Embrace Meno Balance Plan – Now Available

Most menopause programs focus on symptoms.
The Embrace Method focuses on the woman.

Your symptoms are not random.
They are biochemical signals — shaped by your gut, liver, thyroid, adrenals, nervous system, inflammatory load, nutrient status, blood sugar regulation, and the emotional weight your body has carried for years.

This is why no two women experience menopause the same way.
And this is why I don’t offer one-size-fits-all protocols.

The Embrace Meno Balance Plan is a bespoke, functional-medicine roadmap designed to reflect the unique biochemistry of your body.
It shows you where your symptoms are coming from, how your systems interconnect, and the specific steps needed to rebalance and stabilise your health.

You receive your own personalised “biochemistry map” — a clear, practical guide that outlines what your body needs, why it needs it, and how to move forward with confidence.

The Embrace Meno Balance Plan is currently on sale for a limited time.

If you’re ready for a whole-picture, root-cause approach to perimenopause and menopause, this program has been created for you.

When a woman decides she’s ready to rise again, the whole trajectory of her health begins to shift.

Some journeys are too powerful not to share — and Fotini’s is one of them…

Sharon has been an absolute Godsend in helping me get my health back on track after several years of post-menopausal weight gain, multiple surgeries, and pre-existing medical conditions.

Menopause hit me abruptly four years ago after I needed chemotherapy to quiet my immune system, which was attacking my kidneys. The hormonal storm that followed left me feeling and looking unwell. Because I can’t take hormone therapy due to my autoimmune condition, I began to feel hopeless, anxious, and disconnected from my sense of self-worth.

On top of that, I was overweight, on the verge of diabetes, had high cholesterol, and lived with constant fatigue. I felt stuck.

Five months of following Sharon’s advice has completely changed that. I am in a far better place—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Family, friends, and colleagues constantly comment on how healthy I look and how much more confident and energised I seem.

Sharon thoroughly reviewed every aspect of my health—my diet, medications, supplements, lifestyle, and blood test results. Implementing her recommendations wasn’t always easy, but it has been absolutely worth it. The results have been remarkable, and my headspace is the best it has been in years.

From our very first consultation, Sharon has consistently checked in and patiently answered every question, no matter how small or silly I felt it might be.

If you’re struggling to get out of a health rut and truly want to see meaningful change, I cannot recommend Sharon highly enough. She genuinely cares, guides without judgment, and treats every person as the unique individual they are.

When you’re ready to rise, the right guidance can change everything.

If Fotini’s journey speaks to you, know that your own healing is possible too — one clear, supported step at a time.

International Men’s Day 💙

Men matter. Their health matters. Their story matters.

But so many men push through exhaustion, stress, pressure and silent symptoms — until their body forces them to stop.

Today, we shine a light on the things men often carry alone:

• High cholesterol & blood pressure
• Stress, burnout & poor sleep
• Low energy, low mood, anxiety
• Diabetes risk & weight changes
• Andropause, low libido & s*xual health shifts
• Gut issues & detox overload
• Feeling flat but not knowing where to begin

None of this is weakness. These are signals.

And when men finally get the right support, the shift is powerful.

Introducing the Men’s Thrive Program

A personalised functional medicine pathway for men who want:
✔ better energy
✔ stronger metabolism
✔ clearer mood
✔ balanced hormones
✔ improved s*xual health
✔ better sleep
✔ long-term vitality

Your health deserves attention too.
If you’re ready — or if you love a man who needs this support — you can book a Men’s Thrive Discovery Session ($99) with me.

When men thrive, everyone around them does too.

After a jam packed couple of weeks in October celebrating Menopause Awareness Month, my cup is full. From delivering workplace menopause chats at lunchtime in Melbourne, to full presentations on everthing menopause in a good snap shot for workplaces, to the Celebrating Women's Expo in Sydney as the Menopause Expert.

The one message that's come back is that the stigma of menopause still lingers with women reluctant to discuss their suffering with their boss for fear of losing their job and quitting careers all together from sheer exhaustion.

Menopause is our business with over half of the worlds population entering menopause momentarily and 6000 women in the U.S daily entering the transition it needs to be acknowledged.

I am sure on all of my platforms in the work I do and the information I share I'm making a difference. To remove the taboo and fear around this empowering transition is extremely powerful to me. Even the shortest of conversations can have a remarkable impact. I'm leading the way in the path I walk.

Come talk to me.... this work I do is yours too.

