❤️ “I just didn’t feel like ‘me’ anymore…”
That’s what one of my clients told me when we first started working together.
She had been through breast cancer and, following her treatment, HRT wasn’t an option for her.
She’d spent years struggling with menopause symptoms and had reached the point where she wondered if this was simply how life was going to be.
Then something changed.
After 12 weeks, she told me she was sleeping 7–8 hours a night instead of 4–5.
Her energy had improved.
Her sense of humour had returned.
And she was starting to feel like herself again. ❤️
When she told me her story, it really stayed with me.
Because I know there are women who have been through cancer who may feel that, because HRT isn't suitable for them, there isn't much they can do to support themselves through menopause.
But is that really true?
That's what I've been exploring in my September newsletter.
And I've shared a little more about what happened for my client — and some of the small changes we worked on together.
If this is something that affects you, or someone you care about, I'd love you to have a read.

🥵 Too hot to sleep? You're not imagining it...

The recent hot weather has left many women exhausted, especially if you're already dealing with menopause.

If you're waking through the night with hot flushes, restless sleep or simply can't seem to switch off, there may be more going on than just the temperature.

This month's newsletter explains why menopause can disrupt your sleep and highlights two key nutrients that are often overlooked but play an important role in helping you stay cooler, calmer and better rested.

Inside you'll also find:
✨ Practical nutrition advice
✨ My FREE Magnesium Guide
✨ Links to further reading on my website

Sleep is one of the first things I help my clients improve because when you sleep better, everything else becomes easier—your energy, mood, cravings and even weight management.

If you'd like a copy of this month's newsletter (and future monthly tips packed with evidence-based menopause advice), click on the link in the comments or comment Sleep and i'll sign you up. I promise not to spam you, just one Newsletter a month.

Because every woman deserves to wake up feeling refreshed. 💜

🌿 A little more spice in life might actually be good for us… 🌿

I’m about to send out my latest newsletter all about the surprising benefits of herbs and spices for healthy aging — and honestly, it’s fascinating how some of the simplest things we use every day in cooking can have such a positive impact on our health.

From supporting brain health and digestion to helping with inflammation, blood sugar balance and energy levels, these tiny ingredients really do punch above their weight.

In the newsletter I share: ✨ Some of the most beneficial herbs & spices for midlife and beyond

✨ Simple ways to use them without overhauling your whole diet

✨ The science behind why they’re so powerful

✨ Realistic tips for supporting your health naturally as we age

Because healthy aging doesn’t have to mean perfection, restriction or complicated routines — often it’s the small things we do consistently that make the biggest difference.

I've also included my favourite Sweet potato & chickpea curry recipe in my newsletter ( spicy foods are good to help you cool down in this heat , as long as you don't eat too late in the evening ☺️)

If you’d like to receive the newsletter (and future ones), you can sign up from the link in the comments .

I'm a keen gardener and looking very growing a whole variety of edible plants including many herbs & I'd love to know what herbs & spices you grow at home and what your favourite spicy dishes are - comment below.

As always, feel free to share with anyone who might enjoy it 💛

Walking is such a great way to get your fitness back after an illness, or to maintain your fitness.

Walking with others, having a chat and making new friends is even better ! Every week we are meeting new people with different stories to tell . I love it !

Some messages really stay with you… and this one absolutely made my day. ❤️

A wonderful client has just completed my 12-week programme and gave me a 5 star review !

“I have just completed Nicky's 12 week programme and it's the best thing I've done in a long time.

I have been going through menopause for the last 10 years following treatment for breast cancer (surgery, chemo, radiotherapy and medication) and because of this I was unable to take HRT. I wasn't sleeping, I was irritable for no reason, gained weight, was lethargic and just didn't feel like ‘me’ anymore.

Following Nicky's advice and guidance I now sleep 7–8 hours a night (previously it was 4–5), I feel more energised, my sense of humour has returned, people have commented on how well I'm looking and I'm also losing weight!

My only regret is that I didn't know about this programme earlier.”

Stories like this are exactly why I do what I do.

Menopause can feel incredibly isolating — especially when traditional treatments like HRT aren’t an option. But there are ways to support your body, improve sleep, restore energy and start feeling like yourself again.

Seeing someone rediscover their energy, confidence and sense of humour is the most rewarding part of my work.

If you're struggling with sleep, energy or weight during menopause, please know you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Feel free to message me if you'd like to learn more about how my 12-week programme works.

Because every woman deserves to feel like herself again. 💛
