Hello, darling.
Oh gosh, I’m so thrilled you’re here.
My name is Nelle. I’m a mother, a mystic, a dancer and a writer. I’m a perimenopause naturopath, an astrologer, a narrative therapist, an impeccable space-holder and story medicine guide… a wild intuitive.
I call myself the canary in the coal mine.
My body has been my greatest teacher. She has known almost every experience I now guide women through… and what those initiations taught me is that the body is never working against you. It is always, always working toward your most vibrant self.
My sensitive cells, those brilliant gold canary wings, have guided me toward such overwhelming joy, such fullness… a whole-hearted symphony of existence.
And knowing now, what it feels like to be living All The Way Alive – oh darling, I can’t begin to describe the exquisite bliss.
Understanding women's wellness is my obsession.
It’s my calling. It’s why I’m on this earth.
For too long, women have been disconnected from the source of their impeccable power. For too long, women have been sold the sterile desires of patriarchal success.
Our bodies have become mechanised, our health systems have excised us from our intuition and disconnected us from the immaculate healing majesty of our nature.
We’ve been sold stories of suffering, told that ‘normal’ and ‘healthy’ are the same thing… (spoiler alert: they’re absolutely not).
We’ve swallowed narratives of scarcity; that yes, we may have a thriving business, loving relationships, lives of adventure… but no, we cannot also have a body that feels so alive and vibrant that every single sensation is an invitation to swim within the rivers of bliss.
But darling, these tales are ancient.
They no longer serve humanity.
They no longer serve your body, or your divine purpose.
Perimenopause is a visceral spring-time… the moment the body comes alive, senses ignited and energy aglow.
Every symptom a signal. Every disruption a doorway. Every hot flush, every sleepless night, every moment of magnificent rage… the soul born anew into a body that now has the authority to honour its purpose.
It’s time now, to sink back into our hips. To feel the safety, the surety, and the sovereignty available to us. To discharge the triggers of the past, and feel the whole and wondrous delights of being a woman.
This is where I come in.
I believe our bodies hold the key to our evolution in consciousness. That by unlocking that key, we unlock the dis-ease of our ancestors, our own trauma, and the collective repression of desire.
I believe that the spiritual is expressed through the biological. That hormonal health is a vehicle of that expression. And that it is only through honouring the body that we may learn to feel all the way alive.
And I believe, bone-deep, that perimenopause is not a malfunction. It is a metamorphosis. A rite of passage. The body’s most potent invitation to finally, fully, come home.
Through symbol and myth and story and medicine… big life happens here.
Not managed symptoms. Not a supplement stack and a shrug. Life. The kind that makes you press both hands to your heart, struck with awe and rich reverence.
How I work
I’m based in Brisbane, Queensland and work online with women all over the world.
I hold a Bachelor of Health Science as a Clinical Naturopath and Nutritionist, with registration through the Australian Traditional Medicine Society. I am also a qualified narrative therapist and believe that the stories your body carries are the medicine itself. I’ve continued my professional development across women’s health and reproduction, trauma-informed somatic therapy, and hypnosis. I’ve also nurtured my inner mystic with certifications in medical astrology, womb-heart breathwork, and Mary Magdalene women’s ceremony facilitation.
With all of my recommendations and prescriptions, I always adhere to an intuitive knowing of who my client is and what will best fit them. Some clients present perfectly with a scientific, textbook symptom-picture, while others are much more nuanced… more subtle, more energetic in presentation.
I only ever make recommendations anchored deeply in double-blind research, the empirical data of traditional use, or the ancient lineages I’ve been trained in personally mastered.
My prescriptions are not shopping lists. They are, if I may say so, a ‘whole thing’. Infused with my signature gift of inspiration, thick with prose and sticky ponderings… you’ll read and re-read them with joy and reverence.
Your vitality is my greatest responsibility.
It is with deep honour that I serve you.
A note on story
It is my greatest belief that stories hold the key to our healing… and that unintegrated stories hold captive our trauma.
There are only so many stories humanity moves through. And embedded within those stories, if you know how to look, are allies. Talismans. Plants that appear again and again, in myth after myth, in dream after dream, in the body’s own quiet symbolism. I do not believe this is coincidence.
I am currently writing Mythos Medica … a practitioner’s guide to vitalism that reads symptoms, dreams, and lived experience through the combined languages of myth, archetype, and herbal tradition. It is the distillation of everything I know, offered as a map back to yourself.
I also write fiction, under the nom de plume Eos Azar. My book, The Joy Decision: Rhapsodies for the Afflicted, is a sentient, conscious collection of short fiction stories spanning time, space and possibility. Intricately threaded through each story is an exploration of the nature of joy, and our decisions toward, or away from, its experience. Find it here.
Story, for me, is not separate from the medicine.
It never has been.
Come as you are.
There’s space here for the ecstasy and the ache, for the humble and the bold.
