A nurse who built the help she couldn't find.
I'm Caroline, a Registered Mental Health Nurse with over fifteen years in the NHS, and I know this from both sides. I spent 25 years knowing my body wasn't right and struggling to be heard. Ten years ago a 17.5cm mass changed my life and I went into surgical menopause overnight. For seven years I had very little help and no credible answers.
Sick of feeling lost, I retrained in female health, nutrition, gut health and hormones, and studied sleep.
Now I offer nurse-led education, never diagnosis, and always a route back to your GP or specialist. You set the pace and decide what you need. No fluff, no dismissal.
Nurse-led metabolic and hormone health education for women through perimenopause and surgical or medical menopause.
A 60-minute one-to-one for women who aren't sure where to start. Whether you think you may be in perimenopause, are navigating surgical or medical menopause, or just know something feels off, we'll look at nutrition, hormones, sleep, energy, weight and lifestyle, and work out your next step. Nurse-led education, with a route back to your GP where needed with you taking the lead.
Anchor Reset: a fully guided 3-week nutrition programme to move away from dieting and understand what your body is telling you about how you feed it. It was the exact programme I built to lose 6 stone. Next start: 12 October 2026.
12-week 1:1 programme: personal, structured support built around you.
Optional: Telephone support for partners who want to understand what their loved one is going through and what she needs from them. Available 1:1 or together.
