I’ve just seen an interview on TV about the governments new Women’s Health Strategy that is being introduced to clamp down on the medical misogyny that women face every single day in the NHS. The strategy wants to deliver much quicker diagnosis for women by health practitioners who listen and who genuinely want to help and support women. It can take years, up to 10 years for some to get a diagnosis at the moment for conditions including PMDD, PCOS and Endometriosis. We all know how challenging it can be to get the right support for Perimenopause but will it actually make enough of a difference? Part of the strategy is to hold back some of the funding medical practices receive for their work until patient feedback is given. Money does always talk but how easy this will be to roll out and if actually GPs are going to put the work into finally listening and wanting to help remains to be seen. Just to say there are a lot of wonderful GPs, mine is amazing, but there are also many who are totally disrespectful, need up to date training and seem like they have no intention of helping whatsoever. Let’s see where we are with this in a years time 🤔

I had the most wonderful day on Saturday meeting the most incredible women at The Power Lunch Club in London 🙌

The day was all about women in business coming together to connect, grow and learn. Apart from having a horrible cold that made my head feel like it was full of cotton wool the feedback from my talk was really wonderful 🙌

I talked about the importance of having a natural cycle and how if we sync our work and personal lives within the seasons of it the benefits can be huge to every part of our lives. Think less brain fog and exhaustion, more focus, energy and a huge sense of accomplishment every month 🤩

I learnt so much from the other speakers talked about how we can be more visible in our businesses, Caroline empowered us to magnify what we want to bring into our lives and an award winning public speaking coach smashed it out of the park with her very inspiring talk an how to create a jaw dropping signature talk, shame I didn’t get to present mine after listening to hers! It was also lovely to finally meet Kate we had a lovely chat on the train home together and will be collaborating very soon 🙌

The day reminded me of how important it is to connect and collaborate especially away from home, it vastly opens up our circle. I am going to create a workshop and an online course from the content I created for this talk. It’s another subject within women’s health that’s close to my heart so watch this space for more details!

I am very excited to be attending and speaking at the Power Lunch Club in London next week at the Thank you Caroline Caroline Donaghue for inviting me 🫶

The Power Lunch Club is a gathering for ambitious women who are ready to step forward in their career, expand their wealth, and claim their personal power! 🚀 It’s a space to step out of the noise of everyday life and into a room full of women who are building meaningful careers, thinking bigger about their futures, and supporting each other along the way 🫶

Spring is the season where movement begins again, after the quieter months of winter when ideas form, plans evolve and many women find themselves questioning what they really want next, spring is when those intentions begin to turn into action 👏

Through a series of expert led sessions and conversations we’ll explore themes that shape how women lead and succeed today, including talks about:

✨Understanding how hormonal rhythms influence energy, focus and performance - Me! 
✨Developing a stronger public voice and speaking with confidence Emma Gaskin | Public Speaking Coach 
✨Stepping forward with greater visibility and authority in our careers Beatrice Ronchetti
✨How to step into a different kind of leadership, one rooted in embodied power, magnetism and authority Caroline Donaghue

Women leave The Power Lunch Club with:

✨Greater confidence using their voice, in meetings, on stages and in the rooms where decisions are made
✨A deeper understanding of how their energy and hormonal rhythms influence performance and leadership
✨Practical ways to increase their visibility and stop playing small with their expertise
✨ New relationships with ambitious women who actively support each other’s success
✨A sharper sense of direction they are taking in their career, wealth and life

If you would like to join us there are a couple of places left, the booking link is in my bio and here https://luma.com/6lzzy1h9

Saturday 11th of April 10am to 5.30pm. I am really looking forward to learning lots and making wonderful new connections ✨

We need to create a sense of safety in our bodies so that hormones can regulate. Creating a nervous system that is fully supported is key to hormonal harmony, too much caffeine does the opposite as it stimulates cortisol and adrenaline putting us into fight or flight ✈️

Caffeine affects everybody differently but what I see regularly is that when a women reduces it right down to no more than one cup or two at the most and not past lunch time, the benefits are huge 😀 I work with many women who drink cups and cups of tea everyday who are initially horrified to reduce it down but once they do they are totally blown away by how much better they feel 👏

Caffeine especially in an already over stimulated woman means….

