Your Mindful Menopause
Menopause is a natural life chapter, it is also something that can happen due to medical treatments or surgeries, and while it's a journey unique to each of us, for some, it's one that can sometimes feel overwhelming. As a Mindful Menopause Practitioner I use an holistic Mind-Body approach to support those impacted by hormonal changes in their bodies during Peri-menopause, Menopause and Post- Menopause using Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness and creative work.
​
I'd like to share my approach to menopause wellness with you, one that encompasses not just the physical changes, but also the emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of this transformative phase and one where I help you not just manage any challenging symptoms but take an active, not passive, role in it. I can support you develop a plan for Your Menopause so you feel emotionally prepared, empowered, have clarity about how you will manage your wellbeing, your health priorities and make any lifestyle adjustments you need.
​
During menopause, our bodies navigate many significant changes, from hot flushes and night sweats to changes in weight and sleep patterns, changes in libido and discomfort. It's important to treat our bodies with kindness and prioritise self-care. Gentle exercises like yoga and walking can ease symptoms while promoting overall well-being. And let's not forget the power of nourishing our bodies with balanced nutrition and ensuring we get plenty of restful sleep.
​
​
It's important to care for our Emotional Well-Being, Menopause can sometimes feel like an emotional rollercoaster, with mood swings, irritability, and feelings of anxiety. Know that you're not alone in this journey. It's okay to take time for yourself and engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and deep breathing, can help calm the mind and soothe the body. And never underestimate the healing power of connecting with loved ones or seeking support from a trusted friend or therapist.
​
Building Psychological Resilience is key as we navigate the changes of menopause, it's a time when our confidence can really take a nose dive so it's essential to cultivate resilience and a positive mindset. Hypnotherapy and other mind-body techniques can be incredibly effective in helping us reframe our thoughts and beliefs, empowering us to face challenges with strength and grace. Remember, you're stronger and more resilient than you realise, and you have the inner resources to navigate this journey with confidence.
​
Menopause is not just a physical or emotional journey—it's also a spiritual one. Take time to connect with your self and your own inner wisdom and find moments of peace and reflection. Whether through journaling, meditation, or simply spending time in nature, nurturing your spiritual well-being can provide a sense of grounding, creativity and purpose during this time of transition.
​
Fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone levels during menopause can impact brain function and neurotransmitter activity. Some research suggests that for some, this hormonal shift can also open up new pathways in the brain, potentially enhancing creativity making Menopause a time of profound inspiration and artistic growth. Embracing and exploring this creativity can enrich your experience of the Menopause and contribute to your overall well-being and fulfillment.
​
Seek out support and connection, remember that you don't have to go through menopause alone. Reach out to friends, family, or a supportive community who understand what you're going through. Sharing your experiences and receiving empathy and encouragement can make all the difference in your journey.
​
Menopause is a liminal time, one of profound change and transformation—a journey that can be both challenging and incredibly empowering. By approaching menopause with compassion, self-care, and a holistic mindset, you can embrace this chapter of your life with grace and resilience. Remember, you're not just surviving menopause—you're thriving, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
​
I provide a safe, non-judgemental space that offers comprehensive support combining the therapeutic power of solution-focused Hypnotherapy techniques along with mindfulness, and creative practices to help you re-connect with yourself, manage challenging symptoms, break through self-limiting beliefs and create positive change so you flourish.
