peri-menopause
Plan
small cohort coaching programme that will equip you with the skills and know-how to take control of your peri-menopause journey, reduce the impact of symptoms, and thrive through midlife
launching soon!
peri-menopause
/ˌper.iˈmen.ə.pɔːz/] noun
- referring to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause
- derived from the Latin root of "WTF is happening to me?"
As you're here I'm willing to bet there is a strong chance you are someone that is ...
✔ overwhelmed by peri-menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, memory loss and lack of motivation
✔finding it increasingly difficult to juggle all of life's demands (work, school aged children, aging parents or family members, relationships, health concerns, societal pressures etc.)
✔ physically and emotionally as taut as a bad 80's face lift
✔ experiencing unhelpful thoughts that only add to feelings of overwhelm, inadequacy, guilt, shame, weakness, incompetence and vulnerability
✔ tired of hating the way your body looks and feeling confused about how to nourish your body during this phase of your life with all the conflicting, diet-centred 'advice' out there
✔ feeling confused by what is happening to your body and misunderstood by those that surround you (this may even include your GP)
But what if your peri-menopause was just the beginning of something unbelievably wonderful?
This is my passion and my mission with the Proactive Peri-menopause Plan.
I can help you rewrite the rulebook!
So what are your goals for your peri-menopause?
do you want to ..?
be in the drivers seat rather than feeling overwhelmed by career, family, societal (etc.) demands and pressures
1
2
feel in control of symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings + anxiety rather than blindsided by them
3
swap guilt and shame associated with food and activity for freedom, joy and excitement
4
experience a new lease of life + at peace with yourself rather than feeling exhausted and at war with your changing body
5
reduce your risk of common health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis
Research shows "the experience of menopause is influenced by ... the ways in which women approach changes in this phase of life".
And, here's the thing ... you have a choice. Out of everything that influences your peri-menopause you have the most control over your mindset.
The good news? Your positivity, adaptability and resilience skills can be enhanced so that your experience of peri-menopause is everything you want it to be.
by giving yourself the physical and mental space you need for some much deserved R&R you'll have more energy and experience less severe and less frequent sympotoms such as anxiety and digestive issues
you will learn more about yourself, menopause, and your long-term health so that you can make informed decisions to protect aginst age related illnesses including heart disease and osteoporosis
you'll experience more happiness, gratitude, and acceptance by developing your resilience using tried and tested methods
Sound too good to be true?
I promise you, it's not.
It is well documented that women in other cultures have completely different beliefs and opinions about menopause, which sees them approaching this stage of life optimistically and contributes to them experiencing far milder symptoms and greater freedoms than what is seen in the West ...
in Japan ...
the word for menopause means renewal and energy.
in China ...
it is a time for enjoying the energy previously used for child-bearing & fertility
in India ...
menopause is viewed as a natural stage of life that brings many benefits.
in the Middle East ...
it can be a time of renewed life, greater inclusion, and a higher position in society
but first ...
let me introduce myself
Hi, I'm
Kierra!
Yoga teacher, aspirational DIY-er, world traveller, avid reader of trashy rom-coms, marvel fan and watcher of Parks and Rec on repeat! Oh, and one of Loki's favourite humans (most of the time).
As a health and wellbeing coach for women finding peri-menopause challenging and overwhelming, I’m here to simplify the $h*t out identifying how you can make incremental changes that will relieve daily stress and protect long-term health.
With almost a decade of experience working in the world of health promotion and behaviour change - I've got your back!
Over recent years I have delivered Workplace Menopause Awareness training to corporate clients and am always surprised to discover how little most people knew, even the women experiencing it at that time.
With many women commenting they had no idea what was happening to them, or that they were only expecting hot flushes.
Most of them found it challenging to navigate menopause within the work environment and felt isolated and misunderstood.
In health assessments, women in their 40's would list off common peri-menopausal symptoms, feeling like they were loosing their minds, with no idea that changes in their hormones may be behind it all.
