Trauma has a way of lingering long after the event itself has passed. It can quietly shape how we see ourselves, how we trust others, and how we respond to life’s challenges. Sometimes we don…

✨ Fitness during menopause isn’t about “bouncing back”—it’s about moving forward with strength, confidence, and support. 💪💕

Menopause can bring real challenges such as fatigue, anxiety, and joint pain, but movement can be a powerful tool for wellbeing. As a trained professional, I can help bridge the gap to better health. 🤝

As a certified Menopause Movement coach, I’m uniquely positioned to support women through this stage of life with understanding, knowledge, and compassion.

Here’s how I help women thrive through fitness:

🧠 Supporting them to understand their unique journey
💬 Creating safe, judgment-free environments
🏋️‍♀️ Prioritising how they feel rather than how they look
🌿 Adapting training with flexibility, empathy, and care
🤝 Building supportive and uplifting communities
📚 Sharing evidence-based knowledge that empowers

📊 Did you know?

🔹 Nearly 1 in 3 women stop exercising during menopause

🔹 60% of women aged 45–54 don’t meet strength-training guidelines

🔹 Campaigns like This Girl Can have helped 81% of women aged 41–60 feel more confident about becoming active

This is about more than fitness—it’s about empowerment, connection, and resilience.

💡 Let’s challenge the stigma and change the conversation. Menopause isn’t an ending; it’s the start of a powerful new chapter. 🌸

As a Menopause Movement coach, I lead with compassion, not pressure—focusing on progress over perfection and using fitness as a tool to empower, not intimidate, women in midlife and beyond.

Because movement is medicine. Community is healing. And together, we can make a difference.

This really made me smile, I just received this absolutely lovely review from a young girl who had counselling with me last year. 😊❤️

With Donna's help I was able to remove myself from a bad mental state, this state caused me to feel depressed and to constantly overthink and panic and worry about anything which was out of my character. It's been almost a year since my last session with Donna and I have found methods to calm myself down, to focus on myself, and to have proper communication with the people around me. With Donna's help and with the sessions I had I learned to identify my emotions and validate them accordingly and in doing so I found confidence to things I have always wanted to do. It has been almost a year since our last session and I feel just as refreshed and happy since then. It has made a lasting impact on my life and relationships and I now feel closer to those I love and more present in my own happiness.

During our sessions we would talk about my struggles and what I was feeling, as well as identifying reasons for what I do and how healthy it is, but I would also be allowed to rant and talk about all my interests and sometimes talk about my day if I wanted to. These conversations meant a lot to me because it would let me get out anything I couldn't say myself and now I can say everything myself as I was given the opportunity to before.

Today was a me time, other than trying to get housework done, I then felt the need to listen to music & draw. We have to sometimes give ourselves time, I've been very busy lately, and today I needed to give myself some self-care.

Thinking of this, I decided to draw something related, what are your thoughts?

The good thing about this drawing is that I am positive it will represent something different to you all. 😀
