The Pause Room: When Midlife Kicks Off, Here’s Your Space

I didn’t set out to build a business for midlife women. I was just trying to survive my own hormonal chaos.

Perimenopause hit hard — anxiety, rage, brain fog, skin that stopped playing nicely, and confidence that vanished practically overnight. I kept functioning. Smiling. Doing the usual ‘keep going’ routine. But inside? I was completely lost.

The Pause Room came later. When I finally crawled out of the mess and realised what had been missing all along: space.

Not more advice. Not someone telling me to “just do yoga”.
Actual space – to breathe, to feel human again, to not have tohold it all together for everyone else.

After nearly 30 years of hands-on therapy — massage, skin health, reflexology, hormonal support — and treating hundreds of women who’ve quietly asked me, “Is this just me?” I can tell you: it’s not.

We’re expected to juggle it all. Keep smiling. Stay calm. Cope.
The Pause Room says: not here. Not anymore.

These treatments aren’t fluffy. They’re not some magical fix. They meet you exactly where you are.

Hormone-supportive massage, menopause-specific reflex points, skin rituals, and touch therapy — all designed to help you reconnect with parts of yourself that got lost somewhere between the hot flushes and the mood swings.

I know my stuff. But I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to stand beside you while you find your way through.

And if you’ve ever muttered “what the hell is happening?” into your moisturiser – you’re absolutely in the right place. The first book’s free to download. The next one’s coming.
