Menopause can impact upon a woman’s physical and mental health, self-confidence and vitality for life, her personal relationships and working abilities.

We believe that women should be supported through a knowledge and understanding of menopause stages, its symptoms, why symptoms occur and what treatments are evidence based for menopause. This information is vital to support women to be able to self-manage their menopause journey.

Our Point of Difference

Helping you create a treatment plan that works for your unique story.

Menopause care is often difficult to access and can be focused on suitability for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Our approach is different.We believe Menopause can be likened to a jigsaw puzzle with multiple pieces such as, hot flushes, night sweats, poor sleep, brain fog, low mood and anxiety.

Our work supports women to pull the pieces of their own jigsaw puzzle together, and then to provide holistic care and treatment which specifically targets each piece, supporting women towards wellness and completion of their own unique, jigsaw puzzle.

Services are available in our Wellington and Christchurch offices and online via telehealth throughout New Zealand.

About us

"I am 59 and my periods stopped when I was 52. Since then I had menopause issues but was hellbent on getting through without HRT so I trundled on and got on with life. Last year I had problems with headaches and my sight was blurry and I felt dizzy. I was then put on medication for high blood pressure. I was stumbled as to why my blood pressure had gone high as nothing had changed in how I ate or exercised and I had never had problems before. My neighbour encouraged me to book with Monica as she had been learning about things like blood pressure and cholesterol changing in menopause from Monica and how you need to have checks. I am so glad I did as it turned out my cholesterol test was high! My GP and Monica are working together on helping me change what I eat and exercise more and I am hoping to avoid having to take pills to sort out my cholesterol."

Rachel, 59.

“Since working with Monica, my GP is treating me for perimenopause symptoms. I am now sleeping better, feeling happier with less mood swings and my hot flushes and night sweats have completely gone. My energy levels are better too and for the first time in a long time I feel able to exercise and start to make some changes that will support my long-term health. I am now looking forward to the future which is a very different place to where I was before”.

Linda, 47

“After four years of suffering symptoms a work colleague talked to me about the work Monica is doing to help women with menopause. I was scared of HRT so I sat on it for a couple of weeks and then took the plunge to see her. When I saw her I was feeling scared that things would never be the same again and that my life was on a downward spiral. Thank you for helping me Monica! She validated what I felt and explained why I was feeling like this. I felt like I finally had an ally who really got what was going on with me. With her help I am back to my old self enjoying life again”.

Lucy, 54

I booked in for an appointment with Monica and the information shared was actually life-changing in my understanding of what's been happening to me over the past few years. Before seeing her I had been given some antidepressant tablets which didn’t help. It was comforting for her to tell me that I wasn’t depressed (which I already knew) and that antidepressant medicine doesn’t work for problems women have with their mood when it’s due to menopause. She talked me through what choices I had for treatment and helped me to get the treatment I needed to feel better. I would never have been able to get this if I had not had her help.

Helen 49

“ Monica listened to me about the changes I had been having and then she spoke to me about how these were to do with menopause. I honestly hadn’t made the connection that what was happening to me. I thought I was just getting older and had to put up with it. She helped me realise that I didn’t need to put up with not sleeping and being anxious and tired all of the time. I was so irritable and felt angry at nothing a lot of the time. I also had sore joints and my skin was constantly itchy. She worked with me on a treatment plan and three months on I honestly feel like I have been given my life back”.
