My approach to my practice at Holistic Menopause is a uniquely, integrated and holistic one combining practices from ancient eastern traditions with more modern practices from the west to heal, ‘whole’ and inspire you on your menopause journey.
What an Integrated Approach means to me.
An Integrative approach involves selecting tools, techniques and resources from different therapeutic orientations tailored to your individual needs.

I use eastern modalities such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Yoga, Meditation,Pranayama, and Sound, Energetic and Vibrational Medicine in a uniquely intertwined way with more modern western practices such as EFT, CBT, flower essences and aromatherapy to support and empower you.
I support you, as a qualified Holistic and Wellbeing Menopause Practitioner by offering one-to-one mentoring sessions. Offering complementary and alternative information, tools and resources, to help you to manage your symptoms and gain greater self understanding, awareness and empowerment during this time of transition. In addition, as a group facilitator, I run, workshops, women’s circles and talks, holding you in a safe and confidential space online and in person. Held spaces where you can come to connect, learn and share with others who know just what you are going through on your menopause journey.
The purpose of my work is to support, empower, educate and inspire you through your menopause transition.
What A Holistic Approach Means To me.
To me, a holistic approach means to provide support that looks at and meets the needs of the whole woman during her Menopause transition. Focussing on how a woman’s menopause transition effects her health, wellbeing and vitality as a whole and not just addressing her physical symptoms that may be presenting at any given time.

Eastern traditions tell us that mind and body are connected and that to live in a whole, authentic and complete way, that is in alignment with our higher truth, that we need to unify mind, body and spirit. To become whole in all aspects of our being. And, so my approach at Holistic Menopause considers, as a whole, the needs of a woman’s physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.
Every woman, whatever stage she may be at in her transition and wherever she may live in the world, will have a different experience of the menopause. Her own unique journey into the 2nd Spring/post menopause phase of her life can be influenced by many factors such as age, gender, culture, heritage, language, faith, sexual and gender identity, relationship status, life experience and beliefs.
I believe that it is important not to assume that we all travel the same path during our transition. Listening, inquiring, and learning about each woman’s individual experience is key to the holistic approach that I use.

The Gift Of The Menopause
The menopause is a hugely powerful time of transition in a woman’s life. A deeply spiritual and meaningful transition in a woman’s life, that gifts her a 2nd chance at life, to start all over again. A 2nd chance to rebirth, to renew and reform in the time of her life known in the east as her second spring/post menopause phase. To re-birth in a more empowered, whole, true and authentic state from which she can then embrace the 2nd (post menopause) phase of her life in a meaningful, empowered and authentic way.
Sophia Grace
I see the menopause as a Spiritual process, a natural stage of life. Not an illness or something that is wrong with us and/or needs to be fixed but an opportunity to further our spiritual journey. An opportunity to heal , to become whole, authentic and true. It is a time that brings with it, should we choose to embrace a different viewpoint, an alternative to outdated ways of seeing the menopause transition instilled by society, a gift and opportunity to gain great wisdom, reconnection to our divine feminine power, freedom from our past, and re-connection to our truth of higher meaning, purpose and self.
The menopause provides us with a great opportunity for increased self healing, self wholing, self awareness, self growth, self actualisation, and self empowerment…yes that’s a lot of change on our ‘selfs’ :o) and that’s because there is a lot of your ‘self’ that you have the gift, right and opportunity to uncover, discover and re-claim during this time of transition. It is your “Self”, the self that is your innate divine feminine being, wisdom and truth that is my honour to support and help you to re-connect to during your menopause transition.
My approach very much allows you to re-connect to and dive into the innate wisdom, truth and divine feminine essence that lies within you to enable you to reconnect to and draw upon your own unique inner guidance, knowledge, wisdom, tools and resources that lie within. Enabling you to not only use your unique power, knowledge and inner resources to support you and your need on your transition but also that allows you to dive in to and discover the grace, power, beauty, magic and wisdom that lies before you at this time of transition.
My approach, passion and purpose is to help you to
Reconnect to your higher self and truth. You whole, authentic , spiritual self . Who you really are .
Find higher meaning and purpose in your life
Express your unique Divine Feminine essence and awaken to the depths of your soul’s own unique purpose, light and magic.
Reconnect to your Divine Feminine wisdom, truth, knowledge and resources for self healing, self empowerment and spiritual growth.
Find higher a new healing, wholing and empowering view of the menopause transition:
Who Is Holistic Menopause For?
Whilst HRT is now prescribed in the UK and can help with many of the symptoms experienced, it is contra-indicated for many women who e.g. have a history of breast cancer or coronary heart disease in their families.
Whether you chose or are able to take HRT or not to support you during your transition the services I offer at Holistic Menopause can help you.
My approach is very much one that is both alternative and complementary to medical interventions. A natural and sustainable approach that integrated into your daily life alongside existing medical interventions for greater knowledge, awareness, understanding, self; growth, healing, care and support.
In my practice, I support, honour and value the choices of all women without judgement, whether they choose to take the medical route e.g with HRT, or alternative/complementary path to support their transition. But the focus of my work is not on the medicalised approach to supporting the menopause. I am not a medical professional and so am not qualified to offer that advice on medical care. I can educate you, inform you and sign post you, sharing with you the knowledge, awareness and understanding that I have gained and researched through my own menopause transition, during my 20 years of practise in the field the complementary therapy, and also during and after my training as a specialist Holistic and Wellbeing Menopause Practitioner and Menopause yoga teacher.
