Do You go Back to Normal After Menopause?
For many women, menopause feels like being caught in a whirlwind of physical, emotional, and hormonal shifts. So it’s only natural to wonder: Once it’s over, do I go back to normal?

The short answer: not exactly—but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

What Even Is Normal?
"Normal" isn’t a fixed destination. It’s a moving target that reflects how you feel in your body, mind, and life at any given stage. Post menopause offers the opportunity to redefine what your version of normal looks and feels like, without trying to recreate a past chapter.

What Might Change After Menopause?
While hormone levels settle into a new rhythm post menopause, your body, energy, and priorities may shift in meaningful ways. Some women feel more grounded, clearer-headed, and motivated to reclaim control. Others notice lingering challenges that need new tools and support.

Common physical and emotional changes in post menopause:
  • Improved clarity or mental focus as hormone fluctuations ease
  • Changes in body composition—weight, muscle tone, or metabolism
  • Greater emotional stability, with less frequent mood swings
  • Reassessment of identity and purpose—“What do I want for myself now?”
Yes—Many Women Feel Better After Menopause
One of the most overlooked truths? It’s entirely possible to feel stronger, clearer, and more confident post menopause than ever before. With the right support, many women report:
  • More consistent energy
  • Renewed drive and creative focus
  • Deepened self-awareness and resilience
  • A desire to set boundaries and prioritise themselves
This isn’t about “going back.” It’s about moving forward—intentionally.

Let’s Redefine Normal—Together
What if post menopause didn’t mean going back, but going deeper into who you are?

One woman shared:
"After menopause, I still felt the stress of working, looking after kids and parents—with fluctuating hormones affecting my mood and ability to cope. It took a while, and the change was so gradual I hardly noticed... but I can honestly say I feel more like me again now."
This is the quiet transformation so many women experience—not overnight, not all at once—but through small shifts, new insights, and a reclaiming of self.

Let’s normalise that story: the one where post menopause doesn’t mean returning to an old version of yourself—but discovering a steadier, wiser one.

Supporting Your New Normal
Thriving post menopause requires nourishment—body, mind, and lifestyle. Consider:
  • Adrenal and thyroid support to sustain energy and mental clarity
  • Stable blood sugar and gut health to reduce inflammation and mood dips
  • Space to reflect on the emotional journey and what’s next for you
  • Testing—not guessing—so you’re tailoring choices to your needs now, not who you were 10 years ago
Whether you’re navigating this phase naturally, using HRT, or feeling unsure where you stand, this is your invitation to explore your next chapter with curiosity, not comparison.

Meet Jo

For over 40 years, I’ve been helping people like you take charge of their health with a calm, caring, and supportive approach. Clients (and friends) often say I’m a great listener and highly knowledgeable — qualities I bring to every session to ensure you feel understood, empowered, and on the right path to feeling better.

My passion for wellness started young. When I was 9, my mum was diagnosed with bladder cancer, which shaped my understanding of how deeply health challenges affect not just the individual but their entire family. Watching her recover through a long journey — navigating major surgery, menopause, and a stoma — taught me how important it is to support the whole person: body, mind, and emotions.

This experience has fuelled my lifelong mission to uncover what keeps us feeling our best. 

Working with me means learning how to:
  • Balance your blood sugars with nourishing foods tailored to your needs.
  • Reduce stressors — from food intolerances to emotional triggers.
  • Support your hormones, including those that regulate energy, mood, and digestion.
  • Improve gut health and build a thriving microbiome.
  • Strengthen your immune system for resilience.
  • Prioritize rest and relaxation for better energy and well-being.
Why Work with Me?
I understand how overwhelming health struggles can feel. Whether you’re navigating hormonal changes, dealing with persistent pain, or feeling like nothing is working, I’ll provide natural, practical solutions tailored to you. My approach isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about finding lasting answers and helping you build them into daily life.

My process also complements medical treatments, giving you tools and strategies to feel empowered while supporting your body’s natural healing ability.

What you need to know
I’m not just a therapist, I’m a listener, a teacher, and someone who’s walked alongside many clients on their health journeys. I believe in combining the best of science and holistic practices to help you feel your best.

On a personal note, I’m a wife, a mother to 2 beautiful girls, and a proud pet parent to Kiko the cat and Maisie the dog. Just like you, I know how busy life can get, which is why I’m here to make taking care of your health feel achievable and rewarding.
