Cheryl Penna - Naturopath & Herbal Medicine Practitioner
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
Welcome to Urban Sense, where I offer naturopathic care tailored specifically to women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond—those navigating the often confusing, overwhelming changes of perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause.
I’m Cheryl Penna, a degree-qualified Women’s Health Naturopath with over 20 years of experience helping women just like you. If you’re exhausted from being told “everything looks fine” when you feel far from it—know that you’re not imagining things, and you're not alone.
One minute you're fine, the next your drenched in sweat and wondering if everyone can tell. Sleep becomes elusive, and you're tired of feeling embarassed by your own body.
You used to power through your days, but now even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Coffee isn't cutting it anymore, and you're frustrated by how exhausted you feel.
You snap at loved ones, feel anxious about things that never bothered you, or find yourself crying for no reason. This is isn't who you are, but its who you're becoming.
The same healthy habits that used to work don't anymore. Your clothes don't fit, you avoid mirrors, and nothing you try seems to make a difference.
Dryness, sensitivity, breakouts where there were never before. Your skin care routine isn't working, and you're frustrated by this new reflection staring back at you.
"It's just your age," they say, or "try this pill." But you want answers, not band-aids. You want someone who understands that this isn't how you want to live.
I hear this a lot from my patients
I understand because I've heard these stories hundreds of times. More importantly, I've seen women transform their lives when they finally get the personalised, comprehensive care they deserve.
What your life could look like with the right support.
Sleeping through the night, feeling rested, and having the energy to enjoy your days instead of just surviving them.
Responding to stress with calm confidence, feeling like yourself again, and enjoying stable moods throughout your day.
Playing with grandchildren, pursuing hobbies, traveling, or simply having the stamina for your full, rich life.
Skin that glows, clothes that fit comfortably, and feeling confident in your own body at any age.
Personalised Medicine: Your genetics, lifestyle, and biochemistry are unique! Your treatment plan should be also. That's why I use gentic profiling and comprehensive testing to create protocols designed specifically for you.
Root Cause Focus: Instead of just managing symptoms, we identify and address underlying imbalances causing your issues - whether that's hormonal disruption, nutritional deficiencies, or toxic load.
Intergrated Experience: With qualifications in Naturopathy, Herbal Medicine, Functional Medicine, and specialised training in menopause and skin health, I can address your whole picture, not just pieces.
