Vaginal conditions

Have you been struggling with vaginal discomfort for a while? Do you have recurrent thrush or BV and simply can't get rid of it? Are you experiencing annoying symptoms related to your hormones and menopause? Do you want to test your vaginal microbiome to get answers you have been struggling to find?

I can help. I am specially trained in the area of women's intimate health, and work with women experiencing ongoing symptoms who want relief.

I look to find the root cause of an issue before creating a bespoke plan of action to address symptoms, considering diet, supplements and lifestyle changes.

Our vaginal areas can be surprisingly complex! Many microbes can be present (good and bad), and if these become imbalanced, the bad microbes can be stubborn to get rid of; this may account for ongoing symptoms which come back with traditional medications or OTC creams.

Factors which influence vaginal health are also multifaceted, including hormones, inflammation, blood sugar control, gut & bladder health, nutrient intake, lifestyle factors etc. All of which I look to investigate and optimise if needed to improve your symptoms.

I generally work with clients over a 3 month period; see Working together and Pricing here. I take a whole person view, so during this time I look to make improvements to many aspects of a client's health. Relief from vaginal symptoms can be quick or take time depending on the root cause of the issue. With testing, we can be very specific with targeted interventions.

My Approach

I take a whole person view when supporting a woman's health. Our body doesn't operate as distinct entities; everything is connected. With thorough case taking, delving into symptoms, health history, test results, lifestyle and diet, I investigate why the body may be out of balance and displaying said symptoms. You may be surprised how much we can piece together simply by asking the right questions and taking time to talk!

When creating a plan for a client, I am looking to bring the body back into balance. As the image shows, there are numerous aspects of health we can influence and optimise with diet and supplements, and my job is recommending the right combination for the person in front of me. This is what I have trained to do and is often much better than spending hundreds of pounds on miracle cures which don't give long term solutions.

Client feedback

No more UTIs and better overall health

I haven't had any further UTIs and have braved penetrative sex a couple of times, using the regime you recommended. We have made a number of the dietary changes you recommended and I feel I am eating a much richer, broader diet.

I generally feel much more energetic and switched on. I made it back to my hit class last week for the first time in months and felt good.

So all in all, it feels like a more positive picture especially for this time of year. I really appreciate the support you have provided to date. For the first time really ever, I feel like someone has considered my health holistically and listened to my concerns. It means a huge amount!

Significant improvement in bladder issues (Interstitial cystitis)

I met Jessica nearly a year ago now. I had long-standing bladder issues (interstitial cystitis) and was fortunate to have been recommended to Jessica for help. A few things have stood out over the months we've known each other. First, Jessica's genuine passion and commitment to helping. She truly cares, and that was one of the most important things to me, given that I had seen other practitioners in the past who dismissed or downplayed what I was telling them. Second, she's incredibly knowledgeable and knows her stuff. Third, she understands the importance of calming down flares while trying to dig deeper into the root cause of why they keep occurring. With Jessica's guidance, I've tried a few different approaches. I'm not 100% free of symptoms yet, but I'm finally on the right path to getting my health back on track and have seen significant improvements in my symptoms.

I’m pretty much back to full health

Earlier this year I had a urinary tract infection which persisted in spite of taking 4 rounds of antibiotics. I was feeling very unwell and anxious. I contacted Jessica and she was very empathetic and caring and created me a health plan to manage and recover from the persistent UTI symptoms I was experiencing.

I really believed in the plan; I took some supplements and made dietary changes which really improved my health and I’m delighted to say that 4 months after contacting Jessica I’m pretty much back to full health. Jessica is very knowledgeable and was very interested in my overall health and I’ve learned so much about nutrition which I feel will benefit my health moving forwards. I’m very grateful that my found Jessica to work with and I would highly recommend her.

The tests helped me understand what the cause of my UTI could be

I started working with Jess a few months ago as I was persistently getting a UTI after having sex. I really didn't want to have to keep taking antibiotics, and I had tried various supplements to try and help which sadly didn't work.

I was frustrated about it all, and it was getting me down. Jess was not only hugely informative from the start, but also kind, empathetic and understanding - and wanted to find out what the route cause might be.

With guidance from Jess, I decided to do both a vaginal and bladder microbiome test - which really helped me understand what the cause of my UTI could be (Jess also thoroughly talked me through all of my results) which standard NHS urine tests were not providing me with. I also learnt a lot about other supplements which I could take to help me (and the doses associated with these), as well as diet and how this would help me in the long term.

I (fingers crossed) appear to have turned a corner over the last few weeks, so not only am I delighted about that but I have also learnt a lot which I can take forward in my everyday life. Thank you Jess!
