How can working with a Menopause Coach
help you to have
a Merry Menopause?

As a Menopause Coach I support those who menstruate to integrate their Menopause into all aspects of their life for more balance, better wellbeing and ultimately a Merry, not a miserable Menopause. Together we unpick your hormones and your symptoms, your stress and lifestyle factors so that you can make sense of how you are feeling, be kinder to yourself, build resilience and keep on living fully through your Menopause transition.

Menopause Now

Menopause today is so very different for our generation than it was for our mother’s and our grandmothers and their mothers and grandmothers.  

Biologically it’s the same – our ovarian function depletes, this impacts the production of the sex hormones, oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and once our monthly cycle stops we go on to adapt and live with a long term hormone deficiency – but what HAS changed is the way that we live our everyday lives, our lifestyle has  changed dramatically. For many people the years between Perimenopause and Post Menopause – roughly 40 – 55 are busy, demanding and challenging. 

Menopause is so very different for our generation, we are raising young children, running businesses, advancing in our careers, maintaining or questioning our relationships, raising children and looking after ageing parents. At the same time, our hormones are re-calibrating  and impacting our mental and physical wellbeing.

We are being pulled in all directions, our body is changing and for many, stress levels are high. This is the time of our lives when we truly need to support ourselves and to ask if we need help.

DON’T PRESS THE STOP BUTTON

Now is not the time to press  ‘stop’. If you do, it’s unlikely that you will press ‘play’ again.

 

If you feel that your life is unravelling due to hormones and external life pressures, ask for help, there is a way forward and with the right support you can manage your Menopause and integrate it into your life, easing stress and hormonal imbalance. 

Educate

Now is the time to educate yourself on what your body is doing and the changes that are occurring.

 

Menopause is a natural hormonal transition that every woman will experience. It is not an illness, it cannot be cured, but it can be managed. Menopause itself is one day, the last day of your last period which usually happens around the age of 51.

 

Your Perimenopause starts way before your periods stop in your late 30’s/early 40’s and can last 10+ years. For many women, it is the Perimenopause years that are the most symptomatic and therefore the hardest to manage.

 

The great thing about Menopause is that it makes us take a look at our lives. For many of us, our symptoms are a wake-up call to look at our lifestyle, our relationships, our careers and our stressors. Are we feeling happy?

Empower

At puberty, the beginning of our hormonal journey we transition from girl to woman, and at Menopause, the end of our hormonal journey it’s just as important that we give ourselves that same rite of passage.

 

That we acknowledge and say goodbye to the woman that has served us so well and step into the next powerful phase of our life prepared. We want to be mentally and physically fit and healthy and to move forward with clarity and assurance.

 

Your Menopause is so much more than any symptoms you may be experiencing, Menopause is a long term hormone deficiency, but it can also be a hugely empowering time of life, it is big, it is deep and it is complex.

support

As a Coach, I am an advocate of and accredited in Positive Psychology and NeuroScience and I help my clients to look at their Menopause differently.

We are not in denial about Menopause, we support it and build resilience to manage any symptoms that you may experience and also act on the insights and intuition that this hormonal change brings. For many women, the changes can be seismic leading to decisions around their career and relationships, dealing with the loss of parents or facing health issues.

This is the time to ask for support when making big changes, support to recover from the fallout and support to move forward. Together we can get the best out of your Menopause transition.

how do you want your future to look?

 

The average of Menopause, the last day of your last period is 51, and the average life expectancy is 81, that’s 30 years, a third of your life, living Post menopause without hormones.

 

So how do you want to look and feel in your 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s? You need to start thinking about that now and putting the protocols in place if you want to be healthy, sexual, happy and fulfilled for those Post Menopausal years.

Why work with me?

The Merry Menopause was birthed during my Perimenopause.  

I am 54, in my 3rd year of life Post Menopause. I managed my symptoms and life’s ups and downs. I’ve cared for and lost both my parents, left a relationship, embraced being single, dated and changed my career. 

I have built an Online Community, a Coaching and Education business and started a podcast. I have delivered masterclasses and workshops, helped corporates and small businesses with their Menopause awareness campaigns and Coached many people  to look at their Menopause differently and see the limitless opportunities that are available to them.

How did I do this? Because I became aware of the spikes and dips in my hormone levels and educated myself on the massive changes that my mind and my body were going through. I was able to track my cycle and predict and plan for the hormonal highs and lows both physically and mentally.

This helped me to be kinder to myself and others, and I stopped blaming my hormones and started working with them instead. 

I saw my Perimenopause as the time to change the patterns and behaviours that were holding me back.

By working with me, you are working with someone who is experiencing her Menopause journey and making the most of it. I have coached and supported many women to have a Merry, not a miserable Menopause and I can do the same for you too. 

Menopause Clarity Session £150

This is not another conversation about “managing symptoms.”

 

This is a confidential 75-minute coaching session designed to help you join the dots between hormones, stress, nervous system overload, emotional exhaustion and the frankly exhausting habit of carrying far more than your fair share.

 

Most women don’t arrive here because of a symptom, they arrive because life suddenly feels harder than it should and they’re starting to wonder why.

 

Using my ReSet framework, we’ll look at:

  • Why everyday life suddenly feels more mentally and emotionally demanding than it used to.
  • How hormonal changes can affect the way you think, feel and trust yourself day to day.
  • The stress your body may no longer be willing to tolerate quietly.
  • Where you’ve become so used to pushing through that you’ve stopped noticing what it’s costing you.
  • What support, boundaries or changes could help life feel more manageable moving forward.

