Moving Through Menopause
The Peri to Post Menopause journey can happen naturally at anytime from mid 40’s onwards through to much later on, or earlier in case of forced Menopause such from hysterectomy. For some it can be quick and with relatively few symptoms whilst for others the change may me longer and more noticeable. It’s inevitable, there’s not much we can do about it but there is a lot to do to prepare for it, to help us through it, and help us to look after ourselves when we come out the other side.
We may feel differently physically, mentally and emotionally but many women already get that during their menstrual cycle so sort of the same but in a different format! For some the transition starts naturally whilst others may go into forced menopause following hysterectomy and similar surgeries. .
By looking at present lifestyle and how you are currently feeling, we can advise you on physical exercises/ movement, diet, pelvic floor/ core restore work, stress management strategies, and much more, so that wherever you are hormonally, you can feel your best both physically and mentally. More importantly we will empower you to know how to continue that feeling and really look after you for the future.
