What to expect as part of the membership
Hi, I'm Clare
Your Menopause Coach & Guide, here to support you through your menopausal transition.
After reaching menopause at 45, it wasn't until years later that I realised I'd been experiencing perimenopausal symptoms for the prior 10 years. I hadn't even heard of the word perimenopause, I was just told by my mum to expect hot flushes and irregular heavy periods as they came to an end.
It wasn't until I became a life coach specialising in women's mental wellbeing, that I noticed the majority of my clients were going through their menopausal transition. So, I delved into researching the menopause and it became clear that I had experienced a lot more symptoms than I first thought! Symptoms that I had associated with stress which led to an eventual burn out.
This is when I saw the link between the how similar perimenopause symptoms were to stress symptoms. This led me to conduct further research, which confirmed that the stress hormone cortisol affects our sex hormones. Which increases the likelihood and severity of perimenopause symptoms.
A need to change the current narrative around the menopause
Whilst the recent increased awareness in the media is enabling many women to speak up and not feel so alone. Plus, it's highlighting the urgent need for women's health to be taken more seriously, by the medical and scientific communities. I feel the overall narrative is disempowering due to the heavy focus on symptoms. Which is leading to a natural stage in a woman's life being medicalised and exploited commercially, as women seek help to alleviate their symptoms.
If I was a women approaching perimenopause today, the current narrative would leave me dreading this stage in my life. When in fact, not every woman has symptoms, and there is a lot we can do to prevent and reduce symptoms. We just need to be empowered by taking a more salutogenic approach, which is about focusing on how to create and maintain our health and wellbeing holistically. Rather than the pathogenic approach we are currently seeing, which is focused on the cause of illness and disease and prevention with medical intervention.
We get what we focus on in life, so we need to change our approach to focus on empowering women to understand how to create and maintain their health during their transition. Starting with addressing the levels of stress being experienced by women in their daily lives.
The power of a positive mindset is key
In her fantastic book The Menopause Brain, Dr Lisa Mosconi includes a whole chapter on the power of having a positive mindset. She states that "research shows there is a direct link between a woman's physical symptoms and her beliefs about menopause". Further explaining that "women who have more apprehension about menopause tend to experience worse symptoms."
As an accredited NLP Life Coach I know how the mind works and help my clients to understand who they are beyond their thoughts, Then they can start to rediscover who they are and what their needs are. This understanding enables them to change perspectives and move beyond habitual patterns of thinking. Supporting them to reduce stress, regulate their emotions and feel in a stronger position to make positive lifestyle changes, improving their overall menopause journey.
Redefining a more empowering approach
I'm passionate about contributing towards the movement to redefine a new more empowering approach to the menopausal transition. There is meaning and purpose in this transition and now is the time to ensure the menopause is positively embraced for future generations of women.
I invite you to join this movement and look forward to welcoming you into The Menopause Self Discovery Collective!
