I’m now an Associate of the Newson Health Menopause Society set up by Dr Louise Newson @My Menopause Doctor

I always want to try to keep up to date with the latest evidence based research and information along with offering fitness, lifestyle and therapies to support women through menopause and have been doing this long before the media frenzy around it in the last year. It’s good that people are talking about it but some headlines haven’t been entirely accurate.

Along with the other Menopause movement and coaching courses/CPD that I’ve done with fabulous teachers @Yinstinct Yoga, @Menopause Pilates, Carolyn Cowan and Andrea Howard, I have now completed the Newson Health Confidence In Menopause course…that’s actually for GPs!

Everything I learn helps to make my private menopause sessions, mini online and in person courses and workshops up to date and have the best techniques and advice I can give on the subject.

Educate, Ease and Empower:

*Knowledge is power, the more you know, the less anxiety there is around the subject.

*Lifestyle changes - little tweaks can make the biggest difference. Diet, stress management and exercise

*Yoga, Pilates and general exercise that can be enhanced for menopause to really care for our bones, brains, bring back a bit of joy into movement and helps with symptoms

*HRT. Whether you choose to take it or not, what are the types, risks, benefits, myths and what are the alternatives. Your body and your choice.

As well as my Well Woman Toolkit Course, I also offer online and in person peri to post menopause coaching sessions where I can give advice on the four pillars of health: exercise, nutrition, stress management and sleep as well providing the latest information on HRT and helping to formulate a set of pre-GP appointment questions, so you can be sure to get the right information and answers first time.

Vernette brings together some brilliant techniques from fabulous teachers, menopause specialists and GPs she has studied with (including doing the course designed for GPs), along with her own research over 5 years on the subject, to help bring the bodys systems into balance, create positivity, educate and empower.

You will learn different approaches to Breath Therapy, Yoga and Pilates than you’ve possibly been taught before, have an understanding of Physiology (physical systems), Biochemistry (chemical processes and hormones), Neurology (brain and nervous system) and Chronobiology (a study of biology to do with cyclical time processes). Alongside movement modalities, we will also be drawing techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Meditation and Mindfulness and Hypnotherapy, EFT, NLP and neuroscience, which can all help alleviate unwanted feelings, moods, brain fog, pains, and temperature fluctuations.

The first and best way of managing hormones is to balance the systems of the body. The easiest way to do this is through the breath. Our breathing affects the brain which affects the body.

To learn how to regulate, control and prevent the fluctuations in temperature and mood there is a way of breathing that allows women to have an altogether more pleasant and empowering way of navigating their life change. These useful, effective and easy to learn breathing techniques are combined with important visualisations and hypnotherapy to hopefully return balance and equilibrium to your physiological, psychological and emotional state.

Vernette also offers an coaching and advice service to support you if you are considering HRT. Vernette doesn't diagnose or prescribe but can provide you with the right information and evidence-based research to arm you with the right questions to ask your GP, (having done the latest course by Newson Health for GPs herself). Many GPs are not trained in Menopause as it's an optional training for them and this can lead to outdated information being given and we all trust our doctors, so not always the best and correct information is given by every doctor, so it's a great idea to get a headstart, do some research, have some notes and best still, to have it from a reliable source as opposed to Google which can blow up a mindfield of confusion and contradiction.

The Menopause Well Woman Toolkit private session package, workshops and an on demand course will be coming soon, in the meantime, private sessions are availble and will provide you with clinically proven, effective tools to help alleviate symptoms including (but not limited to):
