she follows closely behind me, in my moving wake, like a shadow - just out of sight. Barely perceptible, she tracks my every movement, absorbing my every thought, consuming my very essence as I slowly wind my way through life. The bag she carries has grown enormous, the hole in its bottom only big enough for a small trickle of detritus to escape as she patiently, loyally, and purposefully follows my movements. I am aware of her, quietly sitting with me. I want to acknowledge her, give her time, attention, and love, but I am too busy, I must be somewhere, do something, give more, be more, have more. There are too many people needing my attention, too many tasks, too many responsibilities, too much noise.  Yet, I feel her diligently waiting for the right moment - the moment where she says, "No more." The moment where she trips me up, makes me stumble and fall, nudging me to say, "If you don't stop and listen, I will give You this bag to carry, and you won...
