Maebl recently had the pleasure of chatting with Gemma McLeod, a degree-qualified naturopath who has a special interest in women’s health. With a holistic yet evidence-based approach, Gemma supports her clients in cultivating long-term wellbeing through nutrition, lifestyle strategies, targeted supplementation, and herbal medicine. Together, we glimpse into her daily practice, explore what motivates her, and, naturally, dive deep on the topic of the vaginal microbiome. 

When we think of self-care, we often picture skincare rituals, yoga classes, or taking time for rest. Intimate care, however, is rarely part of that conversation. For too long, it has been framed around hygiene, correction, or silence. But intimate wellbeing is not about being “clean enough.” It’s about comfort, confidence, and connection with your body.
