Trained as a menopause consultant after her own experience with early menopause following breast cancer treatment.

At the age of 39, following treatment for breast cancer, I suddenly found myself in early menopause. I noticed then how little support and reliable information was available. That led me to delve deeper into this topic and complete the training to become a menopause consultant (Vives Kortrijk). So I know from personal experience how overwhelming menopause can feel. Perhaps you recognise that too? Your body changes faster than your head and heart can keep up with. You no longer feel like yourself, you are tired, tense or burnt out. Sometimes, after illness, you are left with symptoms you don't know how to deal with. At Uma I offer you a place where you can be completely yourself. I listen to what is really going on and provide insight into the hormonal and physical changes. Together we look for calm, energy and clarity, with attention to your whole story: body, thoughts and emotions. We don't look back at how things were, but make space for the woman you are allowed to be today. I want to help you come home to yourself again, even when everything has changed. You don't have to go through this alone — I am happy to guide you in finding trust and strength again.
