I am Lucy, founder of My Menopause Answers, a mother of 3 children, a horse lover, an avid reader, and an energetic straight-talking women’s health consultant. Inspiring women to be passionate about themselves again. I have seen women struggle in silence for WAY too long!! It’s time to be heard!! Through my 25 years of experience and ultimately the strategies I use WORK.
I want to give you a bit about who I am and my story.
WHEN! I HEARD MY SISTER COULDN’T HAVE KIDS I WANTED TO HELP…..
How I became a women’s health, wellness, and personal growth consultant.
Having a passion for everything horses growing up, led me to a career as a Jockey. Being a lady Jockey is not something you see every day, but for me, there was no other choice I absolutely loved riding and racing horses. Being a Jockey is a tough life, and it brings with it risk. Sadly, this risk was made real one day when I received a life-altering fall that saw me rushed to A&E where I received the news that I had broken my back. This was heartbreaking for me. All I knew was my life as a jockey and it was now over.
BUT WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS!
While recovering from the accident, I started acupuncture treatments, to help with my recovery. The effect this treatment had on my recovery was astonishing. I went from being completely immobilized to moving again. I was so incredibly grateful and amazed at how effective the treatment was.
I knew this was something I had to study and learn. After I qualified as a fully-fledged acupuncturist, one of my first clients was an incredible lady called Mary, Mary had been trying to get pregnant for several years without any success. She had become quite frustrated and disillusioned from years of failed attempts and several miscarriages. This was my first major challenge! An emotional one working with Mary.
Mary succeeded in getting her pregnant only a few months later. Through the success of Mary, more ladies came to me for help with their fertility it became an area of focus and research for me.
Also, during my this time, my sister had been diagnosed with cancer. To add to this heartbreaking news, she had lived with the knowledge that she could not have children due to a back condition that was diagnosed when she was only sixteen years old.
As I started my career as a Women’s Health consultant my sister came to me for help. I’ll have to go back a bit in this story. When my sister was sixteen, she was told that she could never have children. When she met her husband in her early 20s, he was told the same thing, so they were quite surprised when they found they got pregnant with Josh. Charlotte had a healthy pregnancy but towards the end of her pregnancy, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer. After Josh was born she had to go through very strong chemotherapy for 2 years.
My sister Charlotte wanted to have more children. During her chemo treatment, her periods had stopped.
She asked for my help, and we got together. I came up with treatment strategies that helped bring her back her periods, and she got pregnant. But unfortunately, this pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, and my sister went into a very dark place. With the help of her husband, me her family, and friends she came out of this dark place.
Charlotte decided it was time to try again. She got pregnant. She went to the hospital for her first scan and called me. I have to say my heart sunk to my knees because I was so worried she was going to tell me bad news but what she said was “There’s not just one baby in here there’s two”. Harriet and Frederick joined our family.
My journey helping women had just begun supporting women. Next the ladies I saw trying to get pregnant moved on to perimenopause and menopause.