✨ Cortisol dysregulation
✨ Unstable blood sugars
✨ Restless sleep patterns
✨ Brain fog
✨ Mood swings
✨ Fatigue
✨ Anxiety
✨ Weight gain

One cup a day will give the Adrenal Glands a chance to recover balancing cortisol which in turn will help the production of DHEA, Oestrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone. Ideally have caffeine after food and never first thing on an empty stomach. Decaf still contains caffeine, choose caffeine free teas and something I love is Dandelion Root Coffee. It tastes pretty similar to coffee without any caffeine, it’s rich in prebiotic fibre and antioxidants too 🌱

Always check if it’s suitable for you if you have any health conditions.

So, do you think you can reduce your caffeine to just one cup a day?

Working with Jo over the past few months has been so rewarding 🙌 To be able to support her and witness a huge transformation in her health has been incredible. We worked together like a super sonic team 🤩 She was committed to implementing the changes, her dedication paid off, she is in a very different place now, energised and enjoying life with her friends and family again 🥰

This is to all women who feel there’s no hope, read her full review below X

“I started to have health problems in my late 30s when I experienced issues with my eyes, stomach, being tired and anxious a lot. I put it down to stress but more symptoms started to appear. I just kept going and put it down to just getting older etc. When I started waking up during nights sweating and with my heart racing I just knew things were not right. I went to see my GP and various specialists but no one connected the dots. Then I came across Sarah’s profile and everything she described on how some women might feel ticked my boxes. Aged 41 I felt so low I thought I have nothing to lose and reached out to Sarah to book her Complete Hormone Reset program that included the Dutch test.

We started our sessions and once I got the test results back and saw how out of place some of my results were, we put together a plan for meals, exercise, stress management and most importantly the right supplements. I have now been following above for 4 months and what a difference these months have made.

I sleep again without sweats, no bloating, no afternoon slumps, no cravings and feeling a lot calmer again. For the 1st time in many years I feel like myself again and can’t thank Sarah enough for all her input and helping me get back to my normal self. I know this is an ongoing journey and I will have to make adjustments along the way but I feel like with Sarah I have the right support I need to navigate the coming years”

So many women I work with are exhausted, wired, overwhelmed, yet still pushing harder, doing more, trying to “fix” themselves.

But here’s the truth:

Your hormones don’t thrive in stress.
Your body doesn’t heal in survival mode.

When cortisol stays high, your body shifts into protection mode:

✨ Energy becomes inconsistent
✨ Cravings increase
✨ Sleep suffers
✨ Periods can become more irregular or more symptomatic
✨ Mood swings are off the charts

It’s not a lack of willpower.
It’s a nervous system that hasn’t had space to switch off. Think of a laptop with 20 tabs open at once, it starts to freeze then crash. Give yourself space to close those tabs in your brain 🧠

Balance doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from creating safety in your body. Doing less, thinking less.

Start small:

🧘‍♂️Take a few slow, deep breaths
☀️Step outside into natural light
✋Pause instead of pushing through
😌 Give your body moments of calm throughout the day

These are not luxuries.
They are essential for hormone health.

Your body is always listening.

The question is, are you giving yourself signals of stress or signals of safety?

At 43, I had just had another baby.
Life was full, busy and a tad overwhelming to say the least.

I was juggling a growing family, building my business, running on empty most days. I had no idea that what I was experiencing wasn’t just “normal exhaustion.” I put it down to life with a young baby.

The anxiety.
The disrupted sleep.
The brain fog.
The feeling of not quite recognising myself anymore.
The putting on weight.

