Menopause Support – More Than Just Hormones

As January, I shall based at Wheatrig Farm, Kilmaurs offering health-focused support for women navigating menopause and midlife.

I qualified in Holistic Therapies in 2010 and have continued to expand my training over the years, adding treatments such as deep tissue massage, hot stones and ear candling.
My work today is centred on supporting women’s health in a deeper, more integrated way.

Menopause can affect far more than periods. Many women experience poor sleep, anxiety, low mood, joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, weight changes and a sense of feeling not quite themselves

As we move into 2026 my focus is on menopause-informed care offering a combination of therapeutic massage, health coaching, and trauma-informed somatic coaching. This approach supports the nervous system, hormonal balance, stress levels and overall wellbeing,rather than just treating symptoms in isolation.

If you’re looking for calm, knowledgeable and compassionate support through menopause, I’d love to welcome you to the space at Wheatrig Farm

The Winter Solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year,a natural turning point where the light slowly begins to return.

Menopause is its own winter season. Hormonal changes can affect energy, mood, sleep, and blood sugar, often increasing our need for rest, warmth, and steady nourishment.

The solstice is a reminder that this is not a time to push or restrict but a time to support your body deeply.

Ways to honour your menopausal body on the solstice
🤍 Choose warm, cooked foods to support digestion and hormone balance
🤍 Prioritise protein at each meal to stabilise blood sugar and energy
🤍 Include healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds) for hormone support
🤍 Sip warming drinks like herbal teas or bone broth
🤍 Eat regularly — skipping meals can worsen fatigue, anxiety, and hot flushes
🤍 Pair nourishment with rest, gentle movement, and lower expectations

Just like nature rests before renewal, your body is asking for care, consistency, and compassion

Menopause isn’t about shrinking yourself it’s about learning how to nourish and support this new season of life

How are you nourishing yourself today?

Tried contrast therapy for the first time today and well it was only my first time 🤣

Infrared sauna benefits
• Deep relaxation
• Increased circulation
• Muscle recovery + detox vibes
• That warm, calm reset your mind needed

Cold plunge benefits:
• Boosted energy + alertness
• Reduced inflammation
• Mood-lifting endorphins
• Builds mental resilience

I only made it into the cold up to my thighs this time 😅 but hey — first time! The sauna was definitely my happy place.

Big shoutout to Jenna for the warm welcome and showing me around. Can’t wait to go back for a massage

It’s hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t lived it…
the way it creeps into every part of your life and slowly takes pieces of you.

For me, it felt like I was being stabbed from the inside every single day
Periods that were so heavy and painful they left me anemic, weak, and barely able to function
Exhaustion that wasn’t just tiredness — it was so deep,the kind that steals your joy and your spark.

I stopped going to the gym.
I stopped socialising.
I stopped feeling like me
Adenomyosis didn’t just hurt — it took my life away bit by bit

In the end, I made the hardest, most emotional decision of my life:
I chose to have a full hysterectomy

And even though that choice came with its own grief, fear, and healing…
it also gave me something adenomyosis had taken —my life back

I no longer have adenomyosis.
But I’ll never forget what it felt like, or the strength it took to get here.

If you’re living this nightmare right now, please know you’re not alone.
Your pain is real.
Your story matters. 💛

Adenomyosis. 🌸🩸🩺

GENTLE REMINDER: I’m a husband learning behind my wife, who lives with stage IV endo and fibro. This is not medical advice but my own research and a wish to understand. Please share your real-life experiences so I can write more accurately for the next woman. Your lived truth matters more than anything. Tell me what I get right or wrong so I can keep learning and spread better awareness. THANK YOU.

My wife doesn’t have adenomyosis, but so many of you have asked me to write about it. I’m sharing what I’ve learned as a husband who loves a woman with chronic gynecologic pain, so you feel seen, not dismissed. 🫶

What adenomyosis is (in clear words)?

Adenomyosis is when the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscle wall of the uterus. That muscle can become thick, irritable, and tender, so periods can be heavy, crampy, and exhausting. It’s not “just bad periods.” It’s a real disease with a real biology.

Why symptoms feel so overwhelming?

• Heavy bleeding & iron loss. Month after month, blood loss can drain your energy and mood. Iron deficiency alone can make getting out of bed feel like wading through wet sand. Please ask for a blood count and iron checks if you’re wiped out.
• Deep, dragging cramps. When the uterine muscle is inflamed and thickened, contractions hurt more. That’s biology, not weakness.
• It can start younger than people think. Better imaging now finds adenomyosis even in teens and young adults, so you’re not “too young” to be believed.

How doctors can see it (so you’re not gaslit)?

• Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) done by someone familiar with MUSA criteria can spot classic signs such as myometrial cysts, “fan-shaped” shadowing, asymmetric thickening, and changes near the junctional zone.
• MRI can help confirm the picture, often showing a thickened junctional zone.

Endometriosis & adenomyosis can travel together.

Many women with endometriosis also have adenomyosis, one reason pain can feel pelvic-wide and stubborn. Knowing they can coexist helps you push for thorough imaging and a joined-up plan.

Fertility...

Some studies link adenomyosis with higher miscarriage risk and lower success in certain IVF settings. This is not everyone’s story but it’s important to have a fertility-aware plan early, with a team that understands adenomyosis.

What helps (not one-size-fits-all)?

• Managing anemia matters just as much as pain control.
• Hysterectomy can be effective for women who are done with childbearing, but it isn’t first-line and it’s not the only path.
• Adenomyomectomy (surgical removal of focal disease) or uterine artery embolization (UAE) which may reduce symptoms and preserve the uterus.

A gentle plan you can take to your next appointment:

• Bring a 2–3 month symptom diary (bleeding pattern, pain score, fatigue, meds used).
• Ask for TVUS using MUSA, anc ask about MRI.
• Request blood tests for anemia/iron if you’re exhausted.
• Discuss goals first (pain, bleeding, fertility), then choose treatments that match those goals.
• If you’re not being heard, it’s ALWAYS okay to seek a second opinion.

I hope I've got it right. Please share your real-life experience as my wife doesn’t have adenomyosis. Thank you.

Who can believe it’s December already so here’s
A gentle reminder to slow down… breathe… and take in the magic of this season.

As the year winds down, let’s pause to reflect on how far we’ve come, the lessons we’ve learned, and the small moments that shaped us.

Be thankful for the people who held space for you, the challenges that helped you grow, and the love that showed up in unexpected ways.

Most of all, spend time with the ones who matter.
These are the moments we’ll remember long after the month is over. 🤍

Here’s to a peaceful, heart-filled December.

When the weather cools down, our bodies naturally crave warmth, coziness, and grounding foods.
Think nourishing soups, slow-cooked stews, roasted veggies, and creamy-but-healthy bowls that leave you feeling satisfied without the crash

Healthy comfort food isn’t about restriction — it’s about supporting your hormones, energy, and mood with meals that feel good and taste like a hug.

A little heads-up: The Calm & Balanced 7-Day Reset is dropping in January.
If you’re ready for a gentle, hormone-friendly reset to help you feel lighter, calmer, and more in control after the holidays… this is for you.

More details very soon ❤️.
