I am a dedicated Menopause Coach with over 30 years of nursing experience, including 20 years working in Intensive Care, where I developed a deep understanding of complex health needs and compassionate patient support. Alongside my professional career, I am a mother of five, which has further shaped my empathetic and holistic approach to care.
I hold a Menopause Coaching Certificate from The Efficient Coach and am a graduate of the Alison Empowering Yourself Institute, where I completed comprehensive training in menopause coaching and empowering women. My commitment to excellence has been recognised through receiving a Daisy Worldwide Award, and I have also completed a Master Level Professional Nurse Advocate course. I own a diploma in menopause care through the menopause society and have done many develop webinars, conferences and learning bursts all relevant to menopause care and compassion to woman struggling in this new world of the change.
In addition, I have undertaken professional leadership training course x 3 at Leeds University,and Leeds teaching Hospitals strengthening my ability to guide, support, and empower others. I now provide personalised 1:1 menopause coaching, offering non-clinical, supportive guidance to help women navigate this stage of life with confidence, clarity, and balance. I am currently on a pathway of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy which hopefully will be completed soon.
I also have my own indemnity insurance through the Royal college of nursing.
I'm not just a Menopause Coach — I’m a woman who has lived it.
After 30 years as a nurse, including 20 years in Intensive Care, I thought I understood the body. But nothing quite prepared me for my own menopause journey. Like so many women, I found myself feeling anxious, exhausted, forgetful, and completely unlike myself. The brain fog, the strange aches and pains, the overwhelming fatigue — at times, I genuinely questioned if something was seriously wrong. I had lost myself, my self worth and felt like my soul had completely destroyed.
What I discovered is what so many women are only just beginning to hear: Menopause can affect every part of your body and mind. Yet, there remains a huge gap in support. Too often, women are led to believe that HRT is the only answer, without fully understanding what’s happening to them or exploring other ways to feel better and regain control.
I became a Menopause Coach because I didn’t want other women to feel lost, dismissed, or alone like I once did.
Now, I combine my decades of clinical experience with specialist menopause training and my own lived experience to support women in a way that is real, honest, and empowering. I help you understand your symptoms — whether that’s anxiety, low mood, brain fog, pins and needles, or that overwhelming sense that you’re “not yourself” — and guide you through practical, supportive strategies to feel more like you again.
This isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s about you — being heard, understood, and supported.
Through 1:1 coaching, I offer a safe space where you can make sense of what’s happening to your body, regain confidence, and move through menopause feeling stronger, calmer, and in control.
You are not going mad. You are not alone. And you don’t have to just “put up with it.”
There is another way — and I’m here to help you find it.
Please note: As a menopause coach, I do not diagnose medical conditions or replace medical advice. My role is to support, guide, and empower you throughout your menopause journey. I always encourage working alongside your GP or healthcare professional where needed.