I suddenly discovered this thing called Perimenopause, I hadn’t heard of it before. This was 11 years ago when no one was talking about it.

So I did what I’ve always done, I started researching, searching for answers.

That search changed everything.

It led me to train in Peri to Post Menopause Health and more importantly, to completely overhaul my own life. I shifted how I ate, how I moved, how I managed stress and for the first time, I truly prioritised myself.

Not as a luxury.
But as a necessity.

And it worked.

Until around 50, when I made another powerful decision, to introduce HRT.

Another game changer.

Because here’s what I now know, and what I share with every woman I work with:

✨ There is no one size fits all approach
✨ It’s not either/or, it’s a combination
✨ A holistic approach alongside the right medical support if needed is where the magic happens.

Now at 54…

I feel stronger.
Calmer.
More energised.
More me than I have in years.
In fact, my hormones have never been in such great shape, EVER!

This chapter doesn’t have to be one we “just get through.”

It can be the one where we truly come back to ourselves.

If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or like something just isn’t quite right, please know this:

You’re not alone and there is a way through, you just need the right support, evidence based, tailored to you as an individual woman.

Give yourself that time and space you deserve to find your way and if you need help, I am here,

Lots of love, Sarah 🫶

Poor hormone metabolism is often a bigger driver of perimenopausal symptoms than dropping hormone levels, what???? Yes! 😱

Compromised liver and gut health due to stress in the body, regular alcohol consumption, medications or a poor diet means oestrogen can be reabsorbed rather than being removed safely from the body. Too much can also be sent down the wrong pathway making symptoms worse. One way to find out if your body is struggling with this is to test with an Advanced Hormone Test (Dutch Test) a urine and saliva test which looks deeply to find the root cause of your symptoms.

The test answers how well the liver is processing oestrogen by looking at Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification pathways. For example, if the test shows you favour the proliferative 16-OH pathway or you have slow methylation, this answers why you might be experiencing severe hot flushes, heavy periods, headaches or breast pain, even if your total oestrogen levels are within range.

My clients feel a huge sense of relief once they get their test results back because they can clearly see why they are feeling so awful, they finally feel validated 🙌 The great news is they get a 3 month plan to follow which allows them to completely recalibrate reducing and even eliminating symptoms ✨

Are your symptoms caused by perimenopause or just chronic stress?

Many women in their 40s assume their fatigue, weight gain, and poor sleep are due to perimenopause, but testing frequently reveals that their reproductive hormones are still in range.

So what’s going on? Their symptoms are driven by dysregulated stress hormones. This is a time in women’s lives which can be extremely challenging, juggling many different plates, women are under nourished and ‘DOING’ too much. When women reach their 40s there is no where to hide anymore, that busy life starts to really bite back causing hormonal mayhem. Nourishing yourself means allowing yourself to take your foot off the gas, understanding what your body needs and prioritising an abundance of loving self care 💕 This can be a challenge to some women who are trapped in the ‘DOING’ cycle.

This is where I come in, I give you the space and time you need to work it all out, let go and re build a healthier, more fulfilling life which allows you to feel calm, centred and peaceful. You get the life you deserve ☺️

A wonderful way for you to really know what’s going on inside your body and where you are in your perimenopausal journey is to test. By measuring free and metabolised cortisol, the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR), and DHEA levels, the test answers whether you are experiencing a true hormonal shift or an adrenal crisis mimicking perimenopause. This is a functional approach meaning it is getting to the root cause of why you are feeling like you are, no guessing just real answers. What’s more you have a 3 month plan to follow to restore the balance, recalibrating the Adrenals so you can feel like you again 😀

If you would like to learn more about how I can help you and how an Advanced Hormone Test can support you, get in touch today. Simply DM me via WhatsApp, I’m here to answer your questions,

