To stand alongside so many passionate advocates reinforces why Menoproofing through the decades matters. Menopause does not begin at midlife it’s influenced by our teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s. Education, awareness, and early action change outcomes. Thank you to everyone working tirelessly to raise standards, break taboos and ensure women are better supported, in healthcare, workplaces, families and communities. This is not just awareness, it’s a futureproofing women’s lives !

Have you ever thought we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so when finally able to meet the right person we know how to be grateful for the gift. It is true we don’t realise the gifts we receive until we lose them. That includes people that support and hold our hands on our spiritual and life journey. The lesson of love is long and there are many levels to learn, seven in fact. And individuals can be learning all seven levels, achieved in dif

I’m truly honoured to be shortlisted for the Celebrating Women Pioneers Menopause Awards  (6 February). For over 25 years, women’s health has been my life’s work supporting women from menstrual health and fertility challenges through to maternity, menopause, and beyond. This journey has shaped my commitment to  Menoproofing through the decades , empowering women with knowledge, testing, self-care, and practical solutions long before menopause arrives. In 2020, I founded  Joy

At the heart of my work is  Menoproofing through the decades a proactive approach to female health that recognises menopause as a culmination of lifelong patterns, not a sudden event. What happens earlier in life from teens projects into our future forming as health impacts and deeper risks. Finds related to maternal, maternity and menopause. Finding and checking out the uniqueness involved for each person, their history, lifestyle, family history to find reasons ‘why’. Thr

Debate continues regarding the harm to young minds and brain formation from media and phone use. All predicted and restriction suggested, which was ignored and today our children feel the brunt of the ignorance of those who made the decisions over a decade ago.   Our children pay the price as phone scrolling, brainwashing becomes addictive. Resulting in brain overload from demand. Person naturally feels overwhelmed emotionally. Psychologically skewed living takes place with n

Despite many calls for better birth experiences we start 2026 with headlines that Australian practices around birth are failing women. Unfortunately a global problem and not exclusive to Australia. I have reported, written and spoken about birth trauma for over a decade. Women and their infants suffer daily, professionals declare not enough is known, not recognised and no data exists to quantify the percentage of women affected, with a suspected 70% of women being affected. A

Pregnancy Loss week 9-15 th October While reflecting pregnancy success may be fraught with complications, every women’s pregnancy and fertility journey is different. Couples may both have biochemical issues not on their radar, a surprise to require help and guidance. Pregnancy loss may happens once. For others, it repeats.  Recurrent pregnancy loss  (two or more consecutive miscarriages) affects up to  5% of women  and can lead to further heartbreak and questions with few an

Pregnancy Loss and IVF Pregnancy loss awareness week 9-15 th October   Having experienced pregnancy loss my heart goes out to all women who have experienced the disappointment and grief of Pregnancy loss. One of the most common experiences in women’s health, with  around 1 in 4 known pregnancies ending in miscarriage. For couples already facing infertility, the pain of loss is often compounded by the long, emotional, and costly journey of assisted reproduction. In vitro fert

Government announced the first of its kind programme of checks for 40 - 74 year old women in England.   In the last week of world Menopause awareness month October 2025 the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) announced women across England would benefit from the menopause being included in routine NHS health checks for the first time.  Dedicated questions NHS Health Checks about menopause, free assessments offered to eligible adults aged 40 - 74 every five years esti

Mental health concerns are widespread for both adults and children, with increasing rates of probable mental health conditions observed in young people, particularly in UK. Rates of mental disorders in children (aged 8-16) rose from 1 in 8 in 2017 to over 1 in 6 by 2023, while adult access to mental health treatment in England has also doubled in the same period. Data indicates 1 in 4 adults are living with a mental health condition. Of course the underlying factors of anxiet

World Mental Health Day reminds us that emotional well-being is not just a personal issue it ripples out into home, family and workplace with far-reaching consequences often unrecognised. Recent data shows that mental ill-health costs the UK economy an estimated  £117.9 billion annually  through absenteeism, lost productivity, and staff turnover. 1 in 6 employees experience underlying common mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression, yet stigma and lack of supp

Parenthood can bring feelings of being unprepared for our child’s needs. Parents are often left on their own. Out of their depth with children’s behaviour and disorder issues, a leaflet does not replace a 1-2-1 support package. Direct action, guidance for child and parent. No need to wait for a certificate or diagnosis JWT can help you and your child now.   JWT offers a range of parental programmes of support and education . From birth, what to expect going home after birth,

I had an amazing time at Pause Live in London on Saturday.

Children today face rising levels of  allergies, asthma, eczema, and digestive issues  – often dismissed as “normal childhood problems” carrying lifelong consequences for families.

The UK has the  highest prevalence of allergic conditions in the world , with numbers rising sharply over the last two decades. In 2004, around  20% of the population  lived with one or more allergic conditions; by 2010 this had escalated to  44% . Today,  1 in 4 adults  and  1 in 8 children  are affected by allergic rhinitis.   Allergy UK calls this a “modern epidemic”.   Food allergies are particularly concerning, affecting  5–8% of children .

Why Children, Can’t Afford anymore Medical, Parental, Societal Blindness   Birth Trauma: The Silent Crisis Every year, thousands of families silently carry the weight of birth trauma. For too long, a mother’s influences have been dismissed as “baby blues” or “just hormones.” But the truth is clear: ignoring birth trauma comes with staggering health costs for parents, for children and society. I wrote about this crisis in my women’s and children’s health book ‘Pregnancy & Birt

The contact between mother and child should not be interrupted immediately after birth.  Those few moments (30-60minutes) are very important. The first 15 minutes, when oxytocin is apparent and the love hormone is being released, are critical for bonding and recognition.    Many trials have shown the benefits of a baby being left with mum to bond after birth. However because of the high levels of clinical intervention today, this no longer happens in many cases.    o   Shown

The Hidden Error For too long, birth trauma has been dismissed, hidden under labels of “baby blues,” “colic,” or “just hormones.” But this underestimated perception is costing individuals, families health, ripple impacts on family unit, siblings, income.
