During perimenopause and menopause, you may notice changes in your weight or where you carry it — particularly around your middle — alongside changes in hunger, cravings, energy or digestion. With so many changes happening at once, it can be difficult to know what to focus on or do differently.
If you feel as though you’re putting in more effort but your weight still isn’t shifting, there may be good reasons why.
During perimenopause and menopause, changes in sleep, appetite, activity, muscle mass and where we store body fat can all influence weight and how manageable eating feels.
Stress, eating patterns, medical conditions and medications can add another layer — and the factors that matter most will be different for each woman.
That’s why the answer isn’t always to eat less or try harder. We start by
understanding what’s happening for you, so we can focus on the changes most likely to make a meaningful difference.
Rather than giving you another diet to follow, we start by understanding what’s happening for you and build from there.
We look at your eating patterns, appetite, symptoms, activity, lifestyle and health, so you’re not left guessing at what might help.
We identify the key changes most likely to make a meaningful difference for you, rather than trying to overhaul everything at once.
Learn how to put together satisfying meals that help you stay comfortably full, support steadier energy and work towards your weight and metabolic health goals — and make confident choices when life doesn’t go to plan.
We troubleshoot what gets in the way and build habits and strategies you can adapt when
life gets busy or circumstances change.
STABLE is how I bring together nutrition, appetite, behaviour, movement and lifestyle in my one-to-one work, while keeping the focus on what matters most for you.
We start by understanding what may be influencing your weight, appetite and health. From there, we build the nutrition and practical skills that help you stay comfortably satisfied, support steadier energy and work towards your weight and metabolic health goals.
The aim isn’t for you to finish with another set of rules to follow. It’s to help you understand what works for you and why, so you become increasingly confident making decisions for yourself.
The amount and length of support can be tailored to what you need. We can talk through the options and what’s likely to be the best fit during your free discovery call.

I’ve worked in nutrition and weight management for more than 30 years, including over 20 years in the NHS. Today, I specialise in helping women navigate weight management during perimenopause and menopause, bringing together nutrition science, clinical experience and behaviour change.
I believe high-quality nutrition advice needs to work in the context of real life. That means working together to understand what matters most for you, finding changes that are practical and achievable, and helping you build the knowledge and skills to make confident decisions for yourself.

“I feel confident again and happy in my body”
“A huge thank you for all your support over the last few months! I can't tell you how much it's changed and helped the way I feel!
I feel confident again and happy in my body... it's changed the way I live my life for the better and it feels sustainable and enjoyable! So thank you!”
“It doesn't feel hard or complex”
“The impact a few simple changes to the way I eat can have a huge impact on how my body functions (digestion, energy, body composition)... it doesn't feel hard or complex... it's simple and manageable.”
“I don't feel like I'm on a diet”
“I feel informed about the food choices I make... it was just so confusing before... I don't feel like I'm on a diet, and therefore don't feel restricted by anything.”
On the blog, I take a closer look at the evidence and translate it into clear, practical guidance you can use in everyday life.
There’s a lot of nutrition information out there — and it isn’t always easy to know what’s relevant, reliable or worth paying attention to.
