Embracing That True Change Comes Over Time

Instant transformations are rare, especially with chronic conditions like fibroids. Understanding that progress may be gradual helps you maintain motivation. Celebrate small victories and be gentle with yourself when progress feels slow. Remember, sustainable change is built over months, even years, not days.

Moving from “Fix Me” Mentality to Healing Oneself

Relying solely on external solutions can disempower you. Healing starts with taking ownership, listening to your body, learning what it needs, and actively participating in your journey. This mindset empowers you to make better choices and develop a deeper connection with your health.

From All-or-Nothing Thinking to Consistent Imperfection

Perfectionism can sabotage progress. It’s unrealistic to expect flawless adherence to every health habit all the time. Instead, aim for consistent imperfection, doing your best most of the time, forgiving yourself when you slip up, and continuing forward. This approach reduces stress and keeps you engaged in your healing process.

Shifting Focus from Symptoms to Systems

Focusing solely on symptom relief overlooks the underlying causes of fibroids. Long-term healing requires a holistic approach that addresses body systems such as, hormonal balance, inflammation, digestion, and stress response. By understanding and supporting your entire system, you move beyond temporary fixes toward meaningful, deep healing.

Commitment and Support Are Key

Navigating natural healing for fibroids is a long-term investment of your time, energy, and resources. It’s not something to tackle alone or without adequate knowledge. These five mindset shifts provides a foundation for sustainable progress, but remember, medical guidance also play a vital role. Commit wholeheartedly, approach your healing journey with compassion and patience, and embrace the process as a transformative experience. Your health is worth it.

These aren’t just rhetorical questions.
They were voiced by a woman who was frustrated, disillusioned, and at her breaking point.

She’d done everything “right.” She’d gone to her GP, followed the advice, asked the questions, but still felt worse and was none the wiser.
And now, to get the kind of care she really wanted, care that looked at the full picture, she felt like she had to pay through the nose for it.

For many women, this is not just a one-off.
It’s the norm. The frustration is real. Pain is common.

And here’s why…

The Medical System Isn’t Broken. It Was Built This Way.

Let’s call it what it is: the medical model is excellent at crisis care; stopping a heart attack, setting broken bones, and managing symptoms in emergencies.

You cannot fault them. Point blank.

But when it comes to chronic, lifestyle issues, invisible conditions like Endo or PCOS, or anything related to hormones, fatigue, mood, digestion, pain, or energy…

You’ll be lucky if you get more than 7 minutes with a doctor who half-listens then sends you home with either a prescription or a dismissal:
“You’re just getting older.”
“Your labs look normal.”
“It’s in your head.”

Or in my case “Go and buy some Voltarol.”

I have not been to a doctors office since.

The frustration builds and builds…

Holistic Care Offers Something Different

Now enter holistic care.

It's not a Band-Aid, nor a pill; but a deep exploration into your body, your environment, unresolved trauma, gut health, energy levels, food, emotions and much more.

As a Holistic health coach and womb strategist.…I am the one asking:

• What happened before the symptoms started?

• What’s your daily rhythm like?

• What’s going on in your relationships?

• How does your body feel after you eat, move, cry, rest?

I trained and invested heavily and extensively to see the full picture, not just your lab results.
All that investigation takes time, attention, presence, expertise and pattern recognition. And often, I use tools the mainstream medical system doesn’t [and would not] even acknowledge.

“But Why Do I Have to Pay for It?”

Let’s get real here: the current system does not cover holistic care because it was never designed to.

Let me repeat that…

It was not designed to include holistic care!

Insurance companies operate on standardised protocols, diagnostics, and fast solutions, not customised, root-cause healing. [Healing vs. treatment]

If that was the case, my parents would be fully healed once they came out of hospital. But, instead, they were discharged barely functional, leaving the family to do the bulk of the care.

Further, if holistic care were covered, it would likely be so limited, boxed-in, and regulated that the very essence of what makes it powerful…esp. in my ability to be flexible and provide truly personalised protocols, would be stripped away.

