Approaching Menopause

Welcome to ApproachingMenopause.com with Pamela Bird! This website is designed to assist women through the menopause phase of life. It is intended to be a place of sharing ideas, experiences and a celebration of the journey of womanhood.

Menopause is not experienced by all women in the same way. Much depends on the individual’s diet, lifestyle, genetics and attitudes held by the woman, her family, culture and society about ageing. If you come from a world that does not respect older people and is narrowly focused on youth, your menopause transition period may be more difficult to navigate.

My experience has shown that if a woman has unresolved emotional issues, or suffers from stress and anxiety then her journey through menopause can be more difficult.

However, you may also experience deep personal growth and a strong sense of liberation as you journey into your ‘second adulthood‘.

Menopause is quite simply the final pause of menstruation. This phase of a woman’s life is part of the natural aging process. It is not a disease or a disaster. Your ovaries slowly reduce the level of hormones (estrogen and progesterone) they produce and child bearing is no longer an option. For many women this is a big relief. Generally speaking, health professionals agree that 52 is the average age when full menopause takes affect. The full range is between 42 to 56.

If you feel confused about whether this is happening to you or would just like to find out if we can help then:
