I had noticed many years ago that stress in the moment seemed to bring on my hot flushes. If I felt embarrassed or ashamed, or anxious about something, I would get a hot flush.

 

Also, many of my clients are 40+ women & I was noticing that as past trauma was resolved, so the women were also reporting that their menopause symptoms were reducing. 

​

Curious, I delved deeper into why some women have no menopause symptoms, and others suffer greatly, I discovered something that really blew me away: There is a  body of scientific evidence showing that not only current, but also past trauma adversely effects the menopause experience. 

 

Coupled with the strong evidence from scientific research that Hypnotherapy is very effective at reducing menopause symptoms, including significant reduction in hot flushes, and the emotional symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, low mood, memory loss, concentration, confidence and sleep, I became excited at the prospect of being able to really help women live more fully & freely in this very natural and effective way, using Hypnotherapy. 

​

It's our Right!

 As my research expanded to include the experiences of Menopause from other cultures, especially indigenous cultures, another great discovery was found: I learned of the power of this rite of passage, and how women have been, and can become their best selves during this time when given the opportunity and guidance to do so. I am able to weave these in to Hypnotherapy in a creative and structured way that really works, for those that wish to.

​

I realised that a lot of my personal development had been awakened due to being in this passage of life.

 

I have completely changed my life during this passage, sharing a few personal things here:

I have gone from an abusive intimate relationship to one of respect and growth.

I have gone from living in a place that I didn’t feel I belonged to having a home that is my oasis.

My work has changed from a boring office job to using my skills, experiences & creativity to help others which is beyond fulfilling.

I have transformed guilt, shame, and silence into a pride for all that I am, and can share.

​

It has all come together, as I love the life I live now, and having the opportunity to not only relieve your symptoms, which is massive, but also, for those that wish to do the deeper work, to transform your life, it’s incredible.

 

One of my greatest teachers,

Clarissa Pinkola Estes, puts this beautifully, “Menopause is far more than a a physical change, ‘THE CHANGE’, it is a misnomer. It is a descent and an arising. It is a sunset. Then, a sunrise. The time in between the two counts for everything.”

​

​So this is how it has become my mission to offer this bespoke service to women, understanding that each of our menopause journeys is very personal, and respecting the very unique life experiences of each of us is so important to me and the way I work. My passion to improve the lives of all of us navigating this journey, with a natural and scientifically proven, and bespoke approach, is how the Bespoke Hypnotherapy for Menopause (BHM) came into being.

​

This work really is possible, and I would love to help you through what may feel like the worst time of life, into what could be the best time of your life.