So yes, like many practitioners, I operate privately. I don’t have much choice.
Not because I want to keep people out, but because I refuse to water what I do, down.

I don't get funding from pharmaceutical companies.
I don't have government subsidies.
I don't sell prescriptions.

And I certainly won’t be receiving any awards or accolades any time soon!

I invest in advanced trainings, certifications, testing equipment, and hours of one-to-one guidance because I believe you are worth more than 7 rushed minutes and a dismissal.

But What About the Money Honey?

This is where it gets sensitive.

Considering how much money touches every aspect of our lives, you’d think it would get talked about more? Nope! But that is another subject for another time.

Many people have money blocks around investing in their health.
They feel guilt, fear, or even shame for spending money on themselves, especially when the system has conditioned them to believe:

• “Health services should be free.”

• “You're selfish for spending on your own wellbeing.”

• “If it's not covered, it's not real.”

One of the biggest reasons to poo poo what holistic practitioners do is because…wait for it… it's not backed by ‘science’ or placebo controlled clinical studies.

{That’s B.S., but like money, that’s another story for another day!]

But here’s the thing…healing is an investment.
No matter what, you will pay.

The question is: will you pay now or later? And what will you pay with? Your body when issues get chronic, energy wasted guessing, or money spent on things that don’t work? There will always be a cost regardless.

And if money is tight (which is very real for many), you still deserve access. That’s why there are so many flexible options: group programs, sliding scales, digital tools, payment plans, or even free resources that go far beyond what your GP offers.

The System Won’t Change Unless We Do

We are not just healing our bodies.
We are unlearning a system that told us to put all our faith in doctors.

And that takes courage.

Choosing holistic care is more than a personal decision, it’s a quiet rebellion.
It says: “I refuse to accept that feeling miserable is normal.”

It’s a shift from helplessness to empowerment.

And for every woman who has felt dismissed, gaslit, and let down by the system, know this: you are not crazy, lazy, or being overly dramatic.
You are wise for questioning.
You are brave for seeking more.
You are powerful for choosing healing, even when it feels hard.

You deserve to feel good. Not just “not sick.” But good. Alive. Energised.

And no system, medical or otherwise should be able to take that away from you.

Historically, the medical system was designed by men for men, with little regard for the nuanced needs of others. Even today, despite advances in science and technology, this legacy persists. Women, particularly those of African descent, often find themselves subjected to medical interventions that do not honour their unique biological makeup. The approach to healing must therefore be tailored, considering the intricate biochemical and physiological variations that exist within different populations.

The Importance of a Tailored Healing Approach

Research shows that there is a significant difference in the biochemistry of people with higher levels of eumelanin (found predominantly in people of African descent) versus those with higher levels of pheomelanin. These differences extend beyond pigmentation and influence aspects such as nutritional needs, metabolism, and even spiritual inclination. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for developing more effective and personalised healing approaches.

For instance, eumelanin-dominant individuals may have different nutritional requirements due to their body’s ability to absorb and process certain vitamins and minerals differently. Yet, mainstream dietary recommendations and treatment protocols rarely take this into account. A diet rich in specific minerals and antioxidants could support optimal health, yet medical professionals seldom discuss this in relation to biochemical individuality.

Spirituality and the Disconnection from Self

An often-overlooked aspect of healing is spirituality. Historically, eumelanin rich people tend to exhibit strong spiritual inclinations, as seen in the number of churches and spiritual communities led by and composed of these individuals. Spirituality, in this sense, is an intrinsic quality rather than a learned behavior. However, modern systems often encourage individuals to look outside themselves for healing and guidance rather than cultivating the innate wisdom they possess naturally.

This separation from self, whether through medical interventions, societal conditioning, or religious dogma, has profound implications. Just as a woman’s womb is often dismissed as a mere disposable organ rather than a centre of creation, the spiritual connection to self is similarly disregarded. When individuals are encouraged to disconnect from their natural essence, it results in a disempowered state, which, unbeknownst to them, may lead to emotional and physical ailments.

