Speaker:
Kirsty Smith, Natural Rays Wellbeing Consultancy
Kirsty from Natural Rays Wellbeing Consultancy is a Functional Medicine Health Coach specialising in hormone and gut health. She works with individuals and employers to support women and those who menstruate to better understand their hormones and how to work with them so that they can have consistent energy, better mood, less brain fog, and the enthusiasm to live the life they have worked so hard to create.
Kirsty re-trained as a Functional Medicine Health Coach after her own hormone health challenges including a thyroid disorder which brought with it a number of symptoms including fatigue, brain fog and low mood which impacted her ability to perform at work and subsequently meant she left her career working in the construction industry.
As someone who has overcome hormonal symptoms herself and helped hundreds of other women, Kirsty has unique insights into the challenges that women and those who menstruate face in the workplace and what successful supportive structures look like.
