My clients say

“When I started to feel menopause allergies for real this year (in my case: sore joints, brain fog, fatigue/heavyness) I started looking for help and was recommended to many.

Some of the things I knew was important to me:

1) I wanted to talk to a woman.

2) I wanted to talk to a woman who HERSELF had gone through menopause and was ON THE OTHER SIDE of it.

3) I would talk to a woman who only offered advice and would not sell me an item (a certain supplement, a certain course, a certain ideology)

4) I wanted to talk to a (postmenopausal) woman who looked healthy, vital and HAPPY.

In other words, a wise woman with 1) self-experience and 2) expertise.

I was recommended to sally walker. Looked at her website, saw the picture of her (and thought Wow! ) read her background and immediately booked an appointment.

Sally has just turned 67.

Besides looking stunningly lovely, she’s sweet, warm and smart. And knows a whole lot about hormones and health. She is from England, but has lived in Denmark most of her life and speaks fluent Danish. (She now lives in Lanzarote though… because… nice weather, freedom and light… )

One thing I also like about Sally is that you book a 30 minute Zoom consultation for €40 This is absolutely a reasonable price.

(One of my activist fights is don’t let menopause ruin you)

For me – who hadn’t had particularly good experience talking to my doctor about my symptoms – and who had not yet been referred to a gynecologist – Sally was exactly the person I needed.

She acted primarily as an “educator” in my first conversation.

She gave me completely basic knowledge of my cycle – pedagogical and empathetic. Knowledge, which I’m actually embarrassed that I didn’t already have at the age of 50. For example, it was Sally who taught me that you can menstruate even if you don’t have an erection. I had no idea about that. And that explains a lot….

I learned about the menstrual cycle in school (hands up if you also still remember the bizarre expression “yellow body” back then) and I was naturally obsessed with my cycle when I was pregnant. But since then no one has told me or taught me what happens – hormonally – in the body when you as a woman are on the other side of 40 and closer to 50. And let me just say: It’s not a small thing!

I thought menopause was something about hot flashes and missing periods. I did not experience any of it. And was confused .

Sally taught me about the different hormones, when they are at stake in my cycle and what happens when the hormones no longer function the way they used to. Ladies, there isn’t just a cute decline in our hormones. They are going crash diving (! ) and – for many of us – it can be felt. Physically.

She answered all my “stupid” questions. She suggested what I could do to relieve my symptoms. There was no dogma or admonitions. Exclusively a presentation of different possibilities. And it was really nice.

I like the fact that she is independent She’s not in anyone’s pocket. She’s neither hormone frightened nor out to push hormones at all costs. She is listening.

We have talked many times now and we have the same approach to this phase: namely that it’s a very EXCITING period in a woman’s life. And at the same time, this is not a period that we need to suffer through, if relief is available. We have to do what we can to make it good. And what that is is, is individual.

Sally is not a replacement for a doctor or gynecologist, it goes without saying. She’s neither and she can’t print anything.

But she can be (is! ) really good to talk to introductory, when you’re a bit around the floor and don’t really know what’s up and down. Or if you need something more comprehensive “education” than the one you get at the doctor.

When you enter this phase, and actually feel it physically, you have a thousand questions. I certainly did have. And it has been/is so nice for me to have someone to talk to and be able to ask questions.

I can easily talk to my girlfriends but none of us are experts. Sally explains it so I understand what is really going on inside my body. And I will not be ruined.

I don’t believe there’s a one-size-fits-all model when it comes to menopause.

And I also don’t think there’s one magic bullet that just solves everything.

This phase is both physical and psychological. We are changing . Our bodies are changing . And our minds are changed. Things that once were important, does not feel so important anymore. Things that were no longer important suddenly become very important.

My own experience is that my bullshit threshold has been significantly lower. I’m done with shit no more I have close to zero tolerance for mediocrity My own mortality is no longer diffused but vivid, and the last 30-40 years (if I’m lucky) of my life should not be fucking wasted. Action needs to be taken NOW. Priorities need to be set high. What can’t stand must fall. That which has energy must be nourished. And that goes for all areas.

And I want it to be GOOD. And if I can look just about as good as Sally does at 67 I’ll be happy.

I seriously have the craziest crush on older women. In many ways, I feel that youth is SO overrated.

Wisdom man That’s moving!

Experience.

Depth.

Cry.

Perspective.

I do.

We have so much to learn from women who have already walked the path. Women who have a head start and can look back and remind us lovingly that it will get better. Maybe even better than what we grew out of.

(One of my closest friends is 73 and if you don’t have a friend older than you, I recommend it. A wise elder. Someone with a head start. The spider kicks are inspiring – and calming for one’s nervous system).

Anyway, it was actually just a recommendation from Sally Walker. I have a crush on her.

I don’t get a percentage. I’m just genuinely happy customer”.
