From a career in Science to Women's Health

My career has always been driven by one purpose: helping people make informed decisions through science. Today, that mission continues by supporting women to navigate menopause with evidence, compassion, and confidence.

Menopause isn't just a hormonal transition — it can affect every aspect of a woman's life, from physical health and emotional wellbeing to confidence and sense of self. No woman should have to navigate that journey feeling alone.

As a certified Menopause Support Coach, with practitioner diplomas in Menopause Nutrition & Weight Loss Management and Breathwork & Grounding, I provide a compassionate, evidence-based approach that supports women through every stage of peri-menopause, menopause, and post-menopause.

My path into coaching is perhaps a little different.

Before dedicating my work to women's health, I spent many years in science. I earned a PhD in Biology, conducted scientific research, published peer-reviewed papers, and developed a deep appreciation for evidence, critical thinking, and translating complex science into information that people can actually understand. Alongside my research, I discovered how much I loved mentoring others and helping them grow.

I then moved into the life sciences industry as a Technical Sales Specialist, where I partnered with researchers and healthcare professionals to solve complex challenges through collaboration, education, and trusted relationships. During this time, I was also proud to serve as a STEM Ambassador, encouraging the next generation to explore careers in science.

Today, I bring together the best of both worlds: scientific knowledge and compassionate coaching.

I believe women deserve more than conflicting advice, quick fixes, or being told that menopause is simply something they have to "put up with." They deserve clear, evidence-based information, practical strategies, and someone who truly listens.

Through personalised coaching, I help women understand the changes happening within their bodies, build nourishing habits without restrictive dieting, support healthy weight management, and use breathwork and grounding techniques to reduce stress, restore balance, and build resilience.

My philosophy is simple: every woman deserves honest answers, not empty promises. Everything I share is grounded in science while recognising that every woman's experience is unique. My role is to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident as you reconnect with your health and wellbeing.

Originally from Italy and living in the UK since 2000, I bring together the richness of two cultures and the perspective that comes from experiencing life across different countries. This has shaped my emotional intelligence, adaptability, and ability to listen without judgement — skills that are at the heart of my coaching approach. Offering coaching in both English and Italian, I create a warm, empathetic and non-judgemental space where every woman feels heard, understood, respected and genuinely supported.

Because menopause is not the end of something — it's the beginning of a new chapter. And with the right knowledge and support, it can become a time to thrive, not simply survive.

Let's start to Restore Your Rhythm. I'll be beside you every step of the way, helping you regain confidence, restore balance, and reconnect with the radiant woman you are.

My approach

I believe menopause is not a problem to be fixed — it's a transition to be navigated with the right support.

Whole-person care

Your hormones, your nutrition, your nervous system, and your mindset are all connected. We look at the whole picture, not just the symptoms.

Evidence-informed

Everything I share is informed by current research and evidence-based guidance, thoughtfully tailored to your individual needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

Compassionate & non-judgmental

This is a safe space. There are no silly questions, no quick fixes, and no one-size-fits-all solutions — only honest, caring support.
