About Natasha

Helping women feel strong, healthy and informed through perimenopause and beyond

I’m Natasha Watkins, a qualified naturopath and nutritionist with a clinical focus on women’s health, perimenopause and healthy ageing.

My work is centred around helping women navigate the changes that can begin from their mid-30s onwards — not simply managing symptoms, but understanding what is happening in their bodies and supporting their health, strength and vitality for the decades ahead.

My clinical interests include perimenopause and menopause, metabolic health, healthy ageing, skin health, gut health, energy and vitality, body composition, strength training and nutrition, and supporting women who are using or considering HRT alongside appropriate medical care.

A practical, evidence-informed approach

Perimenopause can affect far more than your menstrual cycle. Changes in hormones can coincide with shifts in sleep, mood, energy, body composition, metabolic health, skin, digestion and the way your body responds to food and exercise.

That can leave women feeling as though the strategies that worked for them for years suddenly aren't working anymore.

My approach combines evidence-informed naturopathic care, nutrition and lifestyle medicine with an understanding of the physiological changes occurring during this stage of life.

Rather than treating one symptom in isolation, I look at the bigger picture — including your health history, nutrition, movement and strength training, sleep, stress, metabolic health, pathology results, medications and, where relevant, your experience with HRT.

Where appropriate, pathology and functional testing can also be used to investigate potential contributing factors and help guide a more individualised approach.

Health isn't just about getting through perimenopause

One of the reasons I'm so interested in this stage of women's health is that what we do during our 40s and 50s can influence how we feel and function in the decades that follow.

My goal isn't simply to help women chase symptoms.

It's to help women become stronger, healthier, more metabolically resilient and better informed about their own bodies — with strategies they can realistically maintain.

That means looking beyond the number on the scales and considering muscle and strength, metabolic health, nutrition, cardiovascular and bone health, sleep, energy, skin, gut health and overall vitality.

You don't need another extreme diet, complicated supplement routine or wellness trend.

You need to understand what is changing, what actually matters, and what you can do about it.
