PERI to POST MENOPAUSE COACHING

Menopause

I believe menopause is a time when women’s power, wisdom and creativity push to the surface, calling for her attention.

(Dr Christiana Northrup)

How is your menopause?

How we approach and experience midlife varies enormously between women. A blessing, a curse, or a non-event?

I want you to experience these years in the best way you can.  Perhaps for the 1st time in your life, you are really needing to work out how best to do that.

For some, the symptoms of the peri-menopause start up to 10 years before the menopause, this can be a shock.  So, if …

  • your body is changing,
  • you don’t feel quite right, different, not like the old you,
  • your mind can’t quite be relied on in the same way,
  • something feels out of balance …….

it maybe that the peri-menopause has started.  And if so, you are not alone.

Approximately 7 out of 10 women experience peri-menopausal symptoms.  These can start up to 10 years before the menopause.

For more on these symptoms read here, here, or  here.

How I can help you

3 coaching options – all to help / support / motivate you in your menopause wellbeing journey.

However, if you have something else in mind, please get in touch.

Menopause

Option 1: Personalised 1-2-1 Coaching

Coaching for wellbeing in the menopause can be weaved into any of my other coaching services – distressed eating, weight loss, health.

Perhaps, for example, you really want to lose weight and don’t like the way you feel out of control with your eating: –

Up to 80% of women gain weight in the menopause.  This can act as a trigger for the return, or start, of distressed eating.  Coaching therefore works on both menopause wellbeing, and recovering from unhelpful eating, at the same time.

Personal Training sessions can be taken alongside any of my health coaching.

Option 2: The Menopause MOT Package

A package of 3 sessions, ideal as an introduction to coaching.  A chance to take stock of where you are with your wellbeing –  whether you are after reassurance you are doing OK, or help for wanting to do more for yourself.

Session 1 – Nourishment – an overview of menopause friendly ways to eat and drink.

Session 2 – A Calmer Mind – if stress or anxiety are a big symptom then this session will help provide techniques and tips to help

Session 3 – Life Balance – a broader look at your life, a chance for to talk through where you feel out of kilter, and how to start to make that change.

Option 3: Meno Well 10 Package

My most comprehensive offering, this is a real positive commitment to improving your wellbeing as you go through the mid life changes.  For now, and for the future.  A package of 10 x 55 mins coaching sessions + 10 x 30 mins  movement sessions taken together.

As always I want to make this about YOU, so this isn’t a fixed programme plan.  I will support you in what you need.  However, to give you an idea, the 10 health coaching sessions could look like this:

  1. An assessment for me to LISTEN, get to know you, we clear on your goals, prioritise and plan.
  2. Food & drink – what & how.
  3. Appetite & when to eat + kitchen efficiencies.
  4. Unhelpful food habits (eg cravings, stress eating).
  5. Movement in daily life.
  6. Sleep, rest, energy.
  7. Calming the stress / anxiety response.
  8. Life balance.
  9. YOU – your core self – purpose, values, intentions.
  10. Future wellbeing & chance to revisit whatever is needed.

All followed with a 30 min personal training session. (If you would prefer no PT or longer, please contact me)

The cost of this comprehensive package is just £699.

Important Information - please read

This package will not give a medical diagnosis of the peri /menopause or associated symptoms.  Instead it is intended to sit alongside any current medical supervision and medication you may be receiving.    I will not be making any recommendations for medical treatments such as HRT, nor perscribing foods to ‘cure’ symptoms.   There is, some would say, unfortunately no magic pill to make all the symptoms of the peri-menopause disappear, however I do know that how we live our lives can help many of us women.

If I feel that other members of my network can assist you more than I can I will signpost you on.  I work with Nutritional Therapists, Counsellors, Energy therapists, Personal Trainers etc who each excel in their own area and may be of interest to you.

I am an Integrated Nutrition Health Coach, a Culinary Medicine Coach, and an Eating Disorder Practitioner.  I am not a medic, Dietician, or Nutritional Therapist.  Please see here for a full list of my qualifications.

Ts & Cs – clients are welcome to purchase the package more than once.  Sessions will begin after signing of my agreement and payment received in full.  No refunds are available, however sessions be can be deferred should client circumstances change.  Session pace will be determined by the client and the above package content is a suggested format, time allowing in sessions.

Client Testimonials

“I am so grateful for the professional resources, advise and support that Cathy has shared with me during our sessions. Cathy listens with kindness, compassion and care and provides a safe space to further explore.”

“I have valued the opportunity to look back at historic events and how they have informed my current nutrition habits. This has helped me to better understand how and why I have formed unhelpful coping strategies with food and in turn has enabled me to rewrite these narratives.”

“Following six months of work with Cathy through one-to-one, and then Group Coaching sessions, I am in a much healthier place; mentally, physically and nutritionally. Thank you Cathy, for being the steady ground when I found myself in a storm.”

“I discovered Cathy via her articles in Menopause Matters magazine. Her refreshing perspective on wellness and in particular disordered eating really stood out to me. Speaking from the heart with such genuine compassion and well informed, rounded understanding of how to manage unhelpful intrinsic links between eating and emotions, gave me hope about my own lifelong situation.”

“I have found the work with Cathy invaluable. It has helped me calm the chaos and find balance. I have learnt skills and knowledge for how to help myself and I know the door is open if I ever need a top up in the future and I am sure I will!”

“Following a period of illness, I found working with Cathy beneficial on different levels.  Her emphasis on well-being and recommendations helped me understand my mood swings.”
