My cup is well and truly full after kicking off the Christmas catch ups 🥰 Two days in London, two friends and looking at my diary… I’m basically flying from now until Christmas.

This week I’m delivering my Menopause Workshop for two local organisations

First up, a return visit to Home Instead Clacton, Frinton & Walton I’ve not come across a care business that pays so much attention to the well being of the staffing team and I have no doubt this reflects into service delivery.

Tomorrow it’s Extra-Support for Families
This team do incredible work within the community supporting families facing challenges. I already know this is going to be a warm, easy going session.

And for you lucky lot I’m joining nine other Ess*x business women to offer an alternative to the Black Friday chaos with the ‘Autumn Thrive Edit’ 🍂

Every business has a free offering from wellbeing to business support and I’ll be sharing the link so you can access anything that’s useful for you. If you’re on my list, you’ll get the email. I’ll post here too.

And then end of the week, my Sunday Session… slow, gentle, cosy. Movement, breathwork, stillness, herbal tea, pastries and a proper menopause chat. My favourite way to close a week.

If I could offer one piece of advice right now?
Slow down.

This time of year is overwhelming on its own - the added stress, pace and socialising can crank up peri/menopause symptoms fast.

Even ten minutes helps.
Take a walk.
Sip your tea in peace.
And if you want breathing reset sessions, I’ve got a few on the podcast, tell me in the comments and I’ll point you to the right one.

And if you’re still reading?
Well done. My daughter calls this a “wall of text” 😂

Did you make it to the end? Tell me in the comments...

🔖SAVE this so you don’t forget...

If I wanted to stop the tight, uncomfortable, “I’ve only looked at food and I’m already bloated” feeling in perimenopause, this is what I’d do:

👉Go slow with fibre
Most women improve their diet overnight, load up on plants and wholegrains and then wonder why the bloating gets worse. Your gut needs time to adjust, so increase things gradually.

👉Drink more water than you think you need
Dehydration makes bloating worse. Your gut needs fluid to move things along. Most women are nowhere near hydrated enough.

👉Take a 10 minute walk after meals
Yes, the fart walk is a real thing. Let the wind move, don’t hold it in. It’s one of the simplest ways to reduce bloating fast.

👉Wear the bigger size
Sucking your stomach in all day makes digestion harder and restricts your breathing. Support your body to do its job.

👉Support your gut daily
Fluctuating oestrogen affects your microbiome. You don’t need supplements; you need consistency with the basics.

And if something feels new, severe or not like you, it’s always worth checking in with your GP. Not everything is peri.

💨Will you be doing the fart walk?

Last week I delivered my Menopause But Better workshop at Pickering Electronics Ltd - brilliant turnout and brilliant team.

You can always tell when an organisation genuinely supports its workforce. It shows in the culture, the confidence and the conversations that happen in the room.

I’ll be back next year to deliver the next two sessions in their workplace bundle:
• Intro to Breathwork for anxiety + stress
• Let’s Talk Menopause -a facilitated space to share experiences & get answers to those burning questions

The initial feedback from this first session has been fantastic!
👉 100% of attendees rated it excellent
(more results are in the images, so take a flick through for the headline numbers)

This full menopause support package is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund
and there is now one place left for Tendring based organisations District Council

Not in Tendring?
The workplace package is available independently for under £50 per person for a whole year of support.

I said no to modifying my talk.

A few weeks ago, I was the headline speaker at a menopause event delivering my signature talk Menopause But Better.

It’s punchy, it’s personal and it’s rooted in almost eight years of supporting women through menopause. I know what works

A few days later, an exhibitor messaged me to say how upset they were. A classic s**t sandwich as my husband likes to put it:
polite intro → the 'feedback' → polite sign off.

Their issue?
They didn’t like me saying you don’t need supplements to have a better menopause experience. Apparently that was upsetting and I should consider ‘others in the room.

I’ll be honest, I’d already felt their energy on the night. But I choose to see the best in people.

Anyway, the answer was a firm no from me.

I’m not here to water down the truth to suit commercial interests.
Supplements aren’t the villain but they’re too often sold as the solution, when the real change makers are food, sleep, stress, movement and boundaries.

That’s where transformation actually happens.

This work isn’t about selling quick fixes.
It’s about helping women get their life back – the laughter, vibrancy, spontaneity, joy!

Why am I telling you this?
It tells you who I am
It tells you what I stand for.
And it tells you, you’re in the right place

Everyone’s talking about “balancing your hormones" in midlife....
If you think about it, what does that even mean?

Your menopause hormones don’t work in isolation.
They’re part of an entire ecosystem that’s constantly adjusting and adapting, exactly as it’s supposed to.