Lots of love, Sarah 🫶

I am very excited and honoured to be invited to speak at the at the NEC in Birmingham in May! This year they have created a Hormone Hub space with some very exciting speakers including me 🤩 I am going to be talking about the importance of root cause healing and taking a holistic approach to women’s health 👏

There are lots of incredible speakers including Queen of Gluten Free, Olympian and Coeliac Advocate, Ella Mills founder of and Dr Megan Rossi

I am always looking for more free from options not only for myself but to recommend to clients whether its food, skincare or the products we use around our home, allergens and toxins are everywhere. As we go through perimenopause we can also become suddenly really sensitive to certain things, proteins and chemicals including cows dairy and gluten, and also experience histamine issues so this show really resonates with me and the work I do 👏

Across expert panels, inspiring talks, live cooking demos, interactive Q&As and lots of great stands the day is designed to inform, inspire and empower! Take a look at the full agenda, link below and in my bio and come say hi if you are there 🙋‍♀️

Progesterone is the most overlooked hormone in women’s health, It supports so much including:

🙋‍♀️Sleep 💤
🙋‍♀️Memory
🙋‍♀️Strong healthy bones
🙋‍♀️A bright brain 🧠
🙋‍♀️Mood stability
🙋‍♀️A healthy heart ❤️
🙋‍♀️It helps to keep your womb lining thin

It’s the first hormone to decline in Perimenopause and often suppressed by chronic stress and hormonal contraception.

If you’ve been told your blood tests are “normal” but you still feel exhausted, anxious or wired maybe experiencing heavy painful periods, mood swings or brain fog there is another way to get to the root cause 🙌

I use functional hormone testing via Future Woman inside my Hormone MOT + and my Complete Hormone Reset Program to help women like you understand what is really going on inside your body. Because why would you want to be guessing when you can get to the truth once and for all?

Work with me or simply order a test through me, the link is below. DM me for a chat 😀 Save this post and share with every woman who needs to read this,

Lots of love Sarah 🫶

Frustrated is an understatement 😤 Why are so many GPs still so uneducated about the latest up to date menopause treatments and guidance when it comes to HRT prescribing???? There is no excuse with so much free training available for surgeries now. I have received two messages this weekend from clients who have been refused HRT with reasons that are outdated and bloody wrong. Things like, “Oestrogen and Progesterone together will hugely raise your breast cancer risk so I’m not giving it to you, Progesterone doesn’t help with sleep and anxiety, you don’t need Topical Oestrogen” (even though my client has all the symptoms). All I want is to be able to work alongside GPs to help women feel the best they possibly can, it’s not fair that my clients are feeling upset and unheard after a visit to their local surgery.

Why or why is this still happening? Rant over!

Sarahs Story

I started running my own business, iMassage Massage Health & Wellbeing back in 2012 following my passion for natural holistic healthcare. Over the years I built a very successful fulltime career as a wellness practitioner and in 2019 I fulfilled my dream and opened The Manor Health and Wellness Centre in Colchester Essex with a colleague. The Manor is an amazing space offering holistic healthcare therapies, classes and workshops and brings many very experienced, passionate practitioners and teachers together working under one roof. www.themanorhealthandwellness.co.uk

I was seeing a lot of women in my practice presenting with Peri to Post Menopausal symptoms who were not getting any help or guidance from their GPs. I myself being 47 was also experiencing some symptoms specifically nightsweats and unexplained weightgain. I felt a huge calling to research everything menopause, train in this area and then share my knowledge, #knowledgeispower

My passion and enthusiasm for learning and helping others took me to train to become a Peri to Post Menopause Womens Wellness Coach. My training has given me all the knowledge, tools, love and passion to support women through these years empowering them with the confidence they need to make the 3rd age their best years yet. Together we can build a holistic strategy that involves you taking ownership of your health, taking back control so that you feel the healthiest you have ever felt and will fly into the second half of your life fitter, stronger and happier than ever before.

KNOWLEDGE = ACTION = POWER