Ultimately, the way we approach menopause can have an impact on our experience of it.
Enter: The Proactive Perimenopause Plan & the THRIVE.5 Formula!
Aka a 5-step evidence-based framework + interactive exercises and challenges + expert support (from me and some of my incredibly talented friends) + an instant support system of likeminded queens to take you from confused and overwhelmed to embracing this next chapter of your life.
(sounds pretty awesome, right?!)
I want to support you to proactively face the menopausal transition head on, armed with knowledge, self-awareness, loads of support and a bunch of tools in your arsenal so you can exceed your own expectations and thrive mentally, physically and emotionally during this new phase.
If that sounds like a bit of you now is the time. Get excited because it’s about to be ALL yours.
love,
Kierra

lets take a sneak peek ...
Introduction
what I need to know about menopause
Before you can start taking proactive action its important to ensure your understanding of the physiological process of menopause is robust and how the Proactive Peri-menopause Plan can improve your experience of the menopause.
You'll get answers to all of your questions including the following ...
- what can I expect during peri-menopause and beyond?
- when will I stop experiencing peri-menopuase symptoms?
- where do I start when making mindset and lifestyle changes?
- how do I set goals that are achieveable and inline with my values?
walk away with a greater understanding of what to expect during peri-menopause and highlight your own health + wellbeing priorities and goals
Module 1
Bountiful Outlook - Abundance Mindset
Peri-menopause is fundamentally a time of change, whilst some of these changes may be welcomed, others like mood swings and hot flushes can leave you feeling like crap.
The good news is you don't have to feel like you're at the mercy of your hormones - you still have control of how you view any stage of your life. In this module we'll explore how to view the ups and downs of peri-menopause from a positive mindset.
Research shows those that those who approach peri-menopause with a more negative mindset experience more frequent and severe symptoms, such as hot flushes and irritability, compared to those that view peri-menopause more positively.
are you ready for a shift in your
peri-menopause mindset?
Module 2
Self-Compassion - Cultivating Kindness
Midlife women are under enormous pressure in their personal and professional lives, often juggling family commitments with increasing career responsibilities. Add the unpredictability of peri-menopause to the mix, and it’s no surprise that women’s well-being statistically reaches an all-time low point at midlife.
Practising self-compassion has the potential to help women manage the transition without feeling overwhelmed. Research suggests that those with higher levels of self-compassion receive an important protective factor that helps them cope; reporting peri-menopause symptoms like hot flushes interfered less with their daily life, and ultimately reduced risk of experiencing depression.
learn how to silence your inner critic to make you peri-menopause experience better
Module 3
Downshift - Burnout to Balance
For some women, going through peri-menopause can feel stressful in itself. The unpredicatble fluctuation of hormones during peri-menopause alters the way you are able to physically and emotionally respond to stress and can contribute to feelings of depression and anxiety, as well as triggering and/or perpetuating certain symptoms including changed libido, digestive issues and insomnia.
Your peri-menopausal transition has the opportunity to be a positive and freeing life-changing experience; it can be a time to evaluate your life: to look at your career, relationships, and lifestyle to build the best and most supportive life you can. Finding your own unique way to prevent and manage the stressors in your life to limit their impact on your symptoms.
are you ready to downshift your life to allow your body the space to thrive?
Module 4
Joyful Movement - Re-Discover Enjoyable Activity
We all know being regularly active is good for us, but did you know it can help to reduce the occurrence and severity of peri-menopause symptoms which are provoked or perpetuated by stress and lifestyle pressures, and protect against common post-menopause health conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease.
Joyful movement is the rejection of the diet culture mentality of moving your body to manipulate its appearance or earn our food, and instead embraces the freedom of moving your body for the pure unadulterated pleasure of it. No lycra or gym membership required (unless those things bring you joy!)
reduce symptoms and protect long-term health whilst having fun!
Module 5
Gentle Nutrition - Finidng Food Freedom
The bodily changes that come with aging and hormone declines are natural and beautiful - but they may not be all that comfortable. I know from working with women experiencing their peri-menopausal transition that food, nutrition and body image are high on their list of concern.
