Orenda Women's Health

The results from over the years! 

With Orenda’s 6th Birthday coming up, it’s the perfect time to reflect on just a couple of the incredible transformations we’ve seen in our clients over the years

Of course when you’re working with clients with a skin condition, you’re not just treating the surface.. each one of these clients committed to the journey of working on their internals and assessing/treating their:

Nutritional Status
Detoxification Pathways
Hormone Health (which includes thyroid & insulin)
Gut Health 
Skin Microbiome
Stress Response

& so much more 

Every client has their own unique journey, but similar stories where they feel like they’ve tried everything

They’ve already been on the pill, doxycycline or roaccutane before

They have spent THOUSANDS of dollars trying to clear their skin

And they’re little at their wits end..

This is why it’s SO important to us to listen to our clients story, identify the gaps of where they haven’t explored and create a tailored treatment plan to get them results

Often this also means collaborating with some of the best skin therapists to handle all of their topicals whilst we navigate all of the internals

Some of these transformations wouldn’t have happened without the collaborative care of a few of our referral skin clinics including Skin.Versity Skin & Cosmetic Tattooing is where magic happens 🪄 and SANA Skin Clinic | Holistic Skin Experts | Melbourne 

We are so grateful to be able to continue to support clients in the way that we do and for all the incredible practitioners we’ve had and currently have within the Orenda Team

You don't need to spend an arm & a leg to work on your acne when it comes to your diet

Your can get PLENTY of readily available foods from woolies that work on the underlying areas that are VITAL when it comes to healing your skin through your gut:
- Foods to support the mucosal lining and reduce inflammation
- Foods to support the growth of beneficial bacteria within the gut and to help your good gut bugs produce their anti-inflammatory mediators
- Foods to keep your bowel motions moving

Keep it simple

Don't over complicate it

And if you need more help, then DM us "discovery" to figure out the root cause of your acne

Six years of treating skin has taught me that clear skin is rarely about finding the one missing supplement or treatment

It's about understanding the person sitting in front of you.

Their history.
Their stress load.
Their relationship with food.
Their routines.
Their beliefs about their skin.
And the internal factors that often go unseen.

These lessons have shaped not only how I practise as a skin specialising Naturopath, but also why I created our face to face event - Beneath The Surface.

This event is designed for skin therapists, dermal clinicians and practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the internal drivers influencing skin conditions, and feel more confident connecting those pieces together for their clients.

We'll be exploring topics including:

• Hormones and acne
• Gut health and skin function
• Stress physiology and inflammatory skin conditions
• Supporting clients beyond the treatment room
• Creating truly individualised treatment strategies

Because when we understand what is happening beneath the surface, we can support more meaningful and lasting outcomes for our clients.

I'd love to celebrate six years of Orenda with you!

Comment EVENT below and I'll send you the details, or secure your place via the link in bio.

P.S. Buy two tickets and receive the third ticket free

Hands up if you’ve been victimised by the pill, doxycycline or roaccutane? 🙌🏼

We all know if you’re walking into the GP clinic with a goal to chat about your acne, you’re more than likely going to be handed a script for one of these or a referral to a dermatologist to prescribe.. 

For the time being whilst you’re on it, absolutely your skin will clear (majority of the time)

But, the root cause isn’t being addressed and we know that when acne begins to show it’s face on the surface - that there’s been an underlying driver brewing for a long time to get to that point! 

So, if you haven’t addressed your:
- Nutritional status
- Blood sugar regulation
- Gut microbiome
- Detoxification pathways
- Nervous system response

You have soo much untouched territory that could be the answer for clearing your skin and creating long term change! 

Comment “discovery” to book in for a strategy call to chat about a realistic treatment plan focused on addressing the cause of your acne!

To celebrate Orenda’s 6th Birthday we’re hosting our first face to face event on all things SKIN of course on Sunday 23rd August in Rosebud!

You guys LOVED our last meal prep friendly post, so we thought we would create another!

Always here to help reduce the complication and help you make EASY and QUICK meals that can be had on repeat.

I know you feel as though you don't have the time to meal prep, but meal prep can taste so good if you know how to do it the right way! And instead of cooking dinner every night, why not cook a few so you can SAVE time overall.

Here is another staple meal for my clients, staple but DELISH!

And if you are vegetarian? Swap the chicken for quorn pieces or tofu (just note the protein / calories will differ quite drastically). Something to consider if your goal is fat loss.

If you want meals like this tailored to you every week without having to think about it, but knowing it is aligning with your health goals, we've got you.

If someone tells me I can't have my coffee I take it personally..

As an Italian who loves her cafe I'm very selective with how and when I choose to bring up the topic of caffeine

But, I would be doing a disservice to my clients if I chose to ignore it all together

Often (just like anything with nutrition), the poison is in the dose and in the habit..

If your one per day brings pure joy and excitement then sure go it..

But, if it's creeping into multiple per day to get you through your hectic work schedule and because you haven't got enough food OR if it's adding to an already extremely stressed state we need to think is it helpful or is it harmful right now?

It's rarely caffeine on it's own that's a cause - but most definitely a trigger amongst all the other potential drivers

But, if you're needing support to clear your skin then comment "discovery" and we can organise a free chat with you!
