Too many women walk away from healthcare appointments feeling unheard.

Not just in menopause—but across midwifery and gynaecology too.

You know your body.
You know when something isn’t right.
And you deserve to be listened to.

Perimenopause can bring a wave of symptoms—brain fog, low energy, overwhelm—and yet so many women are told:
“you’re too young”
“it’s just stress”
“maybe you need antidepressants”

It’s frustrating.
It’s disheartening.
And it shouldn’t be happening.

At The Coastal Women’s Clinic, listening is where we start.

Because sometimes, the most powerful thing we can offer is simple:
✨ to hear you
✨ to validate your experience
✨ to reassure you that what you’re going through is real—and often completely normal
✨ and to guide you through your options with care and clarity

One of the things I hear most from women?
“Thank you for listening.”

You deserve that. Every time. 🤍

The Spring Equinox reminds us of balance — equal light and dark, a gentle invitation to realign ourselves 🌿✨

Yesterday, I took my own advice and created space for that balance. I spent a beautiful few hours sitting in a circle with other women.

We fed alpacas, then immersed ourselves in a peaceful sound bath outdoors, surrounded by nature. It was deeply calming, grounding, and exactly what I needed — a perfect way to welcome the new season.

Feeling grateful 💛
Thank you

Working from home today in my Clinical Educator role, teaching healthcare professionals about HRT prescribing with The Menopause Course.

I’m passionate about providing menopause education for health professionals, because when clinicians feel confident and well-informed, women receive the care, support and treatment they deserve.

Better education → better conversations → better menopause care. 💜

6 months of The Coastal Women’s Clinic 💙

It’s been 6 months since I opened the doors to The Coastal Women’s Clinic, and I realised many of you who follow along here don’t actually know the face behind it.

So here’s a little introduction 👋
I started this clinic with one goal: to create a space where women feel heard, supported and cared for.

Thank you to every woman who has trusted me with her health so far. Your support means everything, and we’re only just getting started. -hypnotherapy

March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 💛

Ovarian cancer often causes symptoms that can feel similar to common, non-cancerous conditions - which can make it difficult to diagnose early. Knowing the signs and listening to your body is so important.

Common symptoms include:
• Persistent pain in the lower tummy or pelvis
• Long-lasting abdominal bloating or swelling
• Loss of appetite
• Feeling full quickly after eating
• Back pain
• Needing to urinate more frequently or urgently

Less common symptoms may include:
• Changes in bowel habits (diarrhoea or constipation)
• Unexplained weight loss
• Ongoing fatigue
• Vaginal bleeding after the menopause

If you experience any of these symptoms regularly, don’t ignore them - speak to your GP or healthcare professional.

Early conversations can save lives. 💛

Very excited to host the first in a series of Mindful Menopause Retreat Days in collaboration with Katy of Kintsugi Hypnotherapy, in the surroundings of the beautiful Aubourn Estate in Lincolnshire. All the details are on the website, a combination clinical and holistic expertise to help you navigate midlife with calm confidence 🤍

You deserve a moment. You deserve to understand. ✨

The menopause transition can often feel like a whirlwind of confusion, but it is also a powerful time to pause and reconnect with yourself. We are delighted to invite you to a Mindful Menopause Retreat Day, a unique, women’s-only retreat at the historic Aubourn Hall on Saturday, 18th April.

We want every woman to know this space is for them—whether you are navigating perimenopause (which can begin up to a decade before your periods stop), experiencing natural menopause, or managing induced menopause due to surgery or medical treatment. Whether you are in your late 30s or your 50s, if you are feeling the shift, this day is designed for you.

In the quiet elegance of Aubourn Hall, specialists Katy Hendry (Kintsugi Hypnotherapy) and Claire Barron (The Coastal Women’s Clinic) will help you demystify your symptoms and replace uncertainty with peace.

This day is an invitation to:
• Demystify the Science: Gain evidence-based clinical insights into your hormones and the mind-body connection.
• Find Your Calm: Learn practical tools like Menopause CBT and Mindful Hypnosis to manage anxiety and sleep.
• Invest in Your Future: Take essential time for yourself in a safe, private sanctuary.
• Be Nourished: Enjoy a hormone-supportive lunch and snacks designed for stable energy and mood.
Taking this day for yourself isn't just a luxury, it’s an investment in the woman you are becoming.

💖 February is Heart Awareness Month 💖

Did you know the biggest cause of death in women is heart disease?
Women are six times more likely to die from heart and circulatory disease than from breast cancer.

✨ Menopause matters for heart health.
Oestrogen plays a protective role in the cardiovascular system, and levels fall during menopause — increasing heart disease risk.

⚠️ High blood pressure is another major risk for women — and it’s often missed.
Symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, palpitations, fatigue, headaches, dizziness and insomnia can easily be mistaken for menopause symptoms.

🩺 That’s why regular blood pressure checks and proper assessment of symptoms are so important.
Looking after your heart is a vital part of menopause care.

📍 If you have concerns or want to prioritise your heart health, I’m here to help.