The Role of Trauma and Toxicity

The womb, in particular, is a site where unprocessed emotions, past experiences, and even ancestral memories reside. When these emotions remain unresolved, they manifest as fibroids, cysts, and other gynaecological issues. Yet, mainstream medicine rarely acknowledges this connection. Instead, surgical interventions are recommended without addressing the root cause of dysfunction.

Additionally, eumelanin has the ability to bind to heavy metals, which has both protective and harmful implications. On one hand, this binding ability helps capture harmful metals and reduce oxidative stress. However, excessive heavy metal accumulation can contribute to toxicity, leading to cellular damage and increased oxidative stress. The medical system fails to address the role of detoxification in healing, despite the clear impact of environmental toxins on health.

Moving Towards Holistic Healing

To truly support health and well-being, we must acknowledge and embrace biochemical differences rather than ignore them. Healing must be approached holistically, integrating spiritual, emotional, and biochemical aspects rather than merely suppressing symptoms. Nutrition, mental well-being, spiritual alignment, and detoxification are all crucial components of this approach.

Recognising the wisdom inherent within the body, whether in the womb, in melanin, or in spirituality, allows for a more profound and lasting healing process. Rather than viewing medical professionals as the ultimate authority, individuals should be empowered to reclaim sovereignty over their health, understanding that true healing comes from within.

Conclusion

The medical field has its place, but it is not the ultimate answer to all health issues. Understanding biochemical individuality, particularly the unique properties of eumelanin-rich individuals, provides a foundation for more effective and meaningful healing. As we move forward, it is imperative to shift from a reductionist model of medicine to one that truly acknowledges the interplay of body, mind, and spirit.

What Does "Detox into Your Destiny" Even Mean? Is it Some New Crazy Fad?

In a world where trends come and go as fast as the latest viral TikTok dance, you might be wondering if "Detox into Your Destiny" is just another crazy health fad. But this isn't about quick fixes or chasing the next big thing. This is about something much deeper—your transformation. "Detox into Your Destiny" is a call to cleanse not just your body, but your entire being, so you can step into the life you were always meant to live. It's not just about physical detoxing; it's about clearing the clutter from your mind, your habits, your emotions, and your spirit to create space for the new, the possible, and the extraordinary.

Detox as a Gateway to Transformation

Let's start with the basics. Detoxification is a natural process that your body is already hard at work doing every single day. The liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, and even your gut are constantly filtering out toxins and waste, keeping you alive and functioning. In an ideal world, these organs would be all you need to keep yourself clean, healthy, and vibrant. But we don’t live in an ideal world, do we? We live in a world that bombards us with toxins—from the air we breathe, the food we eat, to the thoughts we think. Our bodies are doing the best they can, but sometimes they need a little extra help. This is where detox comes in—not as a trend, but as a necessity.

When we detox, we're not just helping our body catch up; we're opening a gateway to transformation. This isn’t just about shedding a few pounds or clearing up your skin. It’s about resetting your entire system so you can operate at your highest potential. It’s about unburdening yourself from what no longer serves you, so you can finally start serving your true purpose.

The Power of Detoxification

Detoxification is powerful. When you start to clear out the physical toxins, you create space for new energy, new thoughts, and new possibilities. Think of it like cleaning out a cluttered room. You don't realise how much all that "stuff" was weighing you down until it's gone, and suddenly, you can breathe again. Your energy levels spike, your mind feels sharper, and you begin to experience a sense of lightness you forgot was possible.

But remember, detox isn’t just physical. The power of detoxification lies in its ability to touch every aspect of your life. It’s a catalyst for change—both inside and out. As you detox your body, you naturally begin to detox your mind, your habits, and even your relationships. What happens next? You open yourself up to a new level of vitality and purpose.

Resetting Your Body for Vitality

The journey to vitality begins with the body. Imagine pressing a reset button that brings your entire system back into alignment. This is what a physical detox can do for you. By giving your organs the support they need to eliminate toxins, you allow your body to heal and rejuvenate. The fog lifts, and suddenly, you have the energy to chase your dreams instead of just dragging yourself through the day.

