Midlife Moments

Are you in midlife, perimenopause or menopause?

Are you noticing changes & questioning what has happened to your body, mind & emotions?

Have you said to yourself "I just don't feel like me"?

Are you waking at 3am feeling overwhelmed and can't get back to sleep?

Is your confidence missing and you can't think clearly?

You are in the right place!

Every woman's experience of menopause is different

Midlife is the stage of life between 35-65 years

Perimenopause can start in your 30s, 40s or 50s but is generally around 47 years. It can last between 4-10 years, sometimes even longer

Menopause is when it has been 12 months until your last period

Alice

'I don't feel like me. Why can't I pull it together? Why do I feel off? I asked my doctor and he said I was too young for it to be menopause or perimenopause. I want to enjoy this next stage of my life.'

Isabella

'I'm not struggling with symptoms too badly, I am just not sure if I know what I want the rest of my life to be. I used to be confident and know what I want, now I'm not so sure.I had fun when I was young, I've had my kids, now what?'

Sasha

'When I was younger I thought one day out of the blue I would just go through menopause. It seemed scary. Now it doesn't have to be scary and there are people out there that can help you to cope better.'
