Meet Natasha – Founder of The Power in Pause
Hi, I’m Natasha, a 53-year-old postmenopausal woman, mum to Elliott and Ethan,
stepmum to Joe and Tom, and daily companion to Mabel the dog. I know first-hand
just how life-changing the menopause transition can be not just physically, but
emotionally, and mentally. The pathway of menopause can be a very isolating
experience and I’m here to walk it with you.
For the first 20 years of my career, I worked at Heathrow Airport, helping people
navigate their life journeys, quite literally. I’ve always been passionate about
supporting others, and my role there gave me a deep foundation in listening,
coaching, and guiding people through transition and change.
But my own life took a huge turn when at the age of 46 years I was hit by something
I didn’t even have the language for, peri menopause. A while later my homelife
changed with my husband going to work abroad.
At first, I didn’t recognise what was happening to me, my GP was referring me for a
whole host of individual symptoms painful joints, palpitations, insomnia, low mood
but no one joined the dots. I thought I was losing my mind. I was exhausted, getting
just 4 hours of sleep a night, and at one point, I was experiencing up to 17 hot
flashes a day. My confidence completely disappeared.
Eventually, a GP gently suggested the symptoms I was experiencing could be
perimenopause, a word I’d never even heard before. That moment changed
everything.
From there, I made it my mission to educate myself. I read, I researched, and I self-
advocated with the support of an understanding female GP, to get the care I needed,
including HRT & eventually Testosterone. That journey sparked something in me:
the desire to help other women feel informed, empowered, and supported.
With lived experience and professional training as a Menopause Support Coach I’m
here to help you feel like you again or maybe even discover a version of yourself
you’ve never met before.
I believe menopause isn’t the end of something, it’s a powerful beginning of
something new. A chance to pause, reset and reclaim your power.
Let’s walk this path together…………
