This wealth of healthcare experience, knowledge and skills allows me to take a holistic and client-centred approach to support your health and wellbeing. My particular passion is to help empower you to make lifestyle changes for optimal health throughout your menopause.
I can’t diagnose medical conditions, prescribe or make changes to any prescribed medications. However, a diagnosis of the perimenopause or menopause is based on the menopause symptoms you are experiencing and does not normally require blood tests.
As a health coach, I can guide, educate, and support you holistically using lifestyle measures and make recommendations on medications (with medical approval), supplements and over the counter remedies. I can also refer you to (or work with your) healthcare professionals.
I am fully insured and bound by the code of ethics and regulations of the General Pharmaceutical Council and have seperate indemnity cover.