But it's not just about what you take out—it's about what you put in. As you clear away the old, your body becomes more receptive to the nutrients, love, and care you give it. You become more in tune with what your body truly needs, and this newfound vitality ripples out into every area of your life.

Detoxifying the Mind

Just as your body holds onto toxins, your mind holds onto clutter—negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, and outdated narratives that no longer serve you. A true detox isn’t complete until you address the mental clutter that’s holding you back.

Imagine what your life would look like if you could detox your mind. What if you could clear away the self-doubt, the fears and the insecurities? What would be possible for you then? As you begin to detox your mind, you start to see the world through a new lens. Problems become opportunities, and obstacles become stepping stones. You start to believe in possibilities you never dared to dream of before.

Transforming Habits for a New You

Detoxification is not just a one-time event; it's a lifestyle. It’s about transforming the habits that have kept you stuck in the same old patterns. As you clear out the physical and mental toxins, you’ll find it easier to break free from the habits that no longer align with who you’re becoming. You’ll naturally start to gravitate towards choices that nourish you—body, mind, and soul.

This is where the magic happens. As you detox your life, you begin to embody the new you. You start to live in alignment with your highest potential, and that’s when you truly start to step into your destiny.

Healing the Heart and Spirit

No detox is complete without healing the heart and spirit. Often, the toxins we hold onto are not just physical but emotional and spiritual. Old wounds, unhealed trauma, and unresolved emotions can keep us stuck in cycles of pain and suffering. But as you detox, you create space for healing. You allow yourself to feel, to release, and to let go of what no longer serves you.

This is the most powerful aspect of detoxification—when it goes beyond the physical and begins to heal the deepest parts of you. As your heart and spirit heal, you open up to love, joy, and connection on a whole new level. You begin to see your life through the eyes of possibility, and you start to live from a place of purpose and passion.

"Detox into Your Destiny" is not a fad; it's a call to transformation. It's about clearing away the old to make space for the new. It's about healing your body, mind, heart, and spirit so you can step into the life you were always meant to live. When you detox, you don't just cleanse your body—you cleanse your entire being. You reset, realign, and reignite your passion for life.

So, are you ready to detox into your destiny? Are you ready to let go of what no longer serves you so you can step into the fullness of who you are meant to be? The choice is yours, and the journey starts now.

• Super Seed Chocolate Smoothie

• How What We Eat Has Stopped Us Listening to Ourselves

This space is where I teach the real truths about fibroids, womb health, and healing: the things women are never told. Stay connected as I continue to share the frameworks, insights, and root‑cause teachings that shape my work.

If you are not aware, among my many qualifications, one of those is that I am a trained Raw Food Chef and Instructor. So today, I’ve bought to you one of my favourite smoothies: Super Seed Chocolate Smoothie. 😀

This is one of my go to smoothies and a great excuse to have chocolate first thing in the morning! 🍫

This chocolate smoothie is not only indulgent and delicious but also very filling, and as long as you keep the sweetener low, it will help stabilise your blood sugar levels, so no snacking!

For this recipe, I used my Nutri Bullet so I ground up all the seeds (except the hemp seeds) into a powder as there is nothing worse than a smoothie with bits in! If I was using my high speed blender however, I would have put the seeds in whole.

You’ll note that I didn’t specify how much of each ingredients I used.

How much you is personal and according to taste, but as a rule of thumb, I used approximately 1.5 bananas, a tablespoon of cocoa, 2 teaspoons of honey, then 1-2 teaspoons of each seed. I normally use filtered water for my smoothies.

This smoothie is a packed with nutrients which is why is such a brilliant way to start the day. 🙌🏾

Cocoa

If you are a chocolate lover like me, you be pleased to know that raw cocoa is high in so many nutrients, with the biggest being magnesium. If you crave chocolate before or during your period, chances are its because your magnesium levels are low.

If you have chronic womb issues such as heavy bleeding, fibroids or PCOS, its super important to know what your nutritional status is. Your body is in constant flux, so a supplement regime that ebbs and flows with your body and your cycles is ideal.

Magnesium

These are just a small number of the many benefit of magnesium:

Helps normalise blood pressure. Keeps heart rhythm stable. Supports bones strength. Needed for energy production. Regulates hormones. Regulates blood sugar. Production and transport of energy.

I could go on and on just on magnesium alone…

Hemp Seeds

And I could go on and on about the nutrients in hemp seeds, but I’m going to keep this tight!

Hemp seeds contain a nutrient known as Alpha-Pinene or A Pinene.

Alpha-pinene is a naturally occurring compound found in the oils of many plants, especially coniferous trees like pines. It’s one of the major components of pine resin and contributes to that lovely fresh, piney aroma. This compound has anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator properties, making it helpful for respiratory issues. It's also being studied for its potential to enhance memory and alertness. So, next time you take a walk through a pine forest, take a few deep breaths!

For women who suffer with menstrual pain, the anti-inflammatory properties of hemp seeds are a better and more natural way to alleviate pain whilst avoiding any negative side effects medication may have.

Chia Seeds

Like hemp seeds, chia seeds contain a whole plethora of beneficial nutrients with Omega 3, potassium, iron and zinc being among them. As well as being anti-inflammatory, did you know that chia seeds are a natural disinfectant?

Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seeds like chia and hemp is a powerhouse of nutrients. As well as calcium, copper, beta carotene, fibre, folate and magnesium, pumpkin seeds also contain cryptoxanthin.

Cryptoxanthin is a natural pigment found in lots of fruits and vegetables, It is what gives them their vibrant red, orange, and yellow colours. It’s a type of carotenoid and an antioxidant, which means it helps protect cells from damage. Research shows that cryptoxanthin can strengthen your immune system and might even reduce the risk of certain cancers, so adding pumpkin seeds as well as other fruits and vegetables is both tasty and beneficial!

Flax Seeds

Flax seeds are tiny powerhouses packed with nutrients. They are an excellent source of fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans, which have antioxidant properties. These seeds are great for digestive health, heart health, thanks to its anti-inflammatory benefits.

One interesting compound found in flax seeds is cycloartenol. It's a type of plant sterol, which means it helps in maintaining the integrity of cell membranes. Cycloartenol also has potential cholesterol-lowering effects. Including flax seeds in your diet can boost your intake of these beneficial compounds, making them a great addition to smoothies, oatmeal, or baked goods!

So you are not just drinking a chocolate smoothie. You are enjoying a smoothie that will have a beneficial impact not just on your health in general but also your hormones.

Quick Note: Many women with fibroids tend to steer clear of flax seeds due to the phytoestrogens they contain. If you have fibroids flax seeds will only be problematic due to the underlying factors that might mean your body might not tolerate them well – not at least until you have resolved the root cause of fibroids meaning, investigating liver and thyroid function, the health of the gut, checking inflammatory markers, nutrient deficiencies, hormones and how those hormones are being processed in the body.

Right, now for the actual recipe. Here it is:

Super Seed Chocolate Smoothie

Ingredients

Raw cocoa powder

Frozen banana (peeled and chopped before freezing)

Honey or Medjool dates

Hemp seeds

Chia seeds

Pumpkin seeds

Flax seeds

Coconut water or water

Method

Add all the ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth.

Note: If you use coconut water, you won’t need as much sweetener if at all.

Best served chilled or over ice. Enjoy!

Have you ever bought something you thought you liked, only to change your mind once it's home?

It's a common scenario. We buy impulsively or because we believe we'll need it later, only for those items to gather dust or become glorified clothes hangers. Go on, check your cupboard for juicers, smoothie makers, bread machines and other large items gathering dust.

Around 11 years ago, I had to vacate my one-bedroom flat in a hurry, which meant putting my belongings into storage temporarily. That temporarily turned into 11 years, during which I continued paying to store items I no longer needed. It wasn't until the end of March that I decided to confront this monthly cost.

The realisation of this hit hard – I was wasting money on stuff I no longer wanted or needed. Sorting through those neatly boxed items, I found little attachment to any of it. Even cherished photographs didn't escape the purge. It dawned on me how easily we accumulate things, cluttering our lives with belongings we hang on to because we’ve grown attached to them.

Leave a comment

Over the years, I've become more aware of the constant media barrage urging us to spend. But this awareness extended beyond material possessions. While working in health stores many years back, I observed shoppers' behaviour, realising the excessiveness in our consumption habits. It was a pivotal moment, the beginning of my journey to declutter not just my physical space but my mind and emotions too.

Unbeknown to me, holding onto physical belongings mirrored my emotional clutter. As life threw many challenges my way, I found myself drowning in emotional turmoil, unknowingly sabotaging my own progress. Despite outward appearances, I felt like an imposter, struggling to reconcile my public persona with my internal struggles.

The emotional weight I carried impacted every aspect of my life, hindering my business endeavours and leaving me feeling like a fraud. It was as if I were a sink clogged with unresolved emotions, draining my energy and stifling my potential.

Through confronting the physical clutter, I began addressing the deeper layers of emotional baggage, clearing out toxicity from both my surroundings and my psyche. It's an ongoing process, but with each item released, I feel lighter, freer, and more aligned with my true self.

You might ask, what do I mean by my true self?

Well, there were several Valerie's, you see. There was the Valerie for work, polished and professional, and then there was the Valerie for friends, outgoing and fun-loving. But the real Valerie, the one with all the messy emotions and vulnerabilities, was reserved for those closest to me.

But hiding in the shadows was another Valerie. This Valerie felt powerful, capable of anything she set her mind to. Yet, she was suffocated beneath layers of 'stuff'. Covered in clutter, all she could do was whimper, stifled by the weight of it all. Sometimes, I'd catch glimpses of her, but then I'd silence her with dark chocolate rice cakes, burying her deeper because letting her out was too frightening. What if no one liked her?

Eventually, my mental state deteriorated to a point where I had no choice but to confront it. It felt like a cacophony of voices in my head, and I feared I was losing my grip on reality.

So, I dug deep and reached out to the universe for help and guidance. Whatever this 'stuff' was, it had to go.

I started my journey of detoxing and clearing out the emotional and mental clutter, a process that spanned three years. It was not easy, I had to dive deeper and deeper to uncover the true essence of who I was, beyond the perceptions others had imposed upon me.

Layer by layer, I let go of the accumulated mental and emotional baggage that had weighed me down for years, including generation trauma, that kept me trapped in patterns of behaviour I desperately wanted to break free from. It was a time of frustration, anguish, and self-loathing.

But now, I can proudly say that I've cleared out a significant amount of gunk. Again, while it's an ongoing process, the journey has been enlightening. What I cherish most is the spiritual growth I've experienced (not religious growth), and the heightened intuition that now guides me with crystal clear clarity.

My journey of confronting the physical clutter I had in storage for far too long, led me to a profound realisation of the emotional and mental clutter that had been holding me back for years. Through years of diligent detoxing and introspection, I shed layers of accumulated ‘stuff’, freeing myself from patterns of behaviour that held me back.

Now, I stand lighter, clearer, and more aligned with my true self than ever before. Yes, it's been a tough journey, but the highlight is my spiritual growth and a heightened intuition that guides me in all aspects of my life.

If you resonate with my experience, I encourage you to take action and begin your own journey of clearing out toxic waste in your lives. Whether it's physical clutter, emotional baggage, or mental barriers, know that liberation awaits on the other side of letting go. Trust in the process, and allow yourself to unfold into the best version of yourself.

“Fibroids are a manifestation of unexplored creativity, a way for the body to express the unexpressed aspects of the self". Dr. Christaine Northrup

Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt's 5-level healing model provides more of a comprehensive framework for understanding the complexities that contribute to fibroids. According to Dr. Klinghardt, fibroids can be viewed as a manifestation of dis-ease at multiple levels, requiring a multi-faceted approach to healing. He states that fibroids are a result of a "disconnection from the body's innate wisdom", which can be addressed through a 5-level healing process. This model recognises that fibroids are not just a physical condition, but also a reflection of underlying biochemical, neurological, psychological, and spiritual imbalances.

