In my mid 40's I was struggling with insomnia, weight gain, a confidence crisis and serious fatigue, even after medical appointments it was never suggested that I was peri-menopausal. I was left to struggle on through what felt like such a low and lonely time in my life with a brain full of mush! At the time no one around me was talking about "Menopause".
Fast forward a few years after training lots of ladies around the same age I started to see a pattern of common issues, I saw career women bursting into tears questioning who they were, losing their confidence, struggling with anxiety, fatigue and low moods, I saw the same shoulder issues, aches, pains, loss of energy, fun, zest of life zapped out of them.
Driven by my own experiences and those around me, I wanted to ensure ladies were educated and empowered by being armed with a better understanding of how to navigate menopause in a positive way, making healthy changes to improve cognitive, mental and physical health.
Being a Menopause specialist enables me to put the training and experience into helping others, for women to not feel so alone on their menopause journey.
One of the ways of doing that has been to go into the workplace with my Meno Pause & Breathe workshops where I get to engage, educate and empower those going through menopause but also to break down the stigma and barriers around the subject for everyone.
Please contact me if you would like to run a menopause workshop in your workplace. This is not just for women but men too who would like to be able to offer support to the females in their lives.
I also run "A Girlie Gather" where you can invite your girlfriends along for a wonderful time of pampering using Temple Spa products whilst relaxing and finding out more about menopause and how to navigate it well.

I also have run a private Facebook group called Meno Pause & Breathe, please feel free to join it.
A testimonial from Louisa HR at Smith & Pinching
"We were looking for someone to deliver menopause sessions to male and female members of staff and Sharon more than delivered! She was very knowledgeable and worked with us to understand how we wanted to deliver the sessions and what the sessions would cover. Fantastic feedback was received from everyone who attended, and we had to add two more sessions due to demand!"
