If you have had a baby after the age of 35, it is common for our perinatal period to overlap with the beginnings of our perimenopausal years - Yet no one really talks about this. This happened for me, and it floored me, due to a lack of awareness. If you are struggling with any emotional challenges  with the overlap of having a baby in your midlife, perimenopause or menopause  journey, please do not hesitate to contact me, by clicking the 'Contact me' button below, to find out how I can help you. 

​

I offer expert emotional & mental health support for: 

• Heightened Anxiety due to both being a new Mum and Perimenopause

• Low mood or Depression due to either being a new Mum and/or Perimenopause

• Grief for the loss the body you have known your whole life

• The total lack of a 'bounce back' after pregnancy & labour - recovery from labour truly is a different experience for you, than it is for your younger Mum friends. 

• Insomnia & sleep disruptions due to both having a young child and Perimenopause - How to cope

• Brain Fog - How to help yourself stay organised & as clear thinking as possible when your mental load is suddenly bigger than ever and your cognitive capacity is under strain with Perimenopause

• Emergence of potential (perhaps previously-masked) neurodivergence in motherhood and/or Perimenopause

• A loud inner-critical voice heightening at this time - this is common in both early motherhood and in perimenopause, so when they occur together this voice can be incredibly loud  

• Relationship changes & challenges - which are very common when two momentous life-transitions co-occur at the same time

• Rage and increased irritability due to both motherhood and/or Perimenopause 

• Stress, Overwhelm & Burnout in Motherhood and/or Perimenopause

• Resurfacing of previous/childhood traumas, due to either mothering and/or Perimenopause when you believed you had overcome your traumas in the past.