Physical Factors

Fibroids tend to cause a range of physical symptoms that significantly impact daily life. Women with fibroids often experience heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, leading to anaemia, fatigue, and decreased productivity. Pelvic pain and pressure can cause discomfort which limits daily activities, while frequent urination and constipation can further decrease quality of life. According to a 2013 study, fibroids can lead to significant emotional distress, anxiety, and depression, with 60% of women reporting a decrease in overall well-being (Harley et al., 2013). Furthermore, fibroids can also affect reproductive health, leading to infertility, miscarriage, and preterm labour. As a result, women with fibroids often experience a significant reduction in their ability to engage in daily activities, social activities, and leisure pursuits, leading to a diminished sense of well-being and overall quality of life.

So while conventional therapies, such as surgery and hormonal treatments, can be effective, these approaches often focus solely on symptom relief, neglecting the underlying causes of fibroids. According to Dr. Klinghardt, a functional medicine approach can help address the underlying biochemical and physiological imbalances that contribute to fibroids.

Biochemical Imbalances

Fibroids can be viewed as a manifestation of biochemical imbalances, which can be caused by a range of factors, including hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and nutritional deficiencies (Klinghardt, 2015). Hormonal imbalances, such as oestrogen dominance, can contribute to fibroid growth by stimulating the growth of fibroid cells. Inflammation also contributes to fibroid growth by creating a pro-inflammatory environment, which is triggered by factors such as stress, poor diet, and toxicity. Additionally, nutritional deficiencies, can also contribute to fibroid growth as the body does not have the compounds it needs to defend and regulate itself.

Neurological Factors

Chronic stress, emotional and generational trauma, along with other forms of psychological distress contribute to fibroid growth by activating the body's stress response, releasing hormones that stimulate fibroid growth (Klinghardt, 2012). Research shows that women with fibroids often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, which further exacerbates the growth of fibroids (Hey, 2019). Studies have also found that fibroids are often associated with altered brain activity patterns, particularly in regions involved in emotional processing and regulation (Klinghardt, 2012).

Psychological factors

Emotional repression, unexpressed creativity, and unmet emotional needs can all contribute to fibroid growth by creating a state of chronic stress and tension in the body. The psychological model of chronic disease suggests that fibroids are often a manifestation of unresolved emotional conflicts and unexpressed creativity (Klinghardt, 2015).

“Fibroids are a manifestation of unexplored creativity.” Louise Hey

Spiritual Factors

The spiritual model of chronic disease suggests that fibroids are often a manifestation of spiritual disconnection and dis-ease. Disconnection from inner wisdom, lack of purpose, feelings of disconnection from oneself, and the world can all contribute to fibroid growth by creating a sense of dis-ease and imbalance in the body.

Its would appear therefore, that many women who follow the natural route to fibroids, who then give up (because it's not working), may not have tried everything after all, especially if they've been focusing solely on the physical and biochemical aspects of healing, which is a masculine 'fix-it-now' approach, neglecting the divine feminine and the importance of the emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects healing.

As we explore the connection between fibroids and unexplored creativity, we are reminded that fibroids are not only just a manifestation of our current lifestyle, but are also a manifestation of unexpressed creativity, trauma and unmet emotional needs.

In a society that’s dominated by masculine values and principles, it is no wonder that inner wisdom and creativity have been all but lost. But as we move forward, it is essential that we reclaim our feminine power and creativity, and use them to heal and transform our lives.

The divine feminine is not only about nurturing and caring, but also it's about being powerful and creative. It's about being able to create and manifest our deepest desires by embracing our inner wisdom and creativity.

While conventional approaches to fibroid treatment focuses on suppressing symptoms and managing pain, a more nuanced approach is required to truly address the array of factors that contribute to fibroid growth. It is becoming apparent that women need to allow themselves the space to step outside the masculine paradigm of ‘fixing’, which prioritises control and suppression, and instead tap into a more feminine approach that honours the body's wisdom and intuition. By doing so, women with fibroids can begin to heal and transform on a deeper level, rather than simply managing symptoms.
