​Supporting Women Through Perimenopause, Menopause & Midlife
When the physical picture isn't the whole picture
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause are real and can have a significant impact on how a woman feels and functions.
​
But women can also find themselves navigating changes in confidence, motivation, sleep, identity, habits and their ability to cope with stress or maintain behaviours that previously felt manageable.
​
For some, there can be a frustrating gap between knowing what they want or need to change and being able to make that change happen.
​
This is where my work can complement the medical and healthcare support a woman may already be receiving.
Supporting the change beyond the physical
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Mindset Coach and NLP Practitioner specialising in supporting women through perimenopause, menopause and midlife.
​
My work focuses on the beliefs, habits, behaviours and subconscious patterns that can influence how women think, feel and respond to change.
​
Using mindset coaching, clinical hypnotherapy and NLP, I help women identify and shift patterns that may no longer be supporting them, helping them move forward with greater calm, confidence, clarity and self-trust.
​
My approach is practical, personalised and forward-focused.
When might this be helpful?
A woman may benefit from additional support if she is experiencing:
-
Feeling unlike herself or disconnected from her sense of self
-
Changes in confidence, motivation or self-belief
-
Difficulty creating or maintaining sustainable habits
-
Knowing what she wants to change but repeatedly struggling to follow through
-
Sleep difficulties or difficulty switching off
-
Stress, overwhelm or persistent mental load
-
A need for sustainable habit and behaviour support alongside GLP-1 medication or following bariatric surgery
-
Changes in identity, roles or direction during midlife
Every woman's experience is different. Support is tailored to her individual circumstances, challenges and goals.
THE TRANSFORMING MIDLIFE METHOD™
My work is underpinned by The Transforming Midlife Method™, a six-stage framework developed specifically to support women through perimenopause, menopause and midlife.
REVEAL → RELEASE → RE-IMAGINE → REWIRE → REINFORCE → RISE
The Method recognises the interplay between three key areas:
​
Hormonal Change
Acknowledging the physical and cognitive changes that may be occurring.
​
The Subconscious Mind
Addressing beliefs, habits and established patterns that may no longer support the woman she is becoming.
​
The Nervous System
Supporting greater calm and the ability to respond differently to stress and change.
​
The framework is flexible rather than linear, allowing support to be tailored to each woman's individual circumstances, challenges and goals.
Support Available
Personalised 90-Minute Sessions
Focused individual support for women who would benefit from working on a specific area of change.
​
Sessions combine a personalised approach with clinical hypnotherapy and practical next steps.
Areas of support include GLP-1 & bariatric support, reconnecting with self, and sustainable habit and behaviour change.
1:1 Transforming Midlife Coaching Journey
Longer-term personalised support for women who would benefit from working more deeply across beliefs, habits, patterns and sustainable change.
​
The journey uses The Transforming Midlife Method™ as a flexible framework while remaining personalised to the individual woman and what she wants to change.
Self-Paced Support
Online programmes and resources for women who prefer to work independently, in their own time and at their own pace.
​
Support combines practical guidance with tools such as guided hypnotherapy, reflection and resources designed to help women create meaningful, sustainable change.
​
Current support includes the Midlife Sleep Reset Programme, with further midlife resources available and in development.
Complementary Support
My work is designed to complement appropriate medical and healthcare support, not replace it.
​
I do not diagnose medical conditions, alter or advise on medication, or provide medical assessment or treatment.
Where a woman's needs fall outside my professional scope, appropriate medical or mental-health support is encouraged.
Referrals & Professional Enquiries
If you are working with a woman who may benefit from additional mindset, behavioural or subconscious support through perimenopause, menopause or midlife, I welcome referrals and professional enquiries.
​
There is no need for a complicated referral process. You are welcome to contact me directly to discuss whether my support may be appropriate, or simply share my details with the woman so she can contact me herself.
​
All individual sessions are delivered online, with support available throughout New Zealand and internationally.
