Loving Life In The Menopause - The Master Class

Does the very thought of walking through the Menopause years cause you to break out in a cold sweat - never mind a hot flush?

Are you already experiencing the classic symptoms that women are told to expect, but never really prepared for?

Has anyone really given you the time and expertise you need to understand what exactly is going on in your body? Or have you been left to figure it all out on your own, doing your best to cope with the changes that are going on, but without being equipped at all?

As women, we are very aware of how our bodies are behaving, but that doesn't mean we understand them, nor how to make the best of them. Hormonal changes can confuse, embarrass, frustrate and, at times, overwhelm us can't they? So we believe it's time that you had some help, some support, and some answers!

Succeed From The Start is delighted to bring you an opportunity to take part in discovering a new and innovative approach to thriving through the Menopause years. We have invited a team of four experts in their field, to create a series of events though which the hormonal, physical and emotional changes a woman's body goes through will be explored; questions will be answered; and new insights will be shared about this important part of a woman's life.

Working as a team, our experts, Pamela Igwe, Jenni Russell, Gill Rouledge and Fiona Whytehead (see bekow) will introduce you to new thoughts and ideas around the Menopause years and how best we can both approach them, and then go through them.

Participants will learn how they can understand their body and their hormonal changes; rhey will hear how to regain strength in the pelvic floor, something that is barely talked about; they will find help in negotiating the rollercoaster of emotions that can make such an impact during these years, and they will discover how to live confidently in every situation!

We can't wait to see women take hold of their feminine intuition and understanding, using it to empower themselves, and to respect themselves no metter what their life situation is.

Many women think it simply isn't possible to love life during their Menopause years, and that the only possible way to do that is to use medication. We're here to show you a different way; a way that will empower you with improved health, physical strength, calmer emotions and greater confidence. In fact, we'd be delighted to help you to 'love life through the Menopause'!

Fiona Whytehead, of Locus Coaching, helps people to develop their own strong, influential, inspirational voice to speak to anyone, anywhere and…enjoy it.

Many women find that they either figuratively or literally lose their voice and their confidence while going through Menopause, often causing major impact on their professional , and their personal life. Using her ability to listen intently, and taking her cue from her clients, Fiona is able to bring clarity and confidence back, so that clients begin to find the freedom to express themselves again; a freedom they had often feared was lost all together.

After working with Fiona, Adelle said:

“Fiona actually unlocked the unlockable and I found my voice. I gained confidence with my voice and importantly learned how to look after it as, professionally, I spend my time coaching and presenting.”

Since 2005, Fiona has run workshops, training courses, and led one-to-one coaching sessions, enabling her clients not only to become first-class speakers with gravitas, but also great communicators, secure in their own physical presence, in their personal lives as well as at work.

Fiona brings experience, qualifications, and skills from her previous professions as an actor, and as a professional fundraiser raising millions of pounds for many “difficult” causes. An accomplished senior executive coach, clients tell her that they admire her high energy, expertise, and focus. They appreciate her ability to make them feel comfortable with being challenged in order to move forward - no mean feat when working with those who are used to being in control!

If you're finding yourself struggling with the physical and emotional challenges brought to you by your Menopause, then Fiona will be the perfect fit for you! With energy, creativity and inspiration, Fiona will guide you into regaining any lost self esteem so you can thrive again, and enjoy life to the full!
