When Rebecca came to our clinic, she was 52 and exhausted. Her periods had stopped, but instead of relief, new symptoms had taken over: Hot flushes and night sweats , Broken sleep, Joint aches, Low mood and irritability, Loss of confidence

She had tried to cope alone — for years. Menopause is not just about periods stopping. It’s a significant hormonal transition that affects: wellbeing

After a detailed consultation, we discussed menopause-specific care options, including: Lifestyle and nutritional strategies, Symptom management, Non-hormonal and hormonal options where appropriate. Rebecca finally felt informed — not rushed, not dismissed.

Over time: Her sleep improved, Her hot flushes reduced, Her energy returned, She felt confident in her body again. At review, she said: “I wish I’d spoken to someone sooner. I didn’t realise help was available.”

Menopause is not the end of vitality. With the right support, women can feel strong, confident, and well in this next chapter of life.

If you’re experiencing:
• Hot flushes or night sweats • Poor sleep or fatigue • Joint pain, low mood, or brain fog
• Loss of confidence or wellbeing • Or you’ve been “putting up with it” for too long

👉 Book a Menopause Consultation today New patients welcome!
Menopause support is healthcare — not a luxury.