Where Science Meets Soul & Healing Becomes Sacred 🌿🌿🌿

24/09/2025

Education is such a powerful tool when it comes to health and wellbeing, it’s empowering and it puts you in the front seat of your health.

I’m delighted to commence my Embrace Menopause work place coffee chats. As it’s important women’s business, it’s men’s business as well.

Did you know menopause affects
Relationships
Family dynamics
Careers
Mental Health
Communication breakdown
Overall wellbeing…..

I’m conducting free workplace chats that I consider as the menopause woven bag. A sacred container where all the threads of menopause — symptoms, wisdom, nourishment, resilience, science, and soul — are gathered, held, and carried together. I take a holistic step in providing the essence of what menopause is as a truly sacred and whole state of health in a supportive framework.

Did You Know Your Thyroid Whispers Before It Shouts?

Fatigue that doesn’t lift. Brain fog that clouds your days. Mood swings or hormone shifts that feel out of control. A metabolism that feels sluggish no matter what you do…

These are all gentle nudges that your thyroid may need a little more love.

Many of these symptoms can overlap with hormonal imbalances. That’s why it’s so important to zoom out and look at the full picture: thyroid, adrenals, and s*x hormones all dancing together.

What do you actually do if you suspect thyroid issues?

The truth is, standard bloodwork often only scratches the surface. In functional medicine, we go deeper than just TSH and T4. We explore the whole thyroid panel and consider autoimmune markers like Hashimoto’s, while also weaving in your story, lifestyle, and stress picture.

Healing often requires more than a prescription. It’s about balancing stress, nourishing your body with the right foods, supporting detox pathways, and replenishing key nutrients.

The key is: don’t ignore the whispers. With the right testing, guidance, and support, you can reclaim your energy, clarity, and flow.

If this resonates, know you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I offer a safe space to explore thyroid, hormones, and adrenal health with a root-cause approach.

🌿 Burnout: The Hidden Epidemic 🌿

Chronic burnout is no longer a whisper — it’s becoming an epidemic. Did you know that even 50% of practitioners are affected?

It doesn’t happen overnight. Burnout often begins as exhaustion, slips into persistent fatigue, and can eventually become chronic fatigue and deep burnout.

✨ Factors that can drive burnout:
▪️ Long COVID & post-viral syndromes
▪️ Fibromyalgia
▪️ Persistent viruses, pathogens & parasites
▪️ Trauma & unresolved stress
▪️ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
▪️ Chronic inflammation

✨ Gentle ways to begin healing:
🌿 Pause if you need to — don’t push past your body’s limit
🌿 Nourish your body & listen to your hunger cues
🌿 Rehydrate — water is medicine
🌿 Prioritise sleep & create calming rituals around it
🌿 Reduce stressors & practise daily nervous system resets
🌿 Step back from constant bad news & media
🌿 Ground yourself in nature & breath
🌿 Lean on herbs & adaptogens to gently restore balance

💫 Healing is not a race, nor a finish line. It’s a journey.

This is the heart of my work with the Embrace Method — where science meets soul, and healing becomes sacred. Together, we uncover the root cause of burnout and create a path back to vitality, peace, and alignment. 🌸

If you’re feeling the weight of burnout, know you’re not alone — and there is a way back to yourself. 💚

✨ If this resonates and you’d love personalised support, you’re welcome to book a Discovery Session with me here: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/groups/embracecalendars 💚

🌿 This Father’s Day… let’s talk about our men 🌿

I was deeply moved by research shared this week by Tim Hewson, who works in men’s health and wellbeing. The findings are confronting:

💔 Divorced men are almost three times more likely to die by su***de than married men.
💔 Young men under 34 who are separated face an eight-fold higher risk than their married peers.
💔 In most studies, the common thread was emotional suppression — the pressure to “hold it all in.”

This isn’t about weakness.
It’s about silence.
It’s about the cost of “suck it up.”

As a practitioner, I see the toll this takes. Relationship breakdown doesn’t just end a chapter — it can unravel identity, health, and hope.

This Father’s Day, may we:
✨ Shift the story from suck it up to speak up
✨ Honour vulnerability as strength
✨ Support our fathers, brothers, sons, and friends in real conversations
✨ Redefine masculinity as connection, presence, and care

Because our men deserve to live. To love. To heal.
And most of all — to know they are not alone. 💙

🌿 For those ready to take the next step, my Men’s Thrive Program offers holistic, root-cause support to help men reclaim their energy, health, and resilience.
