Menopause changes the brain.
Your life doesn’t have to shrink because of it.
Neuroscience-informed coaching for women navigating perimenopause and menopause — supporting clarity, emotional steadiness, confidence, and cognitive resilience during a profound life transition.
If you’re “not feeling like yourself”, you’re not imagining it.
For many women, menopause brings more than physical symptoms. It can affect memory, focus, sleep, emotional regulation, motivation, and confidence — often at a time when life is already demanding more.
These changes are not a personal failing. They are linked to real, well-documented shifts in how the brain responds to hormones, stress, and cognitive load — changes that are rarely explained, and often navigated alone.
Understanding these changes allows us to work with the brain rather than against it. This is where neuroscience-informed coaching can help.
Why a brain-based approach matters
During perimenopause and menopause, changes in estrogen influence key brain systems involved in:
Emotional regulation and stress response
Memory, focus, and mental clarity
Sleep and recovery
Motivation, energy, and resilience
When these systems are under strain, familiar strategies often stop working. Pushing harder, relying on willpower, or self-criticism can increase cognitive load rather than relieve it.
A neuroscience-informed approach helps make sense of what’s happening in the brain and translates that understanding into practical ways of working with it. In coaching, neuroscience is applied in lived, accessible ways that support:
steadier nervous system regulation
reduced overwhelm and reactivity
clearer thinking and decision‑making
renewed self‑trust during uncertainty
This approach supports understanding, capacity, and self-compassion at a time when many women are expecting themselves to function as they always have, despite real neurological change.
This is not medical treatment.
It is education-based, evidence-informed coaching that complements healthcare and supports adaptation during change.
This coaching may be right for you if …
You are in perimenopause or postmenopause and feel cognitively or emotionally “off”
You are capable and experienced, yet frustrated by changes you can’t willpower away
You want evidence-informed support
You are navigating identity, work, or life transitions alongside menopause
You value thoughtful, brain-based understanding that respects your lived experience, rather than quick fixes
Menopause and the Brain - How we work together
Individual 1:1 Coaching
This coaching is for women who want space, clarity, and support during the neurological and emotional changes of menopause.
Working one-to-one allows the coaching to adapt to your pace, context, and cognitive load. This is particularly important during a period of fluctuation and uncertainty, when concentration, emotional tolerance, and energy may vary from day to day.
Coaching may include:
understanding how hormonal shifts affect brain function, stress, and attention
developing brain-based strategies for emotional steadiness and recovery
working with internal narratives shaped by fatigue, self-doubt, or overwhelm
rebuilding confidence and self-trust during change
The focus is not on fixing symptoms, but on increasing understanding, capacity, and choice during a complex transition.
Group Programs and Workshops
These are offered separately from individual coaching and include small group programs and workshops, including workplace menopause education.
These offerings are educational and skill-focused, and may be well suited to:
workplaces or organisations supporting women through menopause in a non-clinical contect
teams seeking shared language around brain health, stress, and cognitive load
cohort-based learning focused on menopause, mindfulness, and resilience
1:1 coaching is not a prerequisite for group work. These are distinct formats, designed for different contexts and needs.
Coaching for Women Beyond Menopause
While this page focuses on menopause, the same neuroscience-informed coaching approach also supports women navigating other periods of change — including leadership challenges, burnout, confidence shifts, and major personal or professional transitions.
If you’re not in menopause but are seeking thoughtful, grounded, evidence-informed coaching to support clarity and resilience, you’re welcome here.

Grounded in Science. Led by Curiosity and Compassion
This work is informed by contemporary neuroscience and translated into practical coaching that honours complexity, uncertainty, and individual experience.
I don’t offer quick fixes or one-size-fits-all answers. I offer understanding, structure, and support during a transition that deserves more than dismissal.
You Don’t Have To Navigate This Alone
Menopause is a neurological and emotional transition, not a personal failure.
With the right understanding and support, it can become a period of re-calibration, integration, and renewed agency.
