Peri-, Menopause Information

When I reached perimenopause, I was looking for clear, easy-to-understand information, all in one place. That's exactly what I want to offer you here. Below, you'll find some basic, trustworthy guidance to help you understand this life stage.

But every woman is unique, and sometimes a personalised approach makes all the difference. If you'd like to explore your symptoms, lifestyle, and options in a way that fits your body and your life, we can create a tailor-made plan together.

Body-Identical Hormones: Why I Choose Them

Body-identical hormones are exactly the same as the hormones your body naturally produces. Because your body recognises them, they tend to work more naturally, often with fewer side effects than older synthetic therapies.

Starting Hormone Therapy (HRT)

HRT replaces the hormones your body produces less of during peri- and menopause. For many women, it significantly improves quality of life, from sleep and mood to joint pain and vaginal dryness.

More than 50% of postmenopausal women experience GSM, yet most assume it's "just something to live with". It's not. GSM is very treatable, and it affects more daily life than you'd think.
