My journey to The 3 C's
Welcome to The 3 C's, a women's wellbeing and menopause-focused support service rooted in personal experience and a deep understanding of what women truly need. This is where my story intertwines with yours, creating a space for connection, conversation, and confidence. Discover the origins of our unique approach to navigating perimenopause and menopause with clarity and calm.
My personal story
I started The 3 C’s because I was going through perimenopause myself and felt genuinely surprised by how confusing and isolating it could be. I didn’t feel unwell, but I didn’t feel like myself either — and I realised how little space there was locally in Melton Mowbray to talk about these changes openly, without feeling rushed, dismissed, or expected to already understand what was happening.
Alongside my own experience, my background in pharmacy and years of working with women made it clear how many quietly struggle through this stage of life, often putting themselves last and assuming they just have to “get on with it”. The 3 C’s grew from that gap, creating a calm, supportive space where women can connect, share experiences, and build confidence.
A unique approach to support
My way of supporting women through menopause is calm, practical, and very much led by the individual. I don’t believe in overwhelming people with information or telling them what they should be doing. Instead, I focus on listening first — really hearing what’s going on for them — and helping make sense of things in a way that feels manageable and reassuring.
What makes my approach different is the combination of lived experience and over 20 years of professional understanding in pharmacy and healthcare. This means I can explain things clearly, in plain English, without medical jargon or pressure. My aim is for women to leave feeling reassured, understood, and hopeful — knowing they’re not “getting it wrong” and that support is there when they need it.
What I hope you take away
The most important thing I hope women take away from The 3 C’s is the reassurance that there is nothing “wrong” with them and that they are not alone in how they’re feeling. So many women come into this stage of life questioning themselves, doubting their bodies, or feeling they should be coping better — and that can be incredibly heavy.
I want women to leave feeling understood, calmer, and kinder to themselves, with a clearer sense of what’s happening and the confidence to take their next step in their own time. Even if that step is simply feeling a little less overwhelmed or knowing where to turn for support, that matters. Above all, I hope they leave feeling supported, hopeful, and reassured that they don’t have to navigate this on their own.
