Rescue You From The Rollercoaster of Perimenopause
HELLO, I’M DR KIRSTEY HOLLAND
I have worked with women for more than 20 years; women who are worn out from struggling with health challenges such as gut disorders, anxiety, weight gain and more.
I have developed a methodology that aims to heal, seal and repair the gut, rebalance hormones and rescue metabolic health, so that my patients can be their best and most vibrant selves again, I call it: The Hierarchy Of Healing.
This process comes to life with my Vitality Protocol, which consists of 7 elements, the way you: eat, sleep, move, think, test, connect and prescribe.
The process and the protocol are held within a belief that health is bio-psycho-social.
I am a university qualified Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and hold a double degree in acupuncture and herbal medicine. I am a practitioner of Environmental and Nutritional Medicine, Functional Medicine and Naturopathy. I’m a person-centred, trauma informed counsellor and a qualified health coach.
I believe that the best approach to healthcare should be grounded in ancient wisdom while leveraging cutting edge science. The best approach can be personalised for every woman. Because we are all unique in our own special way.
MY STORY
Why do I do what I do? Because I understand what it’s like to feel disease in the body. You see, I am a recovered food addict. When I was a teenager my parents went through an awful divorce and I was sent away to a boarding school where I relied on food for comfort and love and to stop the pain of loneliness.
I was the girl who used food to calm myself and feel safe. I ate when I felt stressed and constantly tried to restrict my diet, only to then binge.I was told I was fat, felt shame about showing my body, and never felt good enough.
This relationship with my body and food continued for years and the turn point really came for me when I started travelling and studying extensively throughout Africa and Asia, and in particular, India where my fascination with Eastern mysticism and Ayurvedic medicine developed.
In spite of this journey, I continued to battle with and abuse my body through food. I was sad and depressed. I knew that my external representation was due to the internal pain I was feeling but I didn’t know what to do about it.
My obsession to manage my weight and my own personal disillusionment with western medicine led me to study Traditional Chinese medicine and naturopathy in both Australia and in China.
I earned my degrees at a number of institutions, broadening AND deepening my perspective.
This journey of learning and practicing has led me to understand that as a woman, our health is intrinsically linked with our own experiences and trauma. I now know that the single most effective way to feel vibrant is to heal, seal and repair the gut, to rebalance your hormones and in the process, rescue your metabolic health.
When we do this we extend our health span, the time we feel healthy and vital during our life. I have been in clinical practice since 2000 having studied and practised alongside some of the best health practitioners around the world – focussing on how to live in a beautifully balanced way that allows us to feel comfortable in our own skin.
I live by the 80/20 rule and use practical tools that are designed to support the stage of life I’m in: peri/menopause. I want you to know it’s possible to integrate your story into your health in a positive way.
It’s possible to come back into balance, live a full and happy life and get off the rollercoaster so you can live a life that’s more harmonious and graceful.

Such helpful information. Thank you! Right now the greatest, most frustrating challenge is how frequently I am battling UTIs. I am 48, active, and eat pretty clean. I have avoided antibiotics pretty successfully for decades, but this reoccurrence is getting more and more difficult to manage w naturally. Can you offer any suggestions?
