Success Stories

Kate, 52, Hot Flushes, Dryness, Low Energy

I spent several hours trawling the web to find some answers and solutions to what I was feeling. I have been suffering really and brain fog and concentration issues so this was a hard task for me - I came across Catherine's website and I really liked her information. I contacted her over email and from the very first interaction she was so understanding of how I was feeling. I really don't know how she does it but she makes all the dreaded menopause information seem much easier to understand and accept - I have really started to look at this time in a much more positive light than before I meet Catherine.

Zoe, 46, Insomnia, Night Sweats, Tiredness

From the firsts minute I spoke to Catherine I felt in a safe place, was listened to and supported on my peri -menopausal journey.

Within an hour she had a plan in place to help me with my symptoms, nothing far out or crazy expensive etc and I was able to get everything in my local health food shop. It will be 3 weeks since out first consultation and in that time, lying awake from 2-4am is no longer and the night sweats have improved also. It is hard too believe the difference small changes have made to my quality of life and I owe it all to Catherine. She also made herself available for follow up query emails. I feel I have found a soul sister.

Mary, 49, Aches & Pains, Sleep, Energy

By a stroke of luck I heard Catherine speaking about Menopause on Newstalk radio. I contacted her and did a consultation over Whatsapp. I found her to be so full of knowledge about everything related to Menopause.

Prior to contacting Catherine I had spent a fortune on supplements & still didn't know what was or wasn't helping me. I felt empowered after speaking to Catherine & she subsequently followed up with me no problem. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone suffering like i was with perimenopause symptoms.

Jess, 44, sleep, anxiety & fears

I’m 44 years and in peri menopause. I was going through a hard time with sleeping problems, anxiety and fears. I couldn’t understand how I was feeling like this as my personal and work life was busy but manageable.

After speaking with Catherine, for the first time in a while I felt like I wasn’t losing my mind . She explained to me that loads of women feel like this and it’s the fluctuations of my hormones that are causing my symptoms . The reassurance that there was a reason for how I was feeling was a huge relief and the start of my new journey.

She advised me the supplements I can take, the foods to eat and the importance of exercise .

I definitely feel way better than I did 6 months ago and feel much more equipped to deal with the peri and menopause journey .

Sarah Jane, 48, anxiety and hot flushes

I met Catherine over Zoom as I am based in Kelowna, Canada. I found it so easy to talk to Catherine over Zoom and it was great that I could show her all the medications and supplements I was taking, all from the comfort of my couch ! I have been really affected by anxiety for the last two years and I am suffering social anxiety mostly - until I spoke to Catherine I had no idea this was partly due to the menopause. I found it a great relief to understand that I wasn't alone in this. Catherine's wellness plan has been fantastic, she goes to great detail to help you make changes in your daily life and her support is second to none. We chat over and back over email and what's app when I have questions and I find that really great. I am doing The Works Program and I am half way through and it really has been life changing to me. I cannot recommend Catherine enough.

Brid, age 46, wanted to prepare for menopause

My Mum had a really tough time when she was in menopause and suffered badly with anxiety, I have been afraid of menopause as a result. I was following My Second Spring and came across Catherine and I consulted with her to help me prepare and take my fear out of the menopause. My attitude has totally changed - I now know I am in the first stages of perimenopause and Catherine has given me so much knowledge and empowerment that I feel confident I am now doing the right things and preparing myself for this part of my life. I have an exercise regime going, I am eating better, my sleep is good and I feel confident in managing the symptoms as they come up.

Liz, age 43 first signs of perimenopause and wanted to get ahead of the curve

Catherine was recommended by a friend in Dublin and as I live in the West it was great to connect over FaceTime. Catherine's advice and knowledge are so current and up to date, I was really impressed by the level of detail she provided in the wellness program I received after we talked. I am now 2 months into the program and I am in a different place, Catherine told me it would be 3-4 months for real change but I found after a month my energy improved, I was sleeping better, and best of all my tummy issues had completely stopped. The plan made me eat better and I now think more about what I eat, I was definitely eating too much sugar!!

Jane, 54 suffering general menopause symptoms

Many thanks to Catherine for her great advice and patience during our conversations. In a time where I was frustrated with doctors for their lack of understanding of the severity of Menopausal symptoms and the lack of advice in dealing with symptoms. I found most doctors will just prescribe anti-depressants or HRT neither of which suited me or really improved symptoms. During our in depth conversations Catherine advised me on many alternatives including diet and supplements specifically tailored to my particular needs. Even more valuable was her understanding of the frustration I was feeling with conventional doctors and her assurance to trust and listen to your own bodies needs and to be patient and loving to ourselves. I look forward to her book on anxiety which was one of my major symptoms and I am grateful for her help and input in a time when a voice of reason was most needed.

Hannah, age 50, tiredness and menopausal symptoms

I met Catherine a few months ago when feeling tired and experiencing many menopausal symptoms. I found her to be very professional in her approach, she was a good listener and took the time to tease out every detail on how I was feeling and explore all the symptoms I was experiencing. Following that she made some recommendations on lifestyle changes and some supplements I should take to help with the symptoms. She also gave advice on the quality of the supplements I should buy. Instead of just going and buying off the shelf it was good to know the exact product and brand to purchase (this is something I never gave much thought to before). Having taken her advice I feel so much better and my energy levels are much better and symptoms greatly improved. I like the fact that Catherine is also willing to answer questions on email and always answers promptly. I would highly recommend a consultation with Catherine. I feel it’s definitely value for money and the follow-up she does shows her great interest and dedication to her clients.
