READ THIS FIRST
After studying 5 years to become a Chiropractor I was excited to start making a big difference in my patients lives, and on most days, it felt like this was happening. But I soon realised a startling trend, particularly in my female patients.
They would be experiencing symptoms that I was trained to refer out for. Things like;
Painful periods
Heavy or irregular periods
Missing periods
Hair falling out
Relentless fatigue
Overall body aches
Hot flashes
Or they were even experiencing symptoms that didn't necessarily warrant a referral, but I knew they weren't 'normal':
Dry skin
Difficulty losing weight
PMS
Hormonal migraines
Bloating
Anxiety
Low moods
They were often told one of two things;
"Your results are clear, there is nothing wrong with you"
"We don't know why you're experiencing this, but this medication can help take your symptoms away"
"The only option we have for you right now is 'X' medication or surgery"
I could see they had lost hope, thinking there was nothing they could do, hating their body for not feeling, looking or functioning how they wanted it to. Feeling like their body was the problem, not the solution.
SO I WENT ON ANOTHER 5 YEAR JOURNEY
Naively I figured maybe the medical doctors in my small town didn't know enough. So I went on and studied a dual Masters in Women's Health Medicine and Reproductive Medicine. Still not feeling like I had the whole picture I then went on to study a degree in Functional Medicine. Finally investigating breathwork and neuro emotional technique.
What I have learnt from studying across the medical, functional and energetic health spaces is that women are struggling with these ailments for good reason.
Each type of healthcare has their own 'blindspots', often getting caught up in what they can offer and forgetting about the core function of a women's body. (If they're even taught about it in the first place)
So I created the Female Fundamentals to help women lost in the space between, and practitioners who feel lost when they're trying to help them.
It combines my 10 years worth of knowledge spanning across multiple health fields. Centring you on what a female body needs. How it changes, and what it's trying to tell you.
Best of all, you don't need to spend tens of thousands of dollars or another 10 years of your life investing in this knowledge.
Come and learn all of this amazing information, I'm bursting to share with you!
CORE FUNDAMENTALS
Practitioners trained in the Female Fundamentals fill the gaping whole in the healthcare system. They're fully equipped to feel confident in caring for the women 'lost in the space between.'

❝ The Core Fundamentals course proved to be an exceptional learning experience. Dr. Anthea's profound knowledge and her ability to provide comprehensive answers to various questions made the sessions truly valuable. Her engaging teaching style not only made the content accessible for medical professionals but also facilitated easy understanding for someone like me, a health and fertility coach without formal medical training.
Despite me developing my own understanding of women's health over the past few years, Dr. Anthea's course brought a new level of clarity. She skilfully delved into the 'why' behind every concept, enabling me to connect the dots in a way that hadn't happened before. The course not only enhanced my existing knowledge but also empowered me to ask crucial 'why' questions and analyse fundamentals more effectively.
The inclusion of support through the practitioner membership with Anthea was also invaluable. This platform provided us with the opportunity to seek clarification and gain insights directly from her, creating a personalised and interactive learning environment. While I eagerly consumed the content within the three-month timeframe, the resources and videos continue to be a constant reference for me.
I wholeheartedly recommend this course to any practitioner seeking to enhance their ability to support female clients through a solid understanding of fundamental principles. I found the experience so enriching that I would gladly take this course again and eagerly anticipate any future courses developed by Dr. Anthea. ❞
