Every single woman who makes it to her 40s is going to be affected by perimenopause and menopause in one way or another. There literally is no escaping one of the most significant journeys that every woman has to travel.

Historically knowledge, information, research and support for this transition has been shockingly and unacceptably absent. Only in the past few years has it been recognised that perimenopause lasts around 7 years, not 1 year, and that there are over 65 recognised symptoms - far beyond the traditional hot flash or night sweat.

Whilst conversations concerning Menopause have become much more open and honest, there is still a great deal of understanding and discussion missing regarding perimenopause, making it for some far more challenging, darker and often more depressing than menopause itself.
