At some point, more information stops being helpful.

Most women I speak with aren’t looking for another protocol, another list, or another opinion to weigh up. They’re looking for clarity, a way to make sense of what’s happening in their own body, in their own context.

That’s what the Natural Menopause Mastery Course was built for.

Not to add more noise, but to help women understand patterns, priorities, and what matters now.

It’s a guided, steady process - not a quick fix, and not a checklist.

If you’ve reached the point where Google isn’t helping anymore, this might be the kind of support you’ve been looking for.

The amount of conflicting menopause advice available right now is overwhelming.

One approach promises balance. Another promises optimisation. Another insists you’re doing too much … or not enough.

From a clinical perspective, this confusion makes sense. Menopause isn’t a single problem to solve. It’s a transition that unfolds differently depending on health history, symptoms, stress load, and life context.

Protocols are built for groups.

Support needs to be built for individuals.

This is why clarity matters more than finding the “right” plan.

Some symptoms are easy to name. Others are harder to explain, or easier for others to dismiss.

Changes in mood, energy, sleep, or clarity don’t always show up on tests, but they still shape daily life.

This image was taken on the weekend, after a storm - a fallen flower among what’s been left behind.

Not everything that matters is obvious at first glance.

Sometimes symptoms don’t make sense on their own.

When we look at them in isolation, they can feel random or unrelated.

But when we step back and notice patterns, what appears together, what shifts at the same time, the body often becomes easier to understand.

Patterns tend to be more informative than individual symptoms.

Many women tell me they feel confused by how many different symptoms appear during perimenopause … and how disconnected these symptoms seem.

Sleep changes, anxiety, joint pain, fatigue, gut issues, brain fog…

They’re often treated as separate problems, but in the body, they’re rarely separate.

These symptoms are connected through shared systems; through hormones, the nervous system, inflammation, and stress physiology. When we understand those connections, the experience often becomes less frightening and more coherent.

This isn’t about fixing everything at once.

It’s about listening more carefully to what the body is asking for.

You’re not broken.

Your body is speaking in patterns.

Research is useful, but it doesn’t tell the whole story.

We all want clear, evidence-based answers, especially when we’re tired of guessing what might help with menopause symptoms.

A 2024 overview of existing studies looked at how physical activity and exercise affect menopausal symptoms. It found some evidence that yoga and, to a lesser extent, aerobic exercise, can be beneficial, but overall the evidence isn’t strong or consistent enough yet to confidently recommend one specific solution for everyone.

That’s because clinical research is designed to isolate variables and measure specific outcomes, which is important, but it often doesn’t capture the complexity of real lived experience. Things like personal history, overlapping symptoms, stress, sleep, lifestyle context and emotional impact aren’t easily measured in a research trial.

So yes, research can guide us, but it doesn’t replace good judgement, personalised support, and the wisdom of knowing your own body.

Your experience matters … and your approach should be informed and individualised.

One thing many women tell me they weren’t prepared for during menopause…

…it wasn’t just the physical symptoms.

It was the feeling of:

– not recognising their body anymore
– being told everything looked “normal”
– wondering if they were just meant to push through

For many women, the hardest part isn’t the symptom itself - it’s feeling dismissed, confused, or left to figure it out alone.

Menopause is often treated as something to endure, rather than a transition that deserves informed, compassionate support.

If you’ve ever felt like your experience didn’t quite fit the standard explanations, you’re not imagining it … and you’re certainly not alone.

Your symptoms don’t need to be extreme to be real.

And wanting clarity doesn’t mean you’re “overthinking.”

If you’re doing all the ‘right’ things but still don’t feel better, it’s not a personal failure.

Many women come to menopause feeling frustrated because they’re:

– eating well
– exercising regularly
– taking supplements
– following the advice they’ve been given

And yet… symptoms persist.

From a clinical perspective, this actually makes sense.

Menopause isn’t driven by a single hormone or a single system. It involves complex interactions between hormones, the nervous system, metabolism, stress physiology, sleep, and past health history.

So when advice is simplified to “just do X”, it often falls short - not because the woman hasn’t tried hard enough, but because her body needs a more individualised approach.

This is why evidence matters - but so does how that evidence is applied in real life.
If you’ve been feeling stuck despite your best efforts, know this:

Your experience is valid, and there are more nuanced ways to approach support.

2026 - what it looks like working with me now.

The last year brought a lot of change - moving my clinic entirely online, returning to study, and reshaping how I work around real life.

What has become clear is that my work requires a different pace.

This year, I’m focused on supporting women through the mental and physical transition of perimenopause and menopause - with more depth, more nervous system awareness, and more respect for the season we’re in.

I’m continuing to offer online consultations, and I’ve also created a course for women who don’t want one-on-one support, but do want clear, grounded guidance as they move through menopause.

My work this year will be quieter, slower, and more intentional - as I support women through this transition while navigating it myself.

2025 - another one of those years where I look back and wonder how I managed to fit it all in.

It’s been a full one. A big one. And while I won’t bore you with the details, the pace of the past few weeks has made something very clear to me: how valuable time has become.

For a long time, wealth was measured in money, status, or visibility. But increasingly, at least in the West, time feels like the real currency.

The ability to rest.
To think.
To spend time with family.
To choose how our days are shaped.

In a culture that glorifies busyness and productivity, having time now signals a different kind of wealth altogether.

And during these midlife / perimenopausal years, this awareness seems to sharpen even more. We begin to reflect on how time has been spent, where it’s been lost, and how intentionally we want to use what lies ahead.

Lately, this has been influencing how I work, what I say yes to, and how I show up - both personally and professionally.

I don’t have neat conclusions yet. Just a growing sense that time is not something to be filled, but something to be honoured.

As the year wraps up, I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you for your kindness and support this year.

I’ve had a few big changes - both personally and with Sundala - and I really appreciate your support along the way.

As you probably already know, I’ve been working on some bigger projects behind the scenes for the new year. I’ll share more when the time feels right.

What I want to take into 2026 is a slower, more intentional way of working - creating things that feel meaningful, considered, and truly supportive for the people they’re made for.

For now, I just want to wish you a peaceful Christmas and a gentle end to the year. Thank you for being here.

🧡 Leonie
