About me

Menopause Specialist | Advanced Nurse Practitioner | Mind-Body Wellness Mentor

I am a Menopause Specialist Nurse, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, and Independent Prescriber with over three decades of experience in healthcare. I began my nursing career in 1989 at Guy’s Hospital, London, and have dedicated my professional life to supporting women’s health and well-being.

My career has spanned Acute Elderly Medicine, 14 years in A&E, and since 2003, I have worked in NHS General Practice as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, where I continue to provide expert care in Primary Care. I also specialize in contraceptive coil and implant fitting, ensuring women receive comprehensive reproductive healthcare.

Women’s health has always been a key focus in my practice, but my own experience with perimenopause gave me a deeper understanding of the challenges many women face. Experiencing symptoms first hand made me realize how vital knowledge, treatment, and mindset are in navigating this transition. This personal journey inspired me to become a Menopause Specialist, combining my medical expertise with a holistic, evidence-based approach to empower women to take control of their menopause journey.

I hold the Advanced Certificate in Menopause Care, recognized by the British Menopause Society, and have trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for menopause symptoms. My approach blends clinical care with mindset coaching, helping women manage their symptoms through both medical treatment and practical lifestyle strategies.
