MY MENOPAUSE STORY
Menopause took me by surprise in my early 40s, and like many women, I felt overwhelmed. I started to experience weight gain around my middle, joint pain, rage, anxiety and poor sleep. I felt frequently tearful, had no emotional resilience, and even thought I might be suffering from depression. I just didn’t feel like myself anymore but was blaming my feelings and symptoms on the general stress of family life and raising teenagers.
Thankfully, I had an understanding GP who suggested I was going through menopause and prescribed HRT, but I soon realised that HRT alone wasn’t enough. I needed to take charge of my health in a way that worked for me.
Through taking a food first approach, finding exercise that felt fun and enjoyable, prioritising sleep and self-care, and shifting my mindset, I started to feel like myself again. No more rollercoaster. With the right foundations in place, I was able to thrive, not just get through each day, and my relationships with family improved too. Change didn't happen overnight but gradually I felt calmer, less anxious, lighter (in all ways!), more energetic and more like me again. I rediscovered my joy and mojo. Doing this alone though was hard and long, and boy do I wish I'd had someone who had understood and had helped me at the time.
That is why I do what I do
My personal experience fuelled my passion to support other women through this transition. I know how frustrating it is to feel hijacked by hormones and out of control.
That’s why I became a certified nutrition and menopause coach—to help you rebuild the foundations of good health, with good nutrition at the core, and understand how to support your body through these hormonal changes.
Every woman goes through menopause, but you don’t have to just get through it. You deserve to feel good, to feel strong, and to feel like yourself again. And I’m here to listen, guide and support you to make that happen.
