//ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Rocsi & I help women simplify healing their hormonal imbalances.

In my early twenties, I was diagnosed with an underactive autoimmune thyroid condition, a 16cm cyst on my left ovary, and a pituitary tumour. After years of learning, one too many courses & dozens of books & articles, I compacted the strategy that helped me heal into a simplified approach: nutrition at the core of healing & knowledge for sustainability.

Now I help dozens of women reclaim their health using my method. If you want my help or just want to learn more about my method, check out hormonED. PREMIUM: https://www.skool.com/hormoned-premium/about
