Hi I'm Emily

 

My Mission is to help as many women as possible to thrive in their menopause journey, feel empowered, confident and enhance their wellbeing.

 

In 2021 at just 35 I began experiencing changes. I noticed weight gain, suffered from crippling anxiety, found my periods were heavy and erratic and I was facing changes in my body including night sweats, brain fog and a loss of libido and feeling lost. Whilst previously I had been bubbly and thriving in my daily routine, now I found herself feeling out of sorts and subdued.

 

While watching a Channel 4 documentary featuring TV presenter Davina McCall delving into the world of perimenopause and everything that happens before the ‘official’ menopause stage, the penny dropped. After turning to my husband and saying ‘this is me’, I knew that I couldn’t carry on, and needed to seek help for my symptoms.

 

After speaking to my GP and tracking my symptoms daily, I was met with huge support as my GP listened and referred me to see a gynaecology specialist. Undergoing full medical checks including blood tests and further symptom tracking, it was confirmed that I was experiencing perimenopause in 2022 and received excellent support. I won't lie I was a little scared being so young but also relieved that I was going crazy.

 

Under the careful eye of my specialist, I was given for medication to help my erratic and heavy periods in 2022 before later being offered hormone patches in 2023. In 2024 I was then given more support and offered hormone gel in the form of oestrogen and progesterone tablets to help me navigate the hormone imbalance that comes as part of the menopause journey.

 

After my diagnosis, I found it was a relief to be heard and listened to, something I have since discovered many women don’t experience, but a big journey was still ahead of me. Supported by my children, husband and family, I was able to explain the changes I was experiencing and how it could impact me in not just a physical way, but a mental and emotional one too.

 

As I navigated my menopause journey, I developed a desire to help others facing the same challenges. After speaking with clients in my salon and other women facing similar symptoms but wondering about a diagnosis, I realised there were so many women out there unsure of how to approach this stage of life, and what it could mean for them and their health.

 

Wanting to help others, create a safe and supportive community, and drive more conversation around menopause and the huge transition it poses, I had a deep calling to help change the narrative around menopause and female health. Instead of only being viewed negatively and how difficult the symptoms can be, I wanted to empower women to understand their bodies, speak up and know how to care for themselves, drawing on her expertise in skin and wellbeing, and my own personal menopause experiences.

 

Launching my Radiance Membership in 2024 and becoming a certified menopause support coach, I was determined to reframe how women experience menopause, and to create change to allow them to advocate for themselves, speak up and find moments of self care and reflection and thrive in their menopause journey.

 

I am excited to support you on your menopause journey 

​

With Love
