After more than thirty years of experience in healthcare and pharmacy, I found my calling in supporting women through menopause. My background is in basic medical knowledge, orthomolecular therapy and hormone balance.
I have worked as a pharmacy assistant, later as an account manager in the pharmaceutical industry, and then in my own practice for orthomolecular therapy. I now use that combination of knowledge and experience as a hormone therapist at SeeMe-nopause.
I believe that personal support and attention to each woman's individual experience makes all the difference. Every woman experiences her menopause differently. This is a time that deserves attention, rest and care.
Menopause is the beginning of your second, powerful adulthood.
I see menopause as a natural transition in a woman's life, not as a disease or an illness. The body changes as nature intended. However, symptoms can arise if there is a mismatch between what the body needs and the way we live.
This can be caused by factors such as:
In other cultures, women often experience fewer symptoms. This shows how strongly lifestyle and environment play a part. Self-care is therefore incredibly important during this phase of life.
The perimenopause and the first few years that follow are a critical window. If mild symptoms are left unaddressed, they can later develop into more serious health problems. By bringing your body back into balance, you can prevent, relieve or even eliminate many symptoms.
When the ovaries stop functioning, the adrenal glands take over part of the hormone production. If you often live in 'fight-or-flight' mode, they mainly produce stress hormones, meaning your sex hormones are often neglected.
That's why I often say: apply the brakes more often. Rest is essential. I call it Vitamin R. You will find that relaxation benefits your health on every level.
At SeeMe-nopause, I support women who want to better understand their hormone balance. Together, we explore the root cause of symptoms and how nutrition, exercise and relaxation can help.
My goal is to give women insight into their bodies so they can make choices with confidence. Step by step, at their own pace. My support focuses not only on reducing symptoms but also on boosting energy, resilience and confidence in your own body.
I also share my knowledge in blogs, serve as a medical specialist to review texts, and suggest topics currently relevant to menopause. In this way, I help to make reliable, up-to-date information available to every woman who wants to take her health into her own hands.
After my orthomolecular training, I began to delve deeper into hormones. Many people think of oestrogen or progesterone, but our bodies produce many more hormones.
Think of:
All these hormones work together in a finely tuned system. Sometimes you produce too few hormones, or they don't reach the cells properly. This can disrupt bodily processes, resulting in fatigue, irritability or sleep problems.
By bringing your hormone levels into better balance, you will have more energy, sleep better and feel calmer.
Small lifestyle adjustments can often make a huge difference to your level of comfort.
