Are you perimenopausal?

It might sound like a daft question. Surely you’d know if you were – I mean, wouldn’t it be obvious?

For many of us, it’s actually not that clear. Honestly, I sometimes forget I’m now fully in my midlife, no getting away from that fact. Inside I often still feel like that crazy, full of life 17 year old who was living life to the fullest; immature, irresponsible, uncertain — but having lots of fun along the way!

So when I started feeling a bit out of sorts in my mid forties*, that it might be related to the perimenopause wasn’t the first thing that occurred to me at all.

I speak to so many women who have reached that age and are feeling out of sorts too — but also don’t make that link to the perimenopause possibly being the cause.

You’re invited

We are inviting you to bring your own lunch as you know your own dietary requirements better than anyone else. Even more importantly, I do have an ingrained desire to ensure that no one ever leaves hungry! It would be my worst nightmare to feel that anyone had been disappointed in the amount or availability of a lunch that I had provided.

In the past this has meant that I have over-catered; and now with my increasing awareness of environmental issues I just can’t bear to waste any food.

So I am sure that you understand our motivation and appreciate our desire to go gently and respectfully in this world.

Winter Pause Day retreat !!

I’m so excited about our upcoming Winter Pause Retreat.

It’s going to be a special day of Pausing to reflect, replenish and nourish ourselves.

Women often forget to do these things, so we are providing the space you need to do just that, and some wonderful tools to carry you onwards through the winter, to help you cope with whatever challenges you are facing just now.

We will of course nourish you with some lovely refreshments throughout the day; but why are we not providing lunch I hear you ask? (Metaphorically speaking, of course!)

Should we all be on HRT?

It is great that there has been so much more information and discussion recently about the menopause. These really are conversations that we need to keep having.

HRT has been in the news recently, with suggestions that we should all be on it as soon as we hit our mid forties; but like with most things in my experience there isn’t an easy, one-size-fits-all answer.

Maybe you have tried HRT but found you didn’t get on with it.

Maybe you haven’t felt like you could get the help and information you needed, or perhaps you found that your GP wasn’t as knowledgeable, supportive and helpful as you would have liked.

Perhaps you’re still uncertain about the pros and cons of medication for what is, after all, a natural process of moving from one stage of life to another, just as we all did through puberty.

It is a very personal decision, that has to take into account your medical history, your symptoms and beliefs around health and medication.

Talking through your options in a safe space, feeling empowered to find out more information and ask the right questions, and learning powerful decision making tools to help choose the right options at the right times of you are all things I love to help women with!

Book your free Discovery Call, or book your place on our Winter Pause retreat to help make the right choices for you.

My Perimenopause – the start of my journey

Is it possible it’s menopause or peri menopause?

I speak to so many women who have reached that age and are feeling out of sorts too — but also don’t make that link to the perimenopause possibly being the cause.

Have you noticed any changes in yourself? Perhaps your loved ones are telling you that you are more ratty and irritable these days? Have you found yourself tearing up or bursting into tears at work? Maybe you haven’t been able to work out why you’re feeling like this, why you’re not getting on with your partner, why you’re feeling anxious and like you have lost confidence.

Once women recognise what is going on and get some support and help, it is very common to realise it has actually been going on for years. I can’t tell you how many women have said to me, ‘If only I’d realised, I would have done something earlier!’

Let’s talk now! Book your free Discovery Call with me, we can chat through what is going on for you and how I can help.
