About Mary, Chief Queen

Hey, I’m Mary

I am a 57-year-old naturopath, hormone geek, lover of life, mother of 5, unshakable optimist, natural therapies enthusiast and dedicated to helping women enhance and enrich their aging process and quality of life for years to come.

"Maple Syrup, My Trusty Backpack & Herbal Medicine"

I am born-and-raised Canadian girl from Woodstock, Ontario. After backpacking my way around the world, I made Australia my 2nd home. And wow, Sunshine Coast, what a beautiful piece of the world it is!

Experiencing a health crisis in my 20’s led me down the road of frustration and botched medical intervention which ultimately led me to the uncharted waters of natural medicine.

At the time I had never heard of a naturopath, let alone what one actually does!

I became in awe of the diversity and therapeutic powers of herbal medicine, vitamin and minerals.

And how changing my diet shut down my symptoms, increased my energy and confidence that I did have control over my physical and emotional health.

It was the beginning of a whole new chapter. I graduated from my naturopathy degree in 2003 and haven’t looked back. Transforming others emotional and physical health never gets old.

Geez I love my profession!

9 Published Books, 100’s of Babies Born & Mastering Hormones

After achieving my qualifications (and 2 pregnancies!) I specialised in women’s reproductive health and all things hormones.

‘The Baby Builders’ was born as I guided infertile couples into full term healthy pregnancies.

My 9 published books dove into the topics of PCOS, Endometriosis, Fibroids, Miscarriage, IVF Support, Male Infertility, Unexplained Infertility and Preconception Care.

What a joy and honour to play a part in the preparation of conception of these little ones. And how cool is it that our preconception programs would benefit the health of 4 future generations to come!?

The Other Side of 45, It’s NOT All Downhill From Here & Changing Up Our Aging Conversation

Over the years due to my experience and aging process, I switched gears from building babies… to healthy female aging.

I threw myself completely into studies and research to master the ins and outs of perimenopause.

The conversations over the years with these beautiful aging women have been full of insight, tears, laughter, worry, frustration, hope, strategies and solutions.

Through their challenges and triumphs, I was able to have a sneak peek into my future peri/menopausal self!

Now at 57 I am feeling fabulous both emotionally and physically and I have my patients, these amazing women, to thank for all of their lessons along the way.

Hormone Queens was created to amplify my expertise helping more women reverse the symptoms of peri/menopause and implement anti-aging strategies to live a full, physical, happy and healthy life.

We are on a mission to change the conversation, attitude, mindset, cliches and norms around the female aging process.

Trust me, you don’t need to live with debilitating symptoms and it is NOT all downhill from here!

Action by Action, Achieving Results & The Ripple Effect

Over the years, I’ve developed a reputation for teaching “action-by-action” rather than step by step.

Confusing and conflicting information causes crippling overwhelm. It is only when there is a professional, clear and concise action plan that confidence, momentum and long-term results can be achieved.

Yes, the priority is to eliminate menopausal symptoms, but the positive benefits of hormone regulation ripple far beyond stopping hot flushes!

Picture your world with decreased inflammation, less pain, improved sleep, better moods, no bloating and more energy.

Pushing the reset button on hormonal health creates a positive domino effect to the rest of your body’s systems.

Raving Queens…Success Stories

See how those who walked before you found their relief!

“

I joined Hormone Queens because I wanted to lose some weight and regulate my emotions on the lead up to my period. Mary took it deeper with my digestion, had a gut test done and found an angry parasite in my gut. Doing her gut cleanse and hormone cleanse has help all of my symptoms and I couldn’t be happier. I have energy, sleep better, feel calmer and no more bloating. Cheers Mary, couldn’t have done it without you.

I feel amazing! Thank you soooo much! In one month, I have lost 4 kilos. My energy is amazing, my hair is staying in my head, my flushes have calmed right down and I can remember why I walked into a room! Mary is so knowledgeable and such a delightful human! Thank you, I will recommend my sweaty friends!

After working with Mary it all came together for me. She helped me reduce all of the inflammation in my body that I didn’t even know I had, altered my foods, did a hormone test, took some supplements, did her mindset exercises and feel sooo much better. Highly recommend Mary and the team.

I approached Hormone Queens when I was at an all time low. My body was shutting down at 48 and I was told that there was nothing wrong with me by my doctor (which was infuriating because I have never felt worse). I learned more in the first hour consultation with Mary than I have with all of my doctors and specialists. She set me up with all that I needed to do, I followed her advice and fixed so much more than my hormones. Super grateful!

Hot flushes were taking over my life. I had zero libido and even though my periods had stopped I still got all the symptoms with no bleeding! Wtf!? Mary is so easy to talk to and was so clever and kind in her approach to helping me. She found out with this test that I had no progesterone and super high oestrogen. All her natural stuff worked a treat and I am not sweaty Kathy and got my zing back for bedroom activities! Big thanks Mary, couldn’t have done it without you

Depression and hormone hell had me grabbing crap food or no food at all. Everything was too hard. I was struggling at work, home, being a mum and a human. I didn’t realise how much my hormone stuff impacted my moods. Mary helped my nervous system, balance my hormones and taught me how to eat well again. My moods have lifted and I have even started excising again. Early days after being depressed for years but I am on the right road and so very thankful. Mary you are the best.

Mary worked out that my thyroid wasn’t working, after seeing 3 doctors about my weight gain, fatigue and anxiety, she cracked it. I took nutrients and herbs and she somehow got my thyroid kicked into gear and I seriously feel like a new woman. My energy is back, dropped weight and eating better than ever. Hormone Queens have been my saviour

Super heavy periods, debilitating period pain and exhaustion was my life. My doctor had no idea what to do and a friend recommended Mary. She mixed me up a liquid herbal potion, drank it for 3 months, now on my 4^th period since meeting her and now no more days in bed feeling terrible. Hormones no longer rule my life. So grateful and highly recommend her magic potion!

Hormone Queens helped me with my night sweats, feeling itchy under my skin, insomnia and severe anxiety. It got to the point where I wouldn’t go to the shops or even see friends. Mary worked out that my hormones were all over the place and making my anxiety worse. I did a saliva test and she knew what to do. Happy to say that I am sleeping much better, itching gone, just the occasional night sweat and feeling soooo much calmer. Have told all my friends Mary, they are going to love you!

When the weight started piling on and I was awake 2-3 hours a night, I knew that sh*t was getting real. Mary helped me get my weight down and sleeping again, but even better we worked on my moods and motivation to start caring about my health again. The differences are huge. Big high five to Hormone Queens, thank you so much

Came to Mary for my hormones but my gut was also a mess and had been for years. Mary ordered a poo test and found out that I had a nasty parasite. All these years I have been told its just IBS and there wasn’t much I could do. Mary put me on a gut cleanse and a special gut diet and now I have no bloating, my bowels are normal, no gut pain and my energy is back. Cannot believe the difference and so grateful to have met Mary. Love the way her brain thinks and the actions she took to help me. Big thank you

When doctors couldn’t help me with my long-term health issues, I found Mary, and she fixed me. Her knowledge, care, and thoroughness far exceed anything I’ve ever experienced before. I can’t recommend her highly enough. From a forever thankful patient
