If hormones are holding you back or if you want to know how to prepare for the future, we can help.
Symptoms of the menopause coincide with what can be one of the most productive and fulfilling times of a woman’s life. We’re reaching a peak in our skills, knowledge and experience. But for many women, the hormonal changes that accompany this time can cause symptoms that range from inconvenient to overwhelming. They intrude on the most fundamental parts of wellbeing – sleep, mood, comfort in our own skin.
Every woman will go through the menopause, yet many struggle to recognise their own or access the help they need. Not everyone gets the hallmark hot flush and changes can begin 10-15 years before periods finally stop. This is the perimenopause. You may notice shorter cycles, mood changes or worsening PMS, but it can be confusing and many women are left wondering: Is it stress? Is it my hormones? Am I ill?
Not all, but many women report experiences with standard healthcare that has sadly left them feeling rushed, dismissed or misinformed. Messages to the medical profession about hormone replacement therapy have been incorrect for years and absent funding for menopause care has led to huge gaps in provision. This has denied many women the benefits that HRT and other treatments could bring them, not just in terms of their wellbeing but also their long term health. Thankfully, this is changing.
If you’re struggling, or even if you want to prepare yourself for the road ahead, we’re here for you. Our philosophy is simple: excellent menopause and perimenopause care informed by the latest evidence from specialist GPs who get to know you personally. We work with regulated medicines and body-identical hormones so you can be confident you’re receiving safe, effective treatment.
Menopause isn’t illness, it’s a transition over years, and one that can open new doors. Symptoms change and new issues crop up. Your needs will change too. With us, you’ll see the same person so you won’t have to start again each time and can build a trusted partnership. It’s our goal to provide a consistent, supportive presence that you can call on as we journey through midlife.
A crucial part of our mission is to support women’s success in the wider world. We believe in levelling the playing field for women through health. 1 million women a year are lost to the workforce due to menopause. That’s not just a tragedy for the individuals, it’s an enormous loss to society. These are women who have been contributing for decades, at the top of their game. We know opportunities to take on new challenges and step into senior roles frequently occur at this time. By supporting women to feel their best we look forward to the fairer representation of women across the board, leading the way among the decision makers and power-brokers for a more equal future.
