My Story ...

Hello! I’m Peggy, a 27 year old woman from Australia and I'm here help women find natural solutions to hair thinning and hair loss.

​

I have experienced female hair loss on and off since I was 13 years of age. 

 

As a child my hair was long and thick often hanging passed my shoulders. I’d wear it long, put it up in a pony tail, cut it short and then grew it out again. It never occurred to me that its ease could be so temporary. And then I hit puberty, a little earlier than my peers, and along with its changes to my body my hair began to fall. 

 

I don't remember the exact moment it started, but instead I began to notice it everywhere, on my pillow, down the back of my school jacket, all over my body after a shower and clumps in my hairbrush. 

 

My mother was the first to notice. Carefully choosing her words as she explained to me how the same thing had happened to her when she was 13 years old. How over her life she had tried lots of different treatments but that it had been particular supplements and natural treatments that had stopped her hair loss. 

 

And so my journey began, initially with my mothers guidance and then as I got older it became a joint endevour as we researched and found solutions together. 

 

Over the years I would find a supplement or treatment that would regrow my hair for 1-3 years, before it would begin to fall out again with little warning. Sometimes my hair would only thin a little at the crown and temples, before we found the next successful treatment, while other times I lost up to 60% of my hair. 

 

Each time my hair thinned, I felt its impacts. The devastation, heartbreak and fear that came with being a young woman in a world where hair is so closely tied to identity, confidence and femininity. As well as the knowledge that with hair loss, there was a time limit on how long I had to fix this. 

 

While I consulted with conventional doctors in the hope of finding a cause and treatment, I quickly learnt that for me pharmaceutical medications did not work and the side effects became too invasive. This forced me to find natural treatments that worked with my body and addressed underlying issues. 

 

Through years of trial (and sometimes error), extensive research and consulting with medical practitioners with both conventional and natural expertise, I have compiled powerful information that has lead to long lasting hair growth for my self, my mother and others. I learnt how to correctly test to uncover the unique causes of hair loss such as; key mineral deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and toxic overload within the body. As well as addressing these through specific supplementation, natural therapies, diet and other holistic lifestyle changes.

 

This journey inspired me to create Hair Healing. A space dedicated to help other women understand the deeper reasons behind hair loss and to explore natural, evidenced based methods that resolve hair loss and lead to long lasting hair growth. 

 

Hair loss can be an isolating, daunting experience. Therefore, I want this site to provide other women with solidarity, support and encouragement. A space where we can all continue to learn (and grow!) together. So please reach out, ask questions, tell me your story and connect with me on socials. 

 

Thanks for visiting!
