What Are The Benefits of Menopause?
What You Gain When the Hormonal Storm Settles

Menopause gets a bad rap. It’s often painted as a slow fade—a loss of vitality, sexiness, sharpness, and joy.

But what if there’s more to the story?

What if, on the other side of fluctuating hormones, there’s a new kind of steadiness… one that gives you back you?
 
The Unexpected Upside of the Shift
Sure, there are challenges—and no one’s denying them. But once the hormonal rollercoaster slows, something remarkable can happen:
  • No more cycle chaos—no second-guessing moods, cravings, or energy dips
  • More stable energy—less mental noise, clearer priorities
  • Increased confidence and boundaries—a growing sense of what’s worth your time (and what’s not)
  • Deepened body awareness—you notice when things are off, and you trust your instinct to support them
  • Freedom to focus inward—less external giving, more intentional living
You’re no longer living for others in the same way. There’s space now—and space can be a beautiful thing. The Post Menopause Workbook helps you get clear on who you are and where you're headed.
 
I Don’t Want My Old Self Back—I Want This Version to Work for Me

The stories we’re sold about menopause are so often about loss. and for some there may need to be a grieving time. But many women—once they’ve had a chance to stabilise—tell me they feel stronger, clearer, and even more themselves than they did at 35.
It’s not about going backwards. It’s about going deeper.
 
But Here’s the Key: You Can’t Reap the Benefits if You’re Running on Empty
This next phase can be full of clarity and vitality. But it asks for a new kind of support—especially around stress and recovery.
  • Your hormones are no longer “covering” for stress the way they once did
  • Your body needs more bandwidth to restore and repair
  • Nervous system regulation becomes everything—for sleep, digestion, mood, and energy
  • Without it? You’re stuck in survival, even when your symptoms have calmed
 This is where true transformation begins—not in doing more, but in recovering well.

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.
