Perimenopause and Menopause

The transition into perimenopause and then on into post-menopause, can be a turbulent and emotional time. Although the most natural process in the world, the changes to your physical and emotional state can be overwhelming and tricky to manage.

With the right exercise and nutritional support, we can work to help reduce peri-menopause symptoms and leave you feeling great and more in control


Exercising during perimenopause can feel confusing, but with specialist support it becomes safe, effective, and empowering. As an expert in women’s health and perimenopausal training, I’ll help you move confidently through this stage while your body is going through the change.

Using targeted strength training alongside appropriate equipment and techniques, I can help you rebuild and maintain lean muscle tissue, protect bone density, and reduce any belly fat gained due to hormonal shifts. Strength work is one of the most powerful tools during perimenopause — supporting your metabolism, stabilising your joints, and improving your overall mental wellbeing.

With specialist training in perimenopausal nutrition, I can also guide you on what, when, and how to eat to support body composition and manage weight changes linked to fluctuating hormones. These strategies can help ease disturbed sleep, hot flushes, mood swings, and the general sense of imbalance that often accompanies this stage.

If you’d like to talk through your symptoms, your goals, or how strength training can support you during perimenopause, you can contact me here to speak further about how I can best help you.


Here’s what some of Katy’s clients have to say about their sessions with Katy:

Tamsin, Ham

Katy came to my house to provide weekly PT sessions (shared with a friend) for over a year. She is reliable and very approachable, mixing up the exercises to make it interesting and fun. There was plenty of weights/resistance work which I now realise a menopausal woman needs! Big thanks, Katy, for getting me into a regular work out habit and making it fun along the way.
