Better sleep. More energy. More like yourself again.

Herbal and lifestyle support for women navigating perimenopause and midlife — without turning your health into another full-time job.


If your sleep has changed, your energy has disappeared, or you simply don’t feel quite like yourself anymore, you don’t need another overwhelming list of things to fix.

You need a clearer place to start.

YOU’VE PROBABLY TRIED TO HELP YOURSELF ALREADY.

Maybe you’ve changed what you eat, taken supplements, tried herbs, worked on your sleep, exercised more, cut back on caffeine or tried to manage your stress.

Some of it may even have helped.

But you’re still exhausted more often than you think you should be.

Your sleep isn’t what it used to be.

Your energy feels unpredictable.

You might be dealing with brain fog, mood changes, feeling wired or overwhelmed — or simply thinking:

“I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”

And when every symptom seems to come with a different piece of advice, it’s hard to know what actually deserves your attention first.

You don’t necessarily need to do more. You need a clearer way to work out what matters for you.

That’s how I approach women’s health at Herbedies: looking at the bigger picture, identifying priorities and using herbal, nutritional and lifestyle support with a clear purpose.

Less guesswork. Clearer priorities. Support that makes sense for you.

  • PERSONALISED, NOT GENERIC

    Your symptoms don’t exist in isolation. Your sleep, energy, mood, stress, nutrition, health history and changing midlife needs can all be part of the picture.

    The right starting point depends on you — not a generic perimenopause checklist.

  • BOTANICAL SUPPORT WITH A PURPOSE

    Herbs can be incredibly valuable — when they’re chosen for the right reason.

    I use botanical support purposefully, considering what you’re experiencing, what you’re trying to support and how different herbs may fit into the bigger picture.

  • SLEEP, ENERGY & MIDLIFE WELLBEING

    From broken sleep and exhausted mornings to brain fog, changing energy, mood and feeling overwhelmed, I focus on the changes that can make everyday life in midlife feel harder than it used to.

    The goal isn’t a perfect routine. It’s helping you feel better without making your health another full-time job.

REAL WOMEN. REAL PROGRESS. WHAT CAN CHANGE WHEN YOU STOP TRYING TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT ALONE

  • Samantha, 48, UK ★★★★★


    “My sleep has gone from around 3/10 to 8/10. I’m sleeping so much better, my anxiety has reduced and I’m having fewer hot flushes too. I finally feel like things are moving in the right direction.”

  • Ellie, 45, USA ★★★★★


    “I’m sleeping so much better now. Most nights I only wake once briefly and can get back to sleep, and I’ve noticed I feel much less anxious during the day too. It’s made such a difference to how I feel overall.”

  • Erin, 46, Canada ★★★★★


    “Nobody has ever been so thorough. For the first time I felt like someone was actually looking at the whole picture rather than just one symptom. Having a plan that was specific to me made everything feel so much less overwhelming.”

PERSONALISED 1:1 SUPPORT

WHEN YOU’RE TIRED OF TRYING TO PIECE IT ALL TOGETHER YOURSELF

Maybe it isn’t just one thing.

Your sleep has changed. Your energy is unpredictable. You’re more easily overwhelmed. Your mood feels different. Your digestion may have changed. You might have blood results you don’t fully understand — or symptoms that don’t seem to fit neatly into one box.

That’s exactly why I don’t start with a generic perimenopause protocol.

In 1:1 work, I look at the bigger picture — your symptoms, health history, sleep, energy, nutrition, stress, lifestyle, current medications and supplements, and what you’ve already tried.

Then we work out what deserves attention first and build a practical herbal, nutritional and lifestyle plan around you.

So instead of leaving with more things to try, you leave knowing what you’re focusing on — and why.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Aleksandra Ostrowska-Wiwer.

Biologist · Herbalist · Naturopath · Menopause Coach

I created Herbedies because I believe women in midlife deserve better than being told that everything they’re experiencing is “just hormones” — or being given another generic list of things to try.

My background in biology, herbal medicine and naturopathy shapes the way I work: curious, evidence-informed and always individual.

I don’t look at sleep, energy, mood, digestion, stress and other changes in isolation. I look at how the pieces may connect, what deserves attention first, and where herbal, nutritional and lifestyle support may genuinely have a role.

Because herbs can be incredibly valuable.

But good herbal support isn’t about finding a herb for every symptom. It’s about choosing the right support for the person in front of you.

That’s the approach behind everything I create at Herbedies — from personalised 1:1 work to the herbal blends and resources you’ll find here.

A few things you might be wondering

I’m not sure if what I’m experiencing is perimenopause. Can you still help me?

Yes. You don’t need to arrive with a diagnosis or already know what’s behind your symptoms.

Changes in sleep, energy, mood, concentration, periods and how you feel day to day can have more than one explanation. My approach is to look at the wider picture rather than automatically assuming that everything is hormonal.

If something you’re experiencing would be better assessed medically, I’ll be clear about that too.

I’ve already tried supplements, herbs and lifestyle changes. What would be different about working with you?

More isn’t always better — and trying several things at once can make it almost impossible to know what is actually helping.

I start by looking at your symptoms, patterns, health history, lifestyle, current medication and what you’ve already tried. From there, we identify the priorities and decide what makes sense for you, rather than adding another generic perimenopause protocol.

Herbs may be part of that. Sometimes they won’t be the first priority.

Can I work with you if I’m already using HRT or taking medication?

Yes. Many women come to me while already using HRT, medication or supplements.

I take these into account when considering what support may be appropriate, including potential herb–drug interactions and situations where botanical medicine may not be suitable.

Working with me doesn’t mean choosing between conventional medicine and herbal medicine. The aim is to use the right support in the right context.

I live outside the UK. Can I still work with you?

Yes. My 1:1 services are online, and my digital guides and resources can be accessed internationally.

So if you’re based in the USA, Canada, Europe or elsewhere, you can still access these parts of Herbedies.

My physical herbal blends are currently available for UK delivery only.

Do you ship Herbedies herbal blends outside the UK?

Not at the moment. Herbedies herbal blends are currently shipped within the UK only.

I formulate the blends myself with a specific purpose in mind, and you can explore the ingredients, intended use and important safety information on each individual product page.

If you’re outside the UK, my digital resources and online 1:1 support are still available internationally.
