Did you know? Around 1 in 4 women consider leaving their job because of the impact of their menopause symptoms

Menopause coaching for women who are done being told it’s just stress

You’re not losing your mind.

You’re navigating menopause or perimenopause.

And I’m here to tell you – the exhaustion, anxiety, brain fog, low mood, sleep disruption and loss of confidence you’re experiencing are NOT PERSONAL FAILURES.

I’m Debbie, and I help midlife women understand what’s happening in their bodies and gently rebuild clarity, confidence and capacity.

You haven’t suddenly become less capable.

You haven’t lost your edge.

And this isn’t a confidence problem you should be able to “mindset” your way out of.

What you’re experiencing is what happens when hormonal change collides with years of being everything to everyone, all of the time, often without rest.

Perimenopause and menopause don’t just affect periods.  They affect sleep, mood, focus, emotional regulation, confidence, and stress tolerance.  This isn’t you falling apart, one symptom at a time.

It’s a biological shift that can be understood and supported.

I have experienced Debbie’s coaching and master classes first hand, and would highly recommend her. Her down to earth approach, combined with a real understanding of not only menopause symptoms, but also the physiological changes occurring within the body, make her a great source of knowledge. As a HR Consultant myself, I would also recommend Debbie to other consultants or businesses who want to take menopause seriously in the workplace.

I’ve joined a few of Debbie’s coaching calls now and honestly, every single one has given me something new to take away. The knowledge she shares around “the M word” is backed up with facts and real insight, but she explains everything in such an easy-to-understand way. Debbie never takes a one-size-fits-all approach. She shapes each session around the people in the room and their businesses, making every call engaging and valuable. I always come away with practical ideas I can actually use, as well as a much better understanding of the topics we’ve covered. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely cares about helping people and businesses grow, I’d definitely recommend Debbie.

I am just in awe of you Debbie, knowing a little bit about where you have come from, what you have been through, and to hear you sounding so strong and in your power, despite your challenges, well, for me, there is no better person to guide me through this next phase of life, I think you put on a BRILLIANT workshop and I can’t wait to see/hear more from you! Debbie was very skilled at leading us all through it and giving us all a chance to speak up - she's a natural! The session reminded me that that was what I needed to do, and that if she can do it, so can I! 🙂

Debbie was a brilliant workshop facilitator - taking great care of everyone in the space, ensuring we all had a chance to share - asking probing questions with fun and warmth. The workshop left me feeling taken care of and energised.

You need to know this: what you’re experiencing isn’t random, and it’s not just you.

The hardest part of perimenopause and menopause is not the hot flushes or the periods.


It is what happens to your brain, your sleep, and your sense of who you are.

You’re not losing your mind – you’re losing oestrogen.

As oestrogen falls, it often exposes something that has been quietly building for years: a nervous system that has become dysregulated over time.

You may have spent decades pushing through stress, carrying more than you ever admitted to yourself, and being the one everyone relied on.

When hormonal change meets a system like this, your capacity to cope can suddenly drop.

This is not weakness.

It is a nervous system under strain during a major biological transition.

And when you understand that, it becomes much less frightening.

The numbers nobody tells you:

It’s not you.

You’re not falling apart.

What you’re experiencing is a very human response to a major neuro hormonal transition.

Perimenopause Waking at 3am? How to Fix It

Perimenopause Waking at 3am? How to Fix It

If you’re waking at 3am in perimenopause, it’s usually progesterone. It declines before oestrogen does, and it declines sharply. Progesterone is what keeps you asleep, so when it crashes, 3am is where you feel it first. It starts at 3am. You wake up, surprised. You check the clock. Waaay too…

What Does a Menopause Coach Do?

What Does a Menopause Coach Do?

No, I had no idea either! Before I became one, I thought a menopause coach was someone who made menopausal women run up hills while shouting motivational quotes. (Turns out that is a thing. I saw it on Bad Sisters.) That’s a hell nooooo from me. But then as I got curiouser,…

Am I in Perimenopause?

Am I in Perimenopause?

The honest answer (and why every woman ends up Googling dementia at some point). Who the f*** knows, and honey, that’s just a small part of the fun. And no, it isn’t fun, but I was just preparing you to be gaslit in a way you never have been before,…

Who I Work With: Midlife Women in Perimenopause and Menopause

I work with high achieving midlife women navigating the intersection of life, health, and demanding careers.

Women just like you.

Women who care deeply about their work and about who they are becoming and unbecoming at this stage of life.

Women who are still functioning, but with far less capacity than they used to have.

Women who are earning well, but quietly worrying about how much longer they can keep doing this.

Women who have been trying very hard to keep everything together and who now need somewhere safe to let it all out.

Women who have realised this isn’t going to pass, and would like some specialist support.


Somewhere they are seen. And understood.

I work with women who arrive concerned by how much has changed, and unsure whether they can trust their own mind and body again and who leave more energised, and with a renewed sense of who they are.

In our work together, I support you to:

  • stabilise sleep and reduce night waking
  • reduce brain fog and improve concentration
  • reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation
  • rebuild confidence in your thinking and decision-making
  • improve your mental and physical resilience
  • and yes, even look at that menopause-fuelled weight gain slowly
  • and often to your own surprise, you begin to recognise yourself again.

The same intelligent, capable woman you have always been, but operating with renewed clarity, deeper confidence, and total control over your own life.

Menopause is not the end of your best years.

It is a signal to pause, recalibrate, and shape, with intention, what you want your next chapter to look like.

If you’re wondering where to start, a confidential call is a good first step,

to talk through what’s happening for you and decide together what would be most helpful.

There is no pressure to decide anything in advance.

We start with one conversation, and take it from there.
