A Personal and Inspiring Journey at the Henley Craft Fair

The past weekend will forever stand out in my memory, as it brought an incredibly rewarding experience at the Henley Craft Fair.

As a dedicated menopause coach and counsellor, I was given the invaluable opportunity to connect with women on their individual peri-menopausal and post-menopausal journeys, and what unfolded during those four days was nothing short of remarkable.


Immersed in the lively atmosphere of the fair, surrounded by stalls brimming with creativity and passion, I felt an instant connection with the women who approached the Shhh… Menopause Wellness stand. Each conversation became a window into their lives, their challenges, and their aspirations as they navigated the complex landscape of menopause. In these moments, my role as a coach take on a deeper meaning. Engaging with women who are treading the path of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) was particularly impactful. The mix of anticipation and uncertainty in their eyes mirrored the complex emotions that come with making decisions about health. Through heartfelt conversations, I was able to provide insights and advice that catered to their unique circumstances.

Sharing evidence-based information about the benefits and potential concerns of HRT, I watched as a wave of relief washed over their faces. There’s something truly profound about being able to ease someone’s worries and provide them with a sense of control over their own well-being. Those interactions go beyond clinical advice; it is about building trust and empowering women to take charge of their journey.

Equally significant were the discussions I had with women who were exploring alternative paths, those who couldn’t or chose not to pursue HRT. The stories they shared were deeply personal, often rooted in a mix of hope and frustration. As I listened, I found myself drawing on my expertise to offer holistic strategies that encompassed nutrition, mindfulness, and self-care practices.

To everyone who joined me on this journey, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. The support of the event organisers, the openness of the women who shared their stories, and the sense of camaraderie that permeated the fair all contributed to an unforgettable experience.

As I look back on that weekend, I am reminded of the deep connection forged through shared stories and the transformative power of support. The path through menopause may be individual, but it doesn’t have to be isolating.

The Henley Craft Fair became a space where women uplifted one another, where knowledge was a bridge, and where empowerment was the ultimate goal. With gratitude for the past and anticipation for the future, I eagerly await the next opportunity to continue this journey alongside women navigating the intricate terrain of menopause.

The Henley Craft Fair marked not just an event but a transformative chapter, one that highlighted the strength of community, the impact of sharing, and the beauty of embracing change together.
