Is This You?

You may benefit from menopause support if you are experiencing:

• Hot flushes or night sweats
• Irregular or changing menstrual cycles
• Difficulty sleeping
• Mood changes, anxiety or irritability
• Brain fog or forgetfulness
• Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
• Fatigue or reduced energy
• Low libido
• Vaginal dryness or recurrent urinary discomfort
• Joint aches or muscle pain
• Palpitations
• Dry skin, hair thinning or brittle nails

Many women experience only a few symptoms, while others notice changes affecting almost every aspect of their daily life. You don’t have to simply “put up with it.”

Understanding Menopause and perimenopause

Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate. This stage may last several years before periods stop completely.

Menopause is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.

During this transition, changes in oestrogen, progesterone and other hormones can affect many systems throughout the body—not just your reproductive health.

These hormonal changes may influence:

• Sleep quality
• Mood and emotional wellbeing
• Energy production
• Bone health
• Heart health
• Brain function
• Muscle mass
• Weight regulation
• Gut health
• Immune function

Every woman’s experience is unique, which is why personalised care is so important.

My Approach to Menopause Care

There is no single treatment that suits every woman.

Your consultation is designed to understand your symptoms, health history, medications, pathology, lifestyle and personal goals before developing a treatment plan tailored specifically for you.

Your personalised plan may include:

Nutrition

Evidence-informed dietary advice to support healthy ageing, blood sugar regulation, bone health and overall wellbeing.

Lifestyle Strategies

Practical approaches to improve sleep, manage stress, increase energy and support long-term health.

Practitioner-Only Supplements

Where appropriate, supplements may be recommended to support nutritional status and help manage specific symptoms.

Herbal Medicine

When clinically appropriate, herbal medicines may be considered as part of an individualised treatment plan. Recommendations are based on your health history, medications and current evidence.

Collaborative Care

I work alongside your GP and specialists. If you’re using Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) or considering it, naturopathic care can complement your existing treatment plan.

Common Concerns I Support

Women commonly seek support for:

• Perimenopause
• Menopause
• Hot flushes
• Night sweats
• Poor sleep
• Mood changes
• Anxiety
• Weight management
• Fatigue
• Low libido
• Brain fog
• Bone health
• Healthy ageing

Functional Testing

Testing is only recommended when clinically appropriate and may include:

• Comprehensive pathology review
• Iron studies
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin B12 and folate
• Thyroid function tests
• Blood glucose and insulin markers
• Lipid profile
• Adrenal or cortisol testing where indicated
• Gut health investigations if digestive symptoms are present

If you’ve recently had blood tests through your GP, bring them along so we can review them together.

Nutrition & Lifestyle Support

Social media is full of advice telling women to avoid carbohydrates, fast, take dozens of supplements or follow restrictive diets during menopause.

The reality is that there is no one-size-fits-all menopause diet.

My focus is helping you build sustainable habits that support your health now and into the future.

This may include:

• Adequate protein intake to support muscle mass
• Fibre-rich foods for gut and heart health
• Calcium-rich foods for bone health
• Healthy fats including omega-3s
• Blood sugar balance
• Strength training and regular movement
• Stress management
• Sleep optimisation

Small, consistent changes often lead to the greatest long-term improvements.
