I’m a college lecturer, retained firefighter, and author of Perimenopause – The A–Z Guide for Us Idiots.

I came to this work by realising how little I understood about perimenopause and how much that lack of understanding affected people at home and at work.

What I found was a gap.

There is plenty of medical information available.
Very little that explains day‑to‑day impact.
And almost nothing aimed at helping partners, leaders, and mixed‑gender teams respond well.

I’m not a clinician, and I don’t diagnose or treat.

My work focuses on translating lived experience into practical understanding, helping people communicate better, lead more effectively, and reduce unnecessary pressure at work.
