Hi, Iām Caryn, and Iām so glad youāve found me!
As a menopause survivor, I understand how confusing, overwhelming, and even devastating menopause can feel.
Thatās why Iāve made it my mission to help women like you navigate perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause with confidence and clarity.
My own menopause journey had a catastrophic effect onĀ my health, relationships, and career, but I emerged stronger, healthier, and wiserāand I know you can too.
Today, Iām happily still married to David (28 years and counting), have three wonderful grown-up daughters, and a fulfilling new career to boot.
I love holidays, sports, and creating memories with my amazing network of friends and extended family.
Life is good, but it wasnāt always like this.
My Menopause Story
When I first began experiencing the symptoms of perimenopauseāheavy, irregular periods, headaches, low energy, and mood swingsāI didnāt know what was happening. I didnāt feel like myself, and like so many women, I was in denial.Ā
Iād just started what I thought was my dream job, butĀ felt really āoffā ā mentally foggy, anxious, aching joints and bad skin, and my confidence started to crumble. I struggled to talk about it, even with my female boss, And as I dealt with family challenges like my motherās dementia, I began to feel even more isolated and out of control. When I started experiencing sleep issues, weight gain, and night sweats, I assumed it was just stress.
I went to my doctor who suggested I was depressed and offered antidepressants.Ā I refused and battled on.
It was only when I realised I missed 3 periods that the M word (menopause) lodged in front of my mindā¦ and I started investigating.Ā Hours on social media, followed by a couple of great books and some podcasts confirmed what Iād probably known deep down for monthsā¦I was perimenopausal.
I was half devastated and half relieved!
This was a turning point.Ā I knew I had to take control, and I refused to accept the inadequate advice I was given ā like ājust battle throughā or take antidepressants. I dedicated myself to understanding menopause from every angle and discovered that menopause isnāt one-size-fits-all. Each of us must find our own path to thriving in midlife and beyond.
From Negative to (Meno)Positive
For me, this realisation was transformative. I had an āAha!ā moment while working in Saudi Arabia, where I adopted a slower, healthier lifestyle.
I realised that many of my symptoms could be managed through daily habit changes.
This experience inspired me to improve not only my own health but also to help other women regain their confidence, energy, and balance.
As a trained and licensed Menopause Champion, with additional education in nutrition and midlife health, I created a holistic approach blending science, lifestyle, and personal experience to guide women through menopause with confidence. Ā
My method goes beyond surface-level adviceāit covers every aspect of menopausal well-being, from nutrition, exercise, and sleep to stress management and HRT options.
I believe in sustainable, realistic changes that fit into your lifeābecause menopause doesnāt mean losing your joy or sense of self. The result is a thriving community of women taking control of their health, happiness, and future.
Now, Iām dedicated to helping women take control of their health, happiness, and future through the Menopositive Method.

Whether youāre looking for support with nutrition, exercise, HRT, or need a safe space to discuss your experiences, this course provides a comprehensive approach tailored to meet your needs.
