Your experience

No two women experience menopause the same way

Symptoms differ from one woman to the next, in when they start, how strong they are and how long they stay. Many women put everyone else first, so it is easy to dismiss what you are feeling until it becomes hard to ignore.

Changing hormone levels can also change the length, flow and regularity of your cycle. That is why we start by listening to you, and not with a checklist.

Looking after your long-term health

Lower hormone levels can affect your bones and your heart over time. A Doctor can look at the full picture with you, so the symptoms you notice are not the only thing considered.
