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...

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 ...
