Are you a woman in your 30s, 40s or 50s & noticing your body changing?


Menopause & perimenopause consults

Hot flushes, night sweats, and periods changing are what we typically associate with menopause. Yet symptoms such as brain fog, mood swings, palpitations, poor sleep and stubborn weight gain can all also be linked to hormone changes – often years before periods stop! 

Perimenopause and menopause can be times of huge transition, but they can equally be times you also thrive with the right approach.
I offer holistic in-depth menopause consultations, to help you reclaim your health and wellbeing again.
Listen to your symptoms & concerns
Explore the role nutrition & other factors may be having
Take a comprehensive look at your current health
Understand risk factors for future health issues
Simple, practical strategies, support, and coaching, with targeted supplementation if needed
