As a health coach with a background in nursing and pilates my passion lies in providing support and guidance to make positive change for women during midlife and heading into Menopause. Perimenopause and midlife in general is a transformative time and can be a challenging journey for many women. Focusing and working on the pillars of health can empower you to embrace these changes with confidence.

Pillars of Health

  • Nutrition: A balanced diet plays a crucial role in managing symptoms associated with perimenopause. Incorporating nutrient-dense foods can help alleviate issues such as mood swings, weight gain, and fatigue. Focus on eating wholefoods diet and explore ways to make make good food choices and sustainable changes.

  • Movement: Regular physical activity enhances overall well-being and combats common perimenopausal symptoms. Pilates is particularly beneficial, it helps builds strength, and improves mobility and flexibilty. Tailoring your exercise routine to your body’s changing needs can help you maintain energy levels and reduce stress.

  • Sleep: Prioritising restful sleep is essential, especially as hormonal changes can disrupt your sleep patterns. Establishing a calming night time routine and creating a sleep-friendly environment can greatly improve your quality of rest.

  • Stress Management: Managing stress effectively is key during perimenopause. Consider incorporating mindfulness practices such as meditation, or deep breathing into your daily routine. Explore ways to manage stress that can fit in with your routine.

  • Community and Support: Connecting with others who are experiencing similar challenges can be incredibly beneficial. . Sharing experiences and tips with other women fosters a sense of connection and can make the journey feel less isolating.

Focusing on these pillars of health will not only assist in managing the symptoms of perimenopause but will also empower you to thrive during this stage of life. Embrace this time as an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and invest in your well-being!