 

What’s Included

  • Pre-session ReSet questionnaire
  • Confidential 75-minute private call
  • Personalised insight and supportive next steps
  • Space to stop brushing off what you’ve been feeling and give it the attention it deserves

 

What You’ll Leave With

  • The relief of realising there may actually be a reason you’ve been feeling so unlike yourself lately.
  • A clearer sense of what you need moving forward, instead of trying to figure it all out on your own.

 

This Session Is For You If

You’re a woman in your 40s or 50s navigating perimenopause or menopause and quietly wondering when everything started feeling quite so hard.

 

You don’t need to wait until you’re burnt out, overwhelmed or at breaking point before getting support.

 

And you definitely don’t need to have it all figured out before you book.

That’s what this session is for.

The Reset Program £750

A six-week coaching programme for women who are beginning to suspect that menopause isn’t the problem, but the way they’ve been living through it might be.

 

Most women don’t arrive here because menopause suddenly knocked them sideways. They arrive because life has become inexplicably harder and they’re struggling to work out whether it’s them, their hormones, their workload, their family responsibilities, their age, or some combination of all four.

 

When you’re still holding everything together, that’s part of the problem because nobody sees how much harder you’re having to work to do it. Not your colleagues, your family or sometimes not even you.

You tell yourself you’re tired because work is busy. You tell yourself you’re emotional because there’s a lot going on. You tell yourself your confidence has taken a wobble because everyone gets imposter syndrome sometimes. 

 

Then a few months pass, then another few months pass, and somewhere in the background sits a nagging feeling that you don’t quite feel like yourself anymore. Not dramatically, not enough to justify making a fuss, just enough to notice.

 

That’s usually the point women come to me.

 

Often they’ve already read the books, listened to the podcasts, spoken to friends, maybe started HRT, maybe changed their diet, maybe bought enough supplements to open a small pharmacy.They know more than they did six months ago but they still don’t feel particularly well. They’re looking for the thing that’s going to make it all click into place and instead they find themselves carrying around a growing collection of information they don’t quite know what to do with.

 

Understanding menopause and understanding yourself during menopause are two very different things.

 

That’s why I created ReSet.

 

Not as another menopause programme. Not as six weeks of symptom management. And definitely not as a place where somebody hands you a generic action plan and sends you on your way.

 

ReSet is where we take a proper look at the whole picture.

 

The hormones, yes, but also the stress you’ve normalised, the expectations you’ve carried for years and the habits that once served you brilliantly but now leave you exhausted. 

 

You’ve become so used to pushing through discomfort that you’ve stopped noticing how much you’re tolerating on a daily basis.

 

What I’ve noticed after years of working with women is that very few of them are struggling because they’re failing, most of them are struggling because the strategies they’ve relied on for decades have stopped working, and nobody has given them permission to do things differently.

 

They are still trying to operate with the same mindset, the same pace and the same expectations they had ten or twenty years ago, while their body is quietly asking for something else entirely.

 

That disconnect is exhausting, and no amount of powering through fixes it.

 

Over six weeks we’ll look at what’s changed, what’s no longer working, what’s asking for attention and, most importantly, what needs to happen for this next chapter of your life to feel better than the one you’re currently living.

 

Some of those conversations will be practical, some will be uncomfortable, and some will feel like a huge relief because you’ll finally stop blaming yourself for things that were never personal failings in the first place.

 

What I can tell you is this:

Nobody finishes ReSet with a perfect menopause, that’s not the goal.

They finish with a much better understanding of themselves, a clearer sense of what they need and a growing ability to trust themselves again instead of constantly wondering whether they’re getting it wrong.

 

What we’ll cover

We start with a detailed ReSet questionnaire so I can understand the full picture of what’s going on for you. If you’ve already completed a Menopause Clarity Session, we’ll build on that work rather than starting from scratch.

 

From there, we’ll meet for six one-to-one coaching sessions where we’ll explore the things that are affecting your experience of menopause, including work, stress, relationships, energy, movement, nutrition, identity, confidence and the sometimes uncomfortable reality that getting older requires a different relationship with ourselves than the one we’ve had up until now.

 

Included

  • ReSet reflection questionnaire
  • Six 50-minute coaching sessions
  • Online delivery via Zoom
  • Personalised support throughout the programme

 

Is ReSet for you?

If you’re looking for a miracle cure, probably not.

If you’re looking for somebody to tell you to think positively, definitely not.

If you’re quietly wondering why life feels harder than it should, why you’ve lost some of the certainty you used to have and why none of the advice you’ve collected seems to have solved the problem, then there’s a very good chance it is.

 

Sometimes the most powerful thing isn’t finding another solution, it’s finally understanding what’s really going on.

“I contacted Jo after years of suffering terribly due to a hormone imbalance. I thought I had read up on it and was doing everything I could do, but very quickly Jo identified some lifestyle and dietary changes I could make, and to my amazement, I saw an enormous difference within a week! It felt like a huge black cloud had been lifted from me. Things have continued to be significantly better and I am absolutely over the moon! Jo is extremely knowledgable and so compassionate. I can honestly say that following Jo's advice has changed my life, and I'm so grateful to her.“

"I first met Jo when she delivered a Menopause Awareness talk at my place of work. I stood at the back crying, everything Jo was saying was how I was feeling and what I was experiencing, I was struggling. I contacted Jo directly and committed to work with her on her ‘Re-Set’ programme. Jo helped me make sense of the way that I was and had been feeling. She talked me through how cycle tracking can help, I still have good days & bad days but I feel much more in control and I am kinder to myself on days that I know will be a struggle and I re-arrange important conversations to when I know I can smash it! I have taken back control of my Perimenopause. I can't recommend Jo and her programme highly enough."
