Are you struggling with menopause symptoms and wondering why your body suddenly seems to be working against you?
Perhaps you’re exhausted, not sleeping properly, carrying weight that won’t shift, struggling with aches and pains or simply don’t feel like yourself anymore.
I’ve been there.
I’m Nicky Dear, a Registered Health Coach and Menopause Practitioner, and I help busy women make realistic, sustainable changes to nutrition, lifestyle, movement and mindset so they can feel more like themselves again.
I know how you are feeling
In my late 40s and early 50s, life was incredibly busy. I had a demanding career, a family to look after and was used to being active and healthy.
Then my body seemed to change almost overnight.
I was exhausted. I wasn’t sleeping. I was experiencing pain and I gained weight despite feeling that I was doing all the things I’d always done.
Like many women, I didn’t initially realise how much of this could be connected to menopause.
When I eventually understood what was happening, I started looking at my nutrition, movement, stress, sleep and lifestyle in a completely different way.
Those changes transformed how I felt.
And that’s why I became a health coach.
Food has been at the heart of my career for more than 35 years.
I have a BSc (Hons) in Home Economics and spent more than three decades working in the food industry, including 25 years in Research & Development and senior leadership roles.
I’ve worked with food scientists, chefs and product developers around the world and have spent much of my career understanding ingredients, nutrition, food development and what makes healthy food both practical and enjoyable.
So when we talk about food, I’m not interested in giving you another restrictive diet or a list of foods you’re “allowed” to eat.
I want to help you understand food and your body, so you can make choices that work for your real life
My approach is simple: understand first, change gradually
I don’t believe in extreme diets, unrealistic exercise plans or trying to change everything at once.
My approach is about understanding you — your symptoms, your lifestyle, your nutrition, your sleep, stress, movement, habits and goals.
Together, we’ll identify the changes that are going to make the biggest difference and build them into your life gradually.
Because the goal isn’t to be “good” for 12 weeks.
The goal is to feel better and create habits you can actually live with.

This is just on of my recent client’s comments
“I have just completed Nicky’s 12 week programme and it’s the best thing I’ve done in a long time.
I have been going through menopause for the last 10 years following treatment for breast cancer (surgery, chemo, radiotherapy and medication) and because of this I was unable to take HRT, I wasn’t sleeping, I was irritable for no reason, gained weight, was lethargic and just didn’t feel like ‘me’ anymore.
Following Nicky’s advice and guidance I now am sleeping 7-8 hrs a night (previously it was 4-5), I feel more energised, my sense of humour has returned, people have commented how well I’m looking and I’m also losing weight!
My only regret is that I didn’t know about this programme earlier.“
Could this be the right time to put yourself back on the list?
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you get in touch.
If you’re struggling with symptoms, feeling frustrated with your weight, exhausted from trying to do everything yourself, or simply know that something needs to change, let’s have a chat.
There is no obligation and no hard sell.
Just an opportunity to tell me what’s going on and see whether I might be able to help.
