About

Hello — I’m Emma; The Menopause Mentor 💕

I’m a Menopause Practitioner, Clinical Nutritionist, and Personal Trainer with over 25 years of experience helping women feel strong, balanced, and confident again.

At 50, I truly understand how this stage of life can feel and I’m here to guide you through it with real talk, science-backed advice, and plenty of humour.

I’ve been lucky to work with and be featured by brands and organisations including The BBC, Bear Grylls, K-Swiss, Nivea for Men, Ironman UK, Dr Vegan, the NHS, Sky Sports, and Maxi Nutrition but my real passion lies in supporting real women like you to thrive through menopause, not just survive it. 💫

Menopause Bloating & Gut Health

Menopause Bloating & Gut Health Why your tummy suddenly feels 6 months pregnant — and what actually helps If you’ve hit midlife and found yourself asking: “Why am I bloated all the time?” “Why does my stomach feel hard by evening?” “Why do foods I’ve eaten forever suddenly upset me?” You’re not broken. You’re hormonal. Menopause doesn’t just affect your periods or mood — it massively impacts your gut. And for many women, bloating becomes one of the earliest (and most frustrating) symptoms....
