Our Stories and Expertise
Sara Hawkins
Founder
I’m Sara, a menopause wellbeing specialist and a woman navigating perimenopause myself. Despite a career in public health, wellbeing strategy and behavioural science, this stage of life has been more complex and emotionally demanding than I ever expected. I realised how hard it is to find clear, compassionate, evidence‑based support.
With over twenty years’ experience across the NHS, charity sector and global organisations, and training in public health, CBT, menopause care, nutrition and weight management, I’ve spent my career helping people understand their thoughts, behaviours and wellbeing in a practical, empowering way. That blend of professional expertise and lived experience shapes everything I do.
My mission is to make perimenopause and menopause feel less overwhelming and more manageable, offering guidance that’s calm, clear and genuinely useful in everyday life. I want women to have what I needed: clarity, confidence and someone in their corner who truly understands. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this stage without support.
