Got a Question?
Here are some of the things women ask me most often.
If yours isn't here, just get in touch.
Who do you work with?
I mainly work with women through their menopause journey - perimenopause, or post-menopausal, and ladies in midlife who want to feel stronger, healthier and more confident. You don't need to have a particular menopause symptom - or even be menopausal - to work with me.
I'm really unfit. Can I still work with you?
Absolutely. You don't need to get fit before coming to me. Whether you haven't exercised for years, have lost confidence or simply don't know where to start, we start at your level - not somebody else's.
I'm already active. Can you still help me?
Yes. You may want to get stronger, improve your mobility or balance, train more effectively or simply make sure you're doing the right things to support your body as you get older.
What's the difference between One-to-One Coaching and Meno Move?
The simplest way to think about it is:
Meno Move - "Tell me what to do and I'll do it."
I create and progress your personalised exercise programme and you complete it independently.
One-to-One Coaching - "I need someone alongside me."
We work together more closely and can look at movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, weight, confidence, motivation and wider lifestyle changes.
Not sure? Just ask me.
How much does One-to-One Coaching cost?
A 45-minute session is £40, or a block of 10 sessions is £375. You can start with one session - there's no obligation to commit to a block.
How much is Meno Move Online?
Meno Move Online is £35 per month, with a minimum three-month commitment. After that it continues monthly with one month's notice to cancel.
This includes your initial consultation, personalised six-week exercise programmes, app access, programme progression, follow-along workouts and help through the app or WhatsApp when needed.
Additional 30-minute coaching calls can be booked for £25.
Do you offer weight management support?
Yes. If weight management is one of your goals, we can work on it as part of the bigger picture - including nutrition, movement, strength, sleep, stress and sustainable habits.
I don't offer crash diets, restrictive meal plans or quick fixes.
What if I'm using Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic or another
GLP-1 medication?
I don't advocate for or against GLP-1 medication. Whether it's right for you is a personal decision to make with an appropriate healthcare professional.
I have completed additional CPD in understanding GLP-1 medications and supporting clients who use them. If you choose to use one, I can support the lifestyle side of your journey, with particular focus on maintaining muscle and strength, staying active, supporting good nutrition and building sustainable habits.
I don't prescribe medication or advise on dosage, side effects or changes to treatment.
Do you give diet plans?
No. I'm not a dietitian and don't prescribe clinical diets. I provide practical nutrition coaching to help you improve your everyday eating habits and behaviours. Where specialist medical nutrition support is required, I'll signpost you appropriately.
Do you advise on HRT or medication?
No. I can provide general menopause education, but I don't prescribe or advise you to start, stop or change HRT or other medication. Those conversations belong with your GP or appropriate healthcare professional.
Can you diagnose menopause?
No. I don't diagnose menopause or other medical conditions. If something requires medical assessment or investigation, I'll encourage you to speak to an appropriate healthcare professional.
Can I work with you if I have an injury or medical condition?
Possibly - it depends on your circumstances. Tell me about any medical conditions, injuries, recent surgery or concerns before we begin. Where necessary, I may ask you to seek appropriate medical or clinical advice before participating.
Where are you based?
Face-to-face coaching and classes are available in Sidmouth and Newton Poppleford in East Devon. I also work online, so you don't need to live locally.
How do online sessions work?
We meet by video call using your phone, tablet or computer. If movement is part of your session, we'll work around the space and equipment you have available.
What are your classes like?
Friendly, welcoming and suitable for different abilities. You don't need to be fit before you come. My classes include strength, fitness, mobility, balance and Flow, with adaptations where appropriate.
Current times and locations can be found on my Services page.
Do you work with healthcare professionals?
Yes. I welcome appropriate signposting and collaboration with GPs, pharmacists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, and others supporting women.
My role is complementary - I provide coaching, movement and lifestyle support, not diagnosis or clinical treatment.
See For Health Professionals for more information.
Do you offer workplace menopause support?
Yes. I provide bespoke menopause awareness, education and wellbeing sessions for organisations, including sessions for women, managers, colleagues and partners.

What qualifications do you have?
I'm professionally trained across menopause wellness, menopause movement, women's coaching, nutrition and weight management, exercise for older adults, sleep, stress and recovery.
You can see my full professional background on the About Me page.
I don't know what I need - can I still contact you?
Absolutely.
You don't need to choose a service before contacting me.
Tell me what's happening, what you're struggling with and what you'd like to change. I'll help you work out whether I can support you and which option might suit you best.
And if what you need falls outside my scope, I'll tell you that too.
What makes your approach different?
I don't focus on one symptom or hand you a generic plan. I look at the whole picture - movement, strength, nutrition, sleep, stress, self-care, confidence and the habits that shape everyday life.
My approach combines professional training with lived experience, so the support is practical, personal and realistic. There are no quick fixes, punishing diets or pressure to become the woman you were before.
We start with where you are now and help you become stronger, healthier and more confident from here.
