Welcome!
Do you live with problem periods? Are they heavy and debilitating? Perhaps they are absent or all over the place. Do you have facial hair or problem acne alongside erratic periods?
Or are you worried you may be heading towards menopause? If you are suffering with hot flushes, night sweats, poor sleep, itchy skin, low libido, anxiety, memory loss and forgetfulness or recurrent urinary infections (there are at least 34 symptoms that we know of so far so this is by no means an exhaustive list!) then you may be in perimenopause. This can be a lonely time where things are changing so much for us. It is good to be able to talk to someone who can really understand and help you through this confusing time!
I am a Menstrual Health / Menopause Coach and Menopause Wellness Practitioner based in Morecambe Bay, in the North West of England. My job is to provide a safe, confidential space where you can be really listened to and receive information and support, as well as having someone to be accountable to in order to keep you on your path to achieving your goals. I am a gentle, caring coach who will be your cheerleader throughout our journey together.
Menstrual health and Menopause wellbeing are very low on the agenda however it is something nearly half the population will deal with or go through. Some people breeze through these times with no problems however some really struggle with heavy periods, pain and other physical symptoms during menses (and sometimes throughout the month). Others have debilitating menopausal symptoms, all of which impact on their lives enough to interfere with day to day living. Some even have to give up work due to symptoms of either menstrual health or menopause. Relationships can be affected, social lives are impacted and it can all feel, well, pretty crap really.
I am an honest, hardworking and reliable coach and my passion is enabling women to live their life to the fullest and improving quality of life when living with menstrual or perimenopausal / menopausal issues. I am lucky enough to work across the Morecambe Bay area but also work internationally via Zoom. I have worked as the North West Regional Development Officer for Endometriosis UK setting up several support groups in the NW area including running the Manchester Group for over 4 years. I have also worked as an End of Life Care Officer for the NHS. I am NHS Health Coach trained and recently qualified as a Menopause Wellness Practitioner.
