Clarity and calm guidance, when women’s health stories are too often rushed, reduced or dismissed.

I work at the intersection of menopause, cancer, voice, and lived experience — helping women, workplaces, and health-adjacent organisations move from silence and confusion to clarity, confidence, and meaningful change.

Especially when menopause follows cancer treatment, clarity matters.

So does being heard.

This work isn’t about shouting louder.

It’s about creating space for the conversations that actually shift outcomes.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 47.

My treatment pushed me into sudden, medically-induced menopause — with little preparation, limited information, and a deep sense of identity loss I wasn’t warned about.

What followed was not just physical change, but a reckoning:
with my body,
with the health system,
with the way women are expected to quietly “cope”.

I realised how many women were navigating the same terrain — isolated, under-informed, and expected to manage profound change without adequate support.

I chose not to stay silent.

Why this work matters

I didn’t arrive here through theory alone.

What I bring to the room

I’m a speaker, podcaster, facilitator and advocate — but more importantly, I’m someone who knows how to hold space without rushing to fix.

My work blends:

  • lived experience of cancer and menopause

  • evidence-informed health communication

  • years of speaking, facilitating and teaching

  • a grounded, calm leadership style that allows difficult conversations to land safely.

I don’t perform expertise.

I create conditions where understanding can emerge — and where people leave with language, perspective, and confidence they didn’t have before.

Who this work is for

This work may resonate with you if:

  • You’re navigating menopause — especially after cancer — and feel unseen or under-supported

  • You’re tired of health conversations that feel rushed, minimised, or overly clinical

  • You work in an organisation that supports women and knows better conversations are overdue

  • You want education that respects complexity, not quick fixes

  • You value depth, integrity, and thoughtful dialogue over surface-level awareness

If that feels familiar, you’re in the right place.

Ways we might work together

Depending on what you’re responding to, I offer:

  • Speaking & facilitated conversations
    For workplaces, conferences, health organisations and community events

  • Education & advocacy
    Translating complex menopause and cancer-related experiences into accessible, human conversations

  • Menopause After Cancer support
    A dedicated space for women navigating life, identity and health after cancer-induced menopause

  • Podcast & media work
    Through Dear Menopause, sharing real stories, expert insight, and lived experience

Each pathway begins the same way: with listening.

If something here resonates, if you feel a quiet yes, you’re welcome to take the next step in whatever way feels right.

No pressure. Just an open door.
