Welcome to the Sandvik UK Group Menopause Support Service

‘I am delighted to become a part of the wonderful team at My Menopause Centre and to support women on their menopause journey. Menopause can present with a myriad of symptoms, often catching women unaware and at a time when many are juggling their responsibilities at work and home and often ageing relatives. This can leave women feeling overwhelmed, alone and anxious. While 51% of the world population will go through menopause, how little people talk about it and the lack of awareness is astounding!  This lack of awareness is even more so within ethnic minority communities where difficulties in accessing menopause care are further compounded by cultural beliefs and language barriers. My intimate understanding of Asian culture and fluency in Hindi and Urdu helps me to establish rapport with women from this background and I hope to ease their access to menopause care’

“Menopause transition is a journey, and my role is to walk alongside the woman, supporting her through it. I am delighted to be working with My Menopause Centre to be able to support women through their menopause journey. I’ve been a BMS (British Menopause Society) menopause specialist for nearly 10 years. Everyone woman has a different menopause story to tell and it’s so important to identify everyone’s individual needs.
