Hi, I’m Emily

​

My mission is to support organisations to better understand menopause in the workplace and to help create cultures where women feel informed, supported, and able to thrive throughout every stage of menopause.

​

In 2021, at just 35, I began experiencing changes I wasn’t prepared for. I noticed weight gain, struggled with crippling anxiety, experienced heavy and erratic periods, and dealt with symptoms such as night sweats and brain fog. At the same time, I was and still am running my own skin and wellbeing clinic, supporting clients, managing the day to day responsibility of the salon, making decisions, and carrying the ongoing pressure that comes with business ownership.

​

I continued to show up for my clients and my business, even as my confidence wavered and my energy became unpredictable. From the outside, I appeared capable and in control. Internally, everyday demands felt heavier, and I began questioning myself rather than what might be happening hormonally, an experience many working women can relate to.

​

One evening, while watching a Channel 4 documentary featuring Davina McCall discussing perimenopause, everything clicked. I turned to my husband and said, “This is me.” That moment of recognition changed how I understood my health and my capacity at work.

​

After tracking my symptoms and speaking with my GP, I was listened to, referred to a specialist, and in 2022 diagnosed as perimenopausal. With clinical guidance, I began treatment, including hormone therapy. Being so young, it felt daunting, yet also validating. I finally understood that I was not failing or struggling to cope. My body was changing and needed the right support.

 

Being listened to was life changing. Unfortunately, many women do not have this experience. Menopause symptoms are still frequently misunderstood, dismissed, or misattributed, particularly in professional environments where women feel expected to perform, manage responsibility, and carry on regardless.

​

That experience shaped my purpose.

​

Alongside over 20 years’ experience in the wellbeing industry, I have a teaching background in further education and I am a CPD accredited menopause coach. This combination enables me to deliver evidence based, engaging, and practical menopause education that is relevant and accessible within workplace settings.

​

I now work with organisations to raise awareness, improve understanding, and support meaningful change around menopause at work. Through workplace education sessions, awareness workshops, and consultancy, I help businesses understand how menopause can affect confidence, concentration, decision making, attendance, and retention, and what supportive, people first workplaces can do differently.

​

I am passionate about helping organisations move beyond tick box approaches and towards informed, compassionate cultures where menopause is recognised as a natural life stage and not a taboo subject. When women feel supported, they remain engaged, capable, and confident at work, benefiting individuals, teams, and organisations alike.

​

My work is grounded in lived experience, evidence based education, and a deep understanding of the pressures faced by women balancing responsibility, leadership, and wellbeing in the workplace.

​

Because menopause awareness is not just a wellbeing issue. It is a leadership, inclusion, and performance issue.
