7 Steps to Happy Hormones
A gentle 7 stage emotional wellbeing program for conquering the emotional and psychological effects of menopause for the overwhelmed corporate woman: regain confidence, energy and vitality to live a harmonious balanced life while reaching your true potential.
Who Am I?
I began to notice menopausal symptoms when I was 46 but in hindsight they began a lot earlier than this. As well as the physical symptoms there was the emotional and mental aspect. I started taking HRT but I still wasn’t sleeping. I was moody, short tempered and angry. I wasn’t able to cope at work as well as I used to and where I could normally juggle multiple things I found myself getting nervous and anxious. Then I started to doubt myself and I lost my confidence. I just didn’t recognise myself anymore and kept questioning what I have become. I was coping but only just and I’d work longer to keep up with the job I’d previously nailed. I couldn’t grasp things as well as I used to and one day it all became too much. I had a complete breakdown, I couldn’t leave the house because of how bad my mental health had become.
I had started to use alcohol as a means of blocking it all out and then one day I woke up with one hangover too many which was the turning point. I had to do something to get my life back on track.
I started to look at my lifestyle. I looked at every aspect of my life and made changes, 3 months later I went back to work. I got a promotion and I had the best year out of the 17 years I had been there. I had therapy, I hired a fitness coach and I did a fitness photo shoot for my 50th birthday and I took bold steps to completely change my career.
Menopause can stop us in our tracks, derail our lives and it doesn’t need to. I want women to see that this is manageable, it’s the beginning of a new chapter not the end. I want to help women flourish in spite of menopause and live the lives they dreamed of.

Here we’re going to look at the art of self care and how you can energise to get the most out of every day.
