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 give you the space to properly join the dots between:
  • hormones
  • stress
  • nervous system overload
  • emotional exhaustion
  • over-responsibility
 
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 and feel about yourself day to day.
  • the stress your body may no longer tolerate
  • Where you may have become so used to pushing through that you no longer notice how much you ignore your own needs.
  • What support, boundaries or changes could help life feel more manageable again moving forward.
  •  
What’s Included
  • Pre-session ReSet questionnaire for you to complete
  • Confidential 75-minute private call
  • Personalised insight and supportive next steps
  • Space to pause and trust that what you’ve been feeling deserves your attention.
 
What You’ll Leave With
  • The relief of realising there’s a reason you’ve been feeling so unlike yourself lately
  • A clearer sense of what you need moving forward to manage your perimenopause and menopause, instead of trying to figure it out on your own
 
This Session Is For You If
You’re a woman in your 40s or 50s in perimenopause or menopause.
You don’t need to wait until things feel unbearable before you get support, and you don’t need to have it all figured out before you book, this is your space to do that. 
 
 
For organisations
If you’re here because this has been shared through your workplace, this session can form part of a wider approach to supporting women through menopause at work.

The Reset Program £750

A 6-week coaching programme for women who want their menopause to be a merry, not a miserable, experience.
 
Sometimes women leave a Menopause Clarity Session expecting answers.
Instead, they leave with relief, relief that there may actually be a reason things have felt harder lately.
 
OK… so what now?
 
Understanding what’s happening is one thing, creating a menopause experience that feels calmer, easier and more enjoyable to live through is something else.
 
That’s where Reset comes in. Reset can be booked as a standalone programme or as the natural next step after a Menopause Clarity Session.

 

This Is For You If…

  • Work suddenly feels more demanding than it used to
  • You’re second-guessing yourself in ways that feel unfamiliar
  • Life still looks “fine” but feels harder than it used to
  • You’ve started HRT or tried different approaches, but still don’t feel fully like yourself
  • You’re ready to stop just getting through menopause and start feeling better inside it
 

How Reset Works

We begin with a detailed questionnaire (unless you’ve had a Menopause Clarity Session, in which case we pick up where we left off and build from there).
 
We don’t just look at hormones, but at your life.
Work.
Relationships.
Stress.
Menstrual cycle
Nutrition and Movement
 
Then, across 6 × 50-minute coaching sessions, we explore:
  • What’s changed
  • What you need now and how to get better as you get older.

 

Included

  • ReSet reflection questionnaire
  • 6 × 50-minute coaching sessions
  • Online via Zoom
 
You do not need to have it all figured out before you begin, that’s what our time together is for.
 
For organisations
If you’re here because this has been shared through your workplace, this session can form part of a wider approach to supporting women through menopause at work.

“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."