After all, we live in a world where there are more "solutions" to weight gain than peri-menopause symptoms!
Building on what you have discovered in previous modules about mindset and self-compassion, the aim of this module is to establish a harmonious relationship with food, eating and your body.
what sort of relationship would you like to have with food and body image?
and don't forget you'll also get all of these amazing features to support you throughout ...

still got some questions?
I DON'T HAVE A FORMAL DIAGNOSIS FROM MY GP - can I still join in?
I 100% advocate speaking to your GP about menopause and your experience, the only person who can really confirm peri-menopause is you
Ultimately, you know your body and you know when things are changing - you can self-confirm peri-menopause with an understanding of the symptoms you are experiencing and awareness of your menstrual cycle. Testing hormone levels is often inconclusive as your hormones fluctuate greatly throughout your cycle,
Peri-menopause will get us all at somepoint and the majority of women in their 40's will be experiencing hormonal fluctuations to some degree even if their period hasn't changed.
If you're not quite there yet but wan't to be prepared we'd love to have you on board. You'll learn a whole bunch from the other ladies on your cohort.
Ultimately, getting a head start on preparing for peri-menopause will only work to your advantage.
IS THERE A REFUND POLICY?
Absolutely! The Proactive Peri-menopause Plan comes with a risk-free 7-day 100% money-back guarantee.
I'd obviously love you to stick around but if you decide the course isn't for you after having a look around I won't argue.
But please don't be that person who joins just to check out all the material and leave, you might be able to go it alone but why not give our community a chance?
WHAT IS SMALL COHORT COACHING?
Group coaching has been shown to be a powerful and effective coaching technique for empowering people to improve their health, wellbeing, personal strengths, self-confidence, and beyond!
Our small cohort setup offers you an instant community of understanding and support, full of other members sharing similiar experiences.
You'll have access to the course content from day one and can work your way through it at your own pace, but we all know how life can get in the way sometimes. Being part of a cohort means more accountability - a gentle kick up the bum when you need it most!
are you able to give medical advice?
That's a big fat no guys!
I am not a medical professional, and even if I was it would be completely unethical to be handing out medical advice without knowing your full history (please keep that in mind incase others tell you otherwise!!).
What we will do on this course is discuss common symptoms and health conditions, and how simple changes to our lifestyles and mindsets may help alleviate stress, reduce any negative experiences of symptoms and lay the foundations for a healthy future.
I'M SO BUSY. HOW LONG IS THE TIME COMMITMENT UNTIL I SEE RESULTS?
I hear ya! You've got enough going on already, right? Modern day life is hectic to say the least. But you can't pour from an empty cup, prioritising yourself and your wellbeing is essential to being able to support others.
The Proactive Peri-menopause Plan enables you to plan how to make incremental changes that build gradually over time so you achieve your goals without breaking a sweat (unless that's you're goal!) AND without wasting time on stuff that isn't doing exactly this.
This launch will be delivered as follows:
- From the beginning of January you will have access to the Introduction module and workbook
- Weekly live group chats held on Tuesday evenings at 19:30 starting on 10th Jan until 7th Feb
- Content and resources will be released weekly inline with that weeks module
You'll have access to all content (and any new stuff added at any time in the future) for as long as you want it. You're kinda stuck with me now 😉
WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I ENROLL?
A week before the course begins you'll receive a welcome email containing all the information you need to access our amazing online corse platform.
You’ll also receive an invite to join our private Facebook group where you’ll meet me others that are already enrolled, this is also where live events will be held.
A Whatsapp group chat for your cohort group will be set up prior to the start of the course so you can get to know each other before we get started.
I think my workplace would benefit from some training?
you will learn some fantastic stuff on this course than you can take back into the workplace with you to help build a culture of understanding and inclusion.
You will also receive a discount voucher for specialised workplace training as part of your investment in the course, check this out and share it with your team!
