Empowering women in their local communities:
Like many other women, I had no idea of the symptoms of menopause - or the impact they were having on my body. I simply put it down to getting older. And so I struggled on, feeling as though I was becoming less and that my body was failing me. After a number of conversations with friends, and attending a menopause workshop, I realised that I was actually menopausal.
My menopausal journey over the next few years consisted of reacting badly to HRT, no success with alternative remedies or acupuncture, feeling as though I was becoming less whilst my symptoms continued to worsen.
At this stage I was reading everything I could, listening to podcasts, and educating myself on anything to do with the menopause. This then led me to becoming an accredited menopause practitioner, alongside completing courses in menopause and nutrition and menopause and exercise. I have also recently become a certified menopause champion and now work in proud partnership with the Menopause expert group.
My own menopause story, the training I have undertaken, the lack of menopause provision within local communities, and the extremely positive feedback I received from the menopause workshops I created and delivered in 2023/24, has lead me to focusing the business on educating, equipping and empowering other women to take control of their menopause on their own individual terms. I am passionate about ensuring no woman faces their menopause journey alone, but has access to all the information and support they need to navigate their own individual journey.
If this resonates with you, then I am here to help.
