About

 

I trained at Oxford University and Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospitals, followed by specialist training in surgery, intensive care and histopathology. I now work as a Consultant Histopathologist at UCLH, with a career shaped by both academic medicine and direct clinical practice.

​

In 2022, I went through a six-month chemically induced menopause to treat a large fibroid. It was meant to be temporary. Instead, it changed everything. The hormonal crash left me feeling like a different person, and the recovery didn’t go to plan. Despite seeing both my GP and menopause specialists, it became clear that perimenopause, especially after chemical suppression, sits in a medical blind spot.

​

So I did what most doctors do when the system can’t quite explain what’s happening: I investigated. I changed the way I ate and trained. I tried multiple forms of HRT. And eventually, I completed formal accreditation in menopause care with the British Menopause Society.

​

What I found was equal parts frustrating and encouraging. There’s still a striking lack of nuance in how women’s midlife hormones are managed. But there is also enormous potential, medically, nutritionally and physically, to reduce symptoms, improve long-term health, and help women feel like themselves again.

​

My services sit at the intersection of lived experience, clinical training and evidence. My aim is simple: to translate complex hormonal science into clear, practical guidance so women can navigate their 30s, 40s and 50s with confidence, and feel stronger for it.
