T H E R E W A S a time not that long ago when I couldn’t tell what my body was trying to say.
I’d come through years of IVF, a successful round followed by a pregnancy, then a surprise natural pregnancy…then straight back into work.
I told myself the exhaustion was normal. The brain fog? Probably stress. The restless nights? Just hormones settling down after birth.
Except they never really did.
My concentration was all over the place. My sleep felt broken. Stress was through the roof and I just didn’t feel like me anymore.
Looking back, I can see what was really happening.
My body was recalibrating.
What I’d thought was postnatal depletion and burnout was actually the early whisper of perimenopause.
And that whisper gets missed all the time.
By women. By doctors. By the system that tells us to just ‘cope’.
But when we pause (really pause) and begin to understand the hormonal, neurological and emotional layers of this transition, everything changes.
That’s exactly why I created perimenoPAUSE;
a restorative evening of facial massage, reflexology and gentle education designed to help you reconnect, rebalance and feel more like you again.

Because sometimes, the body isn’t asking you to push harder, it’s asking you to listen.
