Hello I’m Clare Love! Natural Menopause Coach and Nutritional Therapist
Diploma Nutritional Therapy (CNM), GAPS Practitioner (Gut & Psychology Syndrome), Diploma HolisticLife Coaching (WPAW)
I have transitioned through the menopause without the use of HRT or any other kind of medical intervention and I want you to know that it is possible!
It hasn’t been without its challenges and there have been occasions when the temptation of HRT was definitely there for me.
However I felt clear from the start that I didn’t want to take hormone replacements and instead listen to my body and fully honour it through self love, nutrition, movement, breath work, nature and lifestyle.
My inner voice assured me that the menopause is a rite of passage and even though the path wasn’t always going to be smooth, it had the potential of being a gateway for major transformation. And that is exactly what it was!
During the peri-menopause:
- I experienced three major losses – my Father, my Grandmother and my Mother
- I walked the Camino de Santiago across Northern Spain on my own
- I closed down my nutrition business to explore a new direction in life
- I ended a relationship that wasn’t working for me and had a 6 year break of self discovery
- I moved to a place I love near the sea
- I attracted a tribe of inspiring, powerful, beautiful warrior women
- I threw myself into dance and found the healing power of movement
- I created my dream job
- I gave myself permission to be all that I am even if it’s not what others want me to be
Yes all of this happened in the midst of and as a result of the menopause!
And I’m not saying it was easy
During the peri-menopause I experienced 3 major losses; my Father in 2015, my Grandmother in 2016 and my dear Mother in 2017. At the time I thought I was in a deep state of grief, but looking back I see that I was also experiencing the turbulence of the peri-menopause and transitioning through a few major life events simultaneously.
It was a tough path physically and emotionally. I was shocked at the lack of information available to me about both grief and the menopause and the information that was available didn’t feel appropriate or relevant.
That caused me to travel inwards and put me in touch with the one source of wisdom I knew I could count on – myself.
I tapped into my knowledge as a Nutritional Therapist and the wisdom I’d gathered along the way to support myself through what I feel is a woman’s rite of passage, a sacred journey into myself and to meet myself as a wise woman. I allowed my body and my emotions to guide me which, although sometimes messy, allowed me to shed a lot of stuff which no longer served me and step into the woman I am now. Here I stand in my Second Spring of life feeling strong and brave and more myself than ever!
“I’m so grateful to the menopause for putting me in touch with my authentic, passionate, real, beautiful self and I’d love to help you do the same.”
