I have worked in Women's Refuge, and a Drug Rehabilitation Facility specialising with women & children, and have worked with many women in difficult life changing situations. It became clear how very stressful situations can affect women holistically, causing many physical symptoms including hormonal problems and difficult menstrual cycles.
Working with women who are struggling with their cycles, having fertility or menopausal problems has become my specialism. For 10 years I worked with a colleague in a specialist fertility clinic, rebalancing hormones, creating a healthy cycle as well as working with people considering or undergoing IVF. It has given many couples the opportunity of a child when nothing else was working.
Changes throughout a women's life, having children, balancing family life through to "empty nest" when children leave can impact strongly - and I have many women who come for support during difficult times. A major change is later at menopause, which many women dread. In truth it should be a change, but without undue symptoms - and enabling women to pass through this into their age of freedom and wisdom is joyful.
