Better after menopause starts with understanding what your body needs now.

Menopause changes things. But it doesn’t mean you have to settle for feeling less like yourself.

If you’re navigating life post-menopause - you’re in the right place.

You deserve to feel good in your body and confident about your health - at every stage of life.

Perhaps your body feels unfamiliar. Your weight has shifted, your energy has dipped, or you’re finding harder to concentrate or think clearly.

Maybe the things that used to work for you no longer seem to have the same effect. Or perhaps you’re less concerned about how you look and feel an urgency to protect your health and feel well for the years ahead.

Whatever your experience, you deserve to feel listened to, understood and supported.

I’m Kirsty, a registered nutritionist specialising in midlife and post-menopausal health. I help women make sense of the changes they’re experiencing and take a more informed, personalised approach to nutrition and lifestyle. My approach is built around personalised nutritional therapy and The Carb-Conscious Method - a flexible, evidence-informed way of thinking about food that puts protein, fibre, nourishing fats and more considered carbohydrate choices at the heart of healthy eating.

My work brings together nutritional science, individual health needs and practical changes that can fit into real life. Whether your priorities are body composition, energy, metabolic health, digestive wellbeing or healthy ageing, we’ll look at the bigger picture - not just what you eat, but what your body needs now.

You can’t turn back the clock. But you can take an active, self-empowered role in how you feel, function and look after your health in midlife and beyond.

Your biology has changed. Your approach to nutrition may need to change too.

When the things that used to work no longer seem to work.

You may have spent years knowing what worked for your body. You understood your appetite, your energy, your weight and how to look after yourself.

Then midlife arrived, and perhaps some of that changed.

You might be eating much as you always have, yet noticing changes in your waistline. You may be exercising but not seeing the results you expected. Perhaps your concentration, sleep or energy aren’t quite what they used to be. Or, you may simply have reached a point where you want to take your long-term health more seriously.

It’s easy to feel frustrated, confused or even a little disconnected from your body.

But these changes aren’t a personal failing, and they don’t mean you’ve run out of options.

The hormone transition through menopause can influence body composition, blood sugar regulation, brain function, cardiovascular risk factors and other aspects of health. Understanding these changes gives us a better starting point for making nutritional and lifestyle choices that are appropriate for this stage of life.

This isn’t about chasing your younger body. It’s about supporting the body you have now - and investing in the health you want for the future.

Where I focus my work

My practice has two areas of focus — post-menopausal health and digestive health are my specialist clinical niches for those who need deep, personalised one-to-one support, alongside group programmes and community events.

Primary Focus

Post-Menopause

Community, group programmes and one-to-one support for women navigating post-menopause life — weight, body composition, cognitive health, energy and long-term metabolic wellbeing through a low-carb approach.

Specialist niche

Digestive Health

Personalised nutritional therapy for common digestive conditions such as IBS, bloating, SIBO and reflux — using a functional, root-cause approach to support restoring gut balance, function, and long-term digestive health.

A little about Kirsty

“I'm a post-menopausal woman myself, a registered nutritionist, and someone who has lived experience of both navigating menopause and digestive symptoms. I bring that personal understanding alongside deep clinical expertise to every client and community member I work with. I know what it feels like to want more — and to deserve it.”

My approach

Every plan I create is built around you - your symptoms, your lifestyle, your goals. There are no extreme diets, no one-size-fits-all protocols, and no overwhelm.

  • Root-cause focus. We go beyond symptoms to understand what’s actually driving them.

  • Personalised plans. Tailored to you. No generic protocols.

  • Nourishment beyond food. Light, nature, and movement are as important to health as what we eat - this is woven into my approach.

  • Practical and realistic. Change that fits your real life, not an idealised version of it.

  • Community-centred. Because connection and belonging are part of what it means to be well.

  • Ongoing support. With you through the process - adjusting, encouraging, and keeping you moving forward.

  • “I struggled with IBS for years but after a bout of food poisoning it became even worse. The gentle dietary adjustments Kirsty recommended brought improvements I never thought possible. She made everything so clear and easy to understand and follow, and the check-ins really helped me feel supported. I can’t thank her enough; I only wish I had found her sooner.”

    PATRICIA, 76

  • "I owe a debt of gratitude to Kirsty; her guidance and encouragement were key to my recovery from major surgery and long-term therapy. The results were astonishing. I feel stronger and more resilient, and even my surgeon was amazed at my progress.”

    JOHN, 65

  • “Despite trying to read about and practice managing stress and menopause symptoms, I was at my wits’ end, dealing with a midlife crisis. Kirsty explored this in depth with me and we made tweaks to my regime that I thought was already healthy. The changes in my weight, energy and mood were really incredible and I didn’t have a sense of missing out but a new perspective!”

    NATASHA, 56

  • "Working with Kirsty has not only given me the practical steps to begin to heal my hormonal imbalances to clear my skin and support the return of my period, but has also inspired a confidence within me. Talking to her enabled me to realise how important my health is and also understand that what feels ‘normal’ isn't always right. I felt completely safe and seen during all of our correspondences and genuinely couldn't recommend Kirsty enough!"
