Hi, I’m Emma Trafford. Whether you are entering peri-menopause or have reached menopause it is a time where you are probably feeling that you need to connect into who you are emotionally.  Often we push away what we truly feel or try to bury it by living a life of distraction.

For me, this came ever more apparent when in my mid forties I hit peri-menopause and hit a really low ebb in my life. I went to my GP for the standard 10 minute consultation and I was diagnosed with antidepressants. I never took the antidepressants because I wasn’t depressed! I just knew my body was going through changes that I didn’t fully understand.  As the symptoms started to progress and worsen with the experience of having palpitations, panic attacks and feeling tired and drained and sometimes unable to function I knew I had to take action. I’ve always had an interest in Health and Wellbeing and knew that I wanted to head into menopause using the most natural methods. For me I recognise that menopause is a natural and normal process that women go through, so I knew I wanted to find another way to manage. I recognise that this is not the course for everyone and every women has a unique journey.
