I spent more than 24 years in nursing, and I built that career around one thing: advocating for the people in my care. When I went through surgical menopause in 2017, I'd spent my career helping patients get answers, and I couldn't get them for myself.
I had severe symptoms and felt completely blindsided. It was only when I discovered body-identical hormone therapy that things began to shift. It made me determined that other women wouldn't have to navigate this alone.
Today I'm a Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist through Girls Gone Strong, with Confidence in Menopause certification through Dr Louise Newson at Newson Health. I help women finally understand what's happening in their bodies, with real answers, real options and no quick fixes.
I know what it feels like to wake up one day and wonder where the old “you” went. For years, I pushed through exhaustion, brain fog, and mood swings, thinking it was just part of getting older. But when I went through surgical menopause, everything changed. My body felt unfamiliar, and I realised how little support there was for women like me.
That experience became my turning point. I began learning about hormones, holistic health, and the power of truly understanding our bodies. Bit by bit, I restored my energy, rebuilt my confidence, and reconnected with myself.
Now, through A Refreshed & Restored Midlife, I bring together my personal experience and professional knowledge to help other women do the same. You are not broken, and you are not alone. Together, we’ll help you restore your balance and rediscover the woman you’ve always been.
Our mission at Midlife and Me, is to empower women to understand the physiological changes of midlife so you can make confident, informed decisions about your health and well-being. Our vision is a world where every woman feels supported, educated, and in control of her midlife journey, embracing this stage as a time of renewal, strength, and self-discovery.