The real issue?
When you’re under fuelling, under hydrated, over stressed or not moving enough, you stop creating the environment your body needs to do its job.

Take cortisol, for example, your stress hormone.
Your adrenal glands can make small amounts of hormone precursors that convert into oestrogen, a natural back up system once your ovaries slow down.
But when stress is constant, your body diverts resources to cortisol instead.

That’s when menopause symptoms ramp up:
💥 Energy crashes
💥 Mood swings
💥 Cravings and weight gain around the middle

So instead of chasing 'balance' focus on creating an environment your body can thrive in:
🥑 Eat regularly – 3 real meals a day
💧 Drink enough water
🌿 Add plant variety for fibre and phytonutrients
🌤 Move and get outside – think endorphin release and sunlight
🫁 Manage stress – breathwork is my go-to

Your body already knows what to do, it just needs the right conditions to do it well.

Last Sunday was the second in my Autumn–Winter Menopause Breathwork Series

Each session is different but this time our focus was ENERGY & FOCUS

We started with gentle stretching, then moved into bilateral movement to lift energy and bring both sides of the brain together - helping you think clearer, without the effort.

From there we practised alternate nostril breathing, a brilliant reset for the middle of the day when you’d usually reach for another coffee.

And of course, we rounded off with herbal tea, pastries and that honest menopause chat that always reminds me how much these sessions are about community as much as they are about breathwork.

Every time I’m reminded how powerful slowing down can be. Giving yourself space and letting your body do what it needs to.

These sessions have been fully booked for months (next group availability is 2026!)

This afternoon I had the pleasure of speaking at Phoenix Futures Ess*x women’s wellbeing event.

Days like this remind me why I do what I do. The sharing of experiences and honesty, plus the energy in the room was incredible!

Menopause doesn’t happen in isolation, it can land on top of stress, loss or years of holding it all together, so a little guidance goes a long way.

We covered so much but the main message that kept coming up…
👉 Know what’s normal for you
Start tracking.
Use a symptom checklist.
Go into your GP appointment clear on what you need so you can make the most of that time.

Empowering women to ask better questions, understand their bodies and take back control - that’s where real change starts.

Huge thanks to Phoenix Futures for inviting me to share this space and for the incredible work you do supporting women to rebuild their lives.
And to The Minories always such a beautiful venue.

Forget haunted houses, menopause has its own horror stories 👻

Mine was RAGE full blown red mist, say things you don't mean but can't stop it coming out your mouth type rage.

For you that might be exhaustion that has you a crying heap in the corner, or maybe anxiety that stops you doing the things you love or maybe a s*x drive thats gone AWOL and makes you hate your partner.

Good news is you're not mad, you're in perimenopause AND all sortable!

What's been your scariest symptom?
I’ve listed a few in the comments, hit like on the one that fits you best or add your own 👇

Soup season 🍲

Before you reach for the butternut squash & crusty bread combo, here’s one midlife shift that changes everything...

👉 Add protein
It keeps you fuller, steadies blood sugar, preventing energy crashes and smoothing the menopause symptom rollercoaster.

Try this:
• Toss lentils or beans into your soup
• Add a crunchy seed topping
• Stir in some shredded chicken
• Pair with hummus toast

Midlife isn’t about cutting back, it’s about fuelling better.

👉 What’s your favourite soup combo right now?

Ever notice how some women seem to glide through perimenopause, even when life’s throwing everything at them?
It’s not luck. It’s strategy.

These are the 3 things my most successful clients all have in common 👇

They don’t overcomplicate it.
They don’t wait for perfect timing.
They stay consistent even when life’s messy.

That’s why my SHIFT programme works.
It’s coaching for the self starters. The women who are competitive with themselves, who want results, not another pep talk.
You get the framework, the focus and the freedom to go at your pace ...without me breathing down your neck 😆

Because once you know what to do, you'll do it.

I help women feel good about themselves again.

Hi I’m Julie, I help women approaching the menopause to gain control of their weight and manage symptoms through changing their diet.

For years you have put your family first and have juggled a hectic personal life with a busy, professional career. Your weight has crept up over the years but despite numerous diets, it is still going up. To the point that you now feel unhappy when you look in the mirror and no longer see yourself. You used to exude confidence and you want to get that spark back. The problem is you feel like you’ve tried everything and don’t know where else to turn.

I specialise in working with women who have had years of yo-yo dieting without success, who want to feel good about themselves and start living life to the full again. Often, my clients are approaching the menopause and are finding managing their weight even more difficult to manage but combine this with the onset of symptoms such as disrupted sleep, mood swings, hot flushes, joint pain & brain fog, their goal seems even further off in the distance.

This is where I come in.
