I still remember the first time a client—a senior executive at the peak of her career—sat across from me and quietly confessed, “I feel like I’m losing everything. I’m not sleeping, I’m anxious, and I can’t talk about it at work.” She was navigating menopause, and despite her professional success, she felt isolated and overwhelmed by the changes she was experiencing.

Her story is far from unique. As a life coach, mindfulness practitioner, and reflexologist, I have had the privilege of supporting many professional women through the often-unspoken challenges of menopause. The journey is deeply personal, but the struggles are widely shared: hot flushes in meetings, sudden dips in confidence, brain fog, and the emotional rollercoaster that can leave even the most accomplished women feeling adrift.

Coaching: Empowerment for Women in Leadership

There have been many others, like the project manager who was always in control—until menopause arrived. She found herself questioning her abilities and struggling to keep up with her demanding role. Through coaching, we worked together to identify her unique strengths, set new goals, and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms at work.

Recent research supports what I see every day: coaching provides a confidential, judgment-free space to explore challenges like shifting identity, work-life balance, and changing energy levels. Studies have shown that coaching boosts resilience, positivity, and a sense of purpose—helping women not just cope, but truly thrive. Many of my clients describe coaching as “essential” for their wellbeing, a place where they can be honest, reflect, and move forward with renewed confidence.

Mindfulness: Evidence-Based Relief for Menopausal Symptoms

Mindfulness is another cornerstone of my practice. Picture this: a busy finance director, always on the go, learns to pause and breathe through a simple, yet powerful mindfulness exercise I showed her. Over time, she notices her anxiety lessening, her sleep improving, and her ability to respond—rather than react—to stress growing stronger.

This isn’t just anecdotal. Recent randomized controlled trials have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can significantly reduce anxiety, stress, and depression in menopausal women. Mindfulness helps improve physical, psychosocial, and even sexual wellbeing. It’s not just about meditation; it’s about cultivating awareness and acceptance, so you can face challenges with calm and clarity. For professional women, these tools are invaluable for maintaining performance and balance during menopause.

I've supported lots of women to go and grab a few minutes in the kitchen, their car, even the loos, or a small meeting room to help them find calm and clarity when it's most needed. These check-ins, as I call them, are invaluable!

Reflexology: Natural Support for Body and Mind

And then there’s reflexology—a gentle, hands-on therapy that many of my clients describe as their “reset button.” One client, found that regular reflexology sessions dramatically reduced her hot flushes and helped her finally get a good night’s sleep. She left each session feeling deeply relaxed and more in tune with her body.

Research backs up these experiences. Reflexology has been shown to significantly reduce hot flushes, insomnia, and anxiety, while improving sleep quality and overall wellbeing. It offers deep relaxation and supports hormonal balance, making it an ideal complement to coaching and mindfulness for a holistic support plan.
