Would you like to learn more about the menopause and what to expect?
Do you need some ideas about how to support someone who is struggling with their menopause?
Have you got a team of people you could organise a menopause education session for?
I am a GP with an interest in women’s health and particularly menopause care.
I deliver menopause education talks covering all aspects of the menopause and perimenopause and how the symptoms can be alleviated through non hormonal methods and using HRT.
My main aim is to help women to be prepared for this stage of life and to equip them with knowledge to enable them to make good decisions as they navigate their menopause.
I also believe everybody needs to know this information whether we will or won’t experience menopause ourselves.
There is a lot of media attention on this topic and I am passionate to see people given good quality information about menopause to be able to get the help they need or to support others.
Please look through my website to see more of what I do and get in touch via the contacts page if you would like to discuss further.
“Thank you for inviting me to the Menopause and HRT session. It was positive and assuring for me, and answered lots of the questions I had. I feel a lot more confident with this stage of my life”
