Lacking motivation to create lifestyle changes, that you know would help improve your wellbeing? As mentally you're so low and overwhelmed, you just want to withdraw and crave time alone time. You may also feel empty, numb and apathetic.
-
Always saying yes to others, even when it means a no to your needs? You identify as a people pleaser, as you don't like to say no as you worry what people will think of you. So you don't get round to doing the things you need to for yourself, often feeling frustrated with others and yourself.

What to expect as part of the membership
Hi, I'm Clare
Your Menopause Coach & Guide, here to support you through your menopausal transition.
I reached menopause at 45, but it wasn't until years later that I found out I had been perimenopausal for the 10 years prior - because at the time I didn't even know what perimenopause was! I was just told by my Mum I was going through "the change" as I started to get hot flushes and irregular and heavy periods.
It wasn't until I became a life coach specialising in women's mental wellbeing, that I noticed the majority of my clients were going through their menopausal transition. So, I started to delve into researching the menopause and it became clear that I had experienced a lot more symptoms than I first thought, but then I also noticed the symptoms were the same as those associated with stress.
Then I found out that the stress hormone cortisol affects our sex hormones, particularly progesterone, which increases the likelihood and severity of perimenopause symptoms. Added to this, research showed a direct link between a woman's physical symptoms and her beliefs about the menopause. Meaning women who have more apprehension about the menopause tend to experience worse symptoms.
Which is why I decided to specialise in menopause coaching and guidance, to help redefine the menopause, as a threshold to a new liberating phase in a woman's life. To recognise it as a normal developmental stage of life, where we are called to let go of the ways of living we created when younger, that led us to suppress who we are, in order to fit in and please others. To lean into the existential wake up call which pushes you to step into the fullness of who you are. So I now help women to regain their sense of self and vitality, with coaching and guidance that helps them make the most of their life.
A need to change the current narrative around the menopause
Whilst the recent increased awareness in the media is enabling many women to speak up and not feel so alone. Plus, it's highlighting the urgent need for women's health to be taken more seriously, by the medical and scientific communities. I feel the overall narrative is disempowering due to the heavy focus on symptoms. Which is leading to a natural stage in a woman's life being medicalised and exploited commercially, as women seek help to raise awareness about their symptoms and treatment.
If I was a women approaching perimenopause today, the current narrative would leave me dreading this stage in my life. When in fact, not every woman has symptoms, and there is a lot we can do to prevent and reduce symptoms. We just need to be empowered by taking a more salutogenic approach, which is about focusing on how to create and maintain our health and wellbeing holistically. Rather than the pathogenic approach we are currently seeing, which is focused on the cause of illness and disease and prevention with medical intervention.
We get what we focus on in life, so we need to change our approach to focus on empowering women to understand how to create and maintain their health during their transition. Starting with addressing the levels of stress being experienced by women in their daily lives.
The power of a positive mindset is key
In her fantastic book The Menopause Brain, Dr Lisa Mosconi includes a whole chapter on the power of having a positive mindset. She states that "research shows there is a direct link between a woman's physical symptoms and her beliefs about menopause". Further explaining that "women who have more apprehension about menopause tend to experience worse symptoms."
As an accredited NLP Life Coach I know how the mind works and help my clients to understand who they are beyond their thoughts, Then they can start to rediscover who they truly are and what their needs are. This understanding enables them to change perspectives and move beyond habitual patterns of thinking. Leading them to reduce stress, regulate their emotions and feel self empowered to make positive lifestyle changes, improving their overall menopausal experience.
Redefining a more empowering approach
I'm passionate about contributing towards the movement to redefine a new more empowering approach to the menopausal transition. There is meaning and purpose in this transition and now is the time to ensure the menopause is positively embraced for future generations of women.
