Hi, I’m Jo an Aromatherapist with over 28 years of experience in practice.
My area of speciality is women’s health and well-being, focusing on menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause.
Alongside my private practice I teach essential oil therapeutics and massage at diploma level and CPD (continuing professional development). I am a published author and frequently write about the efficacy of aromatherapy for journals, magazines and other publications.
I love how the application of massage and essential oils can be so powerful. Essential oils are concentred aromatic extracts from individual plants to support our health. Humans have used plant medicine for centuries and aromatherapy is a formalised extension of this.
Each essential oil has its own unique set of therapeutic properties that can support diverse needs, including hormonal balance, skin care, digestive issues, sleep concerns, aches and pains and emotional support. Today, through modern research, we have a better understanding of their beneficial actions that mirrors how they have been used for millennium.
At your first appointment I will take a detailed consultation that allows me to ascertain your needs and rule out any cautions or contraindications to the oils or massage. I then create a bespoke blend of essential oils and apply this via massage to support you on that day and going forward!

My name is Melanie White. I graduated with a degree in human physiology and taught beauty therapy for over 20 years. In 2015, I set up my own electrolysis practice after unprecedented demand for electrolysis specialists in the South.
Electrolysis the only permanent method of hair removal and I am one of a few therapists who works exclusively as an electrologist.
I have considerable experience of working with a wide variety of clients including PCOS, unwanted menopausal hair, genetic and hormonal hair growth, laser stimulated hair growth, and clients who have been dissatisfied with treatment elsewhere.
Following a consultation and test patch, a treatment plan is recommended based on your individual situation. A fine sterile disposable probe is used along with the latest technology and techniques to release a small electrical pulse that actively reduces the hair growth over time. It is a safe and reliable method that has been used for over 100 years. There are no permanent side effects. There will be a temporary reddening of the skin. Some temporary marks may occur.
I have clinics in Worthing and Hove with evening and weekend appointments available.

My name is Victoria and as a Health Coach, I work with women who are in the perimenopause or menopause who for one reason or another find themselves in a confusing and frustrating place. They may be gaining weight, suffering from low motivation, be low in energy or just feel out-of-sorts. Research now shows that we can make effective health gains by implementing personal changes to our diet, movement and day-to-day habits. However, we all know that making these changes can be hard and that is where coaching comes in.
Coaching is a unique tool in your self-care journey because it can be the key to unlocking the self-awareness necessary to create truly life-changing habits. . As a Health Coach, I have the skills and expertise to guide you this process, giving you the ability to self-manage your way through difficult and challenging times
If you feel ready for this powerful and non-judgemental support, please contact me to arrange a free, introductory call – proactive.victoria@gmail.com.
I have been working as a massage therapist for 20 years. Originally training in holistic massage, I have broadened my experience into many different aspects of bodywork during that time, before returning to where I started.
Our bodies are such wonderful, complicated things and can often bear the brunt of the demands that life brings. This can show up in many ways: tiredness, overwhelm, discomfort, aches and pains, sleeplessness. The list can be endless. And what causes problems for one person, may not for someone else – and vice versa. We are all different.
I provide restorative massage treatments for the individual you are. And for me this means the whole person that you are – body, mind and soul. Whether you have pain and discomfort or need space to switch off (or both), I believe that there is no one way of treating the body, it varies for each of us. This is reflected in the way that we might work together, creating a treatment that is tailored specifically for you.
This is particularly important when supporting you in perimenopause and menopause. The impact of hormones varies hugely and consequently so can your experiences around this deeply individual and potentially challenging aspect of your health. Your body can feel like it is changing dramatically during these times and this may feel confusing, scary and painful. Treatments provide a place to allow your body to be whatever it needs to be in that moment, to receive care at the level it is able to do so and give you some time for your nervous system to be supported.
The aim of our work together is to provide a space in which you feel heard and understood, where empathy and understanding are as integral as the touch used to soothe and ease your body. So that you feel more resourced as a whole and able to move through the world in your way, at your pace, with greater ease.

As a peri-menopausal mother of teens, I have first-hand experience of the power of nutrition to help reduce the triggers that cause unwanted hormonal symptoms and weight gain. I also know that our daily lives are so hectic that it is easy to feel daunted by the thought of making big changes to our diet and lifestyle, or to feel that we simply don’t have the time.
I have a keen interest in female health, particularly focusing on menstrual, hormone, and weight-loss issues. I help my clients to understand more about their health, and to appreciate how their dietary and lifestyle choices can affect their delicate hormone balance, their energy and their weight. I am passionate about supporting them to understand the reasons why their symptoms are occurring, as this will help their engagement with long-term changes.
MY AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST INCLUDE:
Female hormone-related issues from teen to post menopause, including PMS, period issues, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), peri-menopause, and menopause
Other hormone-related issues including thyroid and adrenal health
Day-to-day energy and fatigue issues
Mental wellbeing – ‘brain fog’, anxiety, mood swings
Weight loss support
Bone health
Nutrigenomic/DNA testing to discover how an individual’s inherited health risks can be reduced using nutrition and lifestyle changes

Symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction can be distressing and often emotive, but the good news is there is help. I’m passionate about helping people make sense of their symptoms and find solutions to enable them to get the most out of life.
An assessment with Sunnydale Physiotherapy starts with hearing your story, understanding your key issues, bringing together a picture of where you are now, how you got here and crucially where you want to get to.

In devising your tailor-made plan, I draw from my experience and training in whole body physiotherapy, pilates, acupuncture and specific pelvic health training.

Urinary and bowel incontinence
Pelvic organ prolapse
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM)
Pelvic pain (including endometriosis)

I have worked as a nurse and psychosexual therapist in the field of sexual medicine for over 20 years.
When working with clients I will often refer to ‘seasons of sex’, recognising that are many things that we face in life that can impact the way our bodies respond sexually and our sexual desire. Perimenopause and menopause is one such season. Genitourinary Syndrome of the Menopause (GSM) is a condition where women are more susceptible to urinary problems and vaginal issues which can often be triggered or exacerbated by sex. This can affect a woman’s desire to want to be sexual and if a couple are not used to talking about their sex life, navigating these challenges and implementing a plan can be difficult. For some women and couples, the menopause can be a liberating time sexually because it encourages couples to have candid conversations (sometimes for the first time) about their sex life and this can result in greater emotional intimacy, increased sexual pleasure and as a result increased sexual desire.
As a Psychosexual nurse therapist, I can see individuals or couples, and provide a safe and confidential space to listen carefully as they describe their sexual problems. There is a thorough assessment to see whether these difficulties are caused by psychological or physical factors – or both – and a treatment plan is then developed. I take a holistic approach when tailoring their treatment plan, considering each individual’s physical and emotional needs.
I offer both a medical and therapeutic approach when working with clients. This means I combine talking therapy, which involves analysing feelings, behaviours and thought patterns, and also discussing the relationship. I combine this with covering the practical issues, and recommending practical steps.
Once the initial assessment has been completed we formulate a treatment plan. For some women or couples I may see them for just one or two sessions and for others the work might be longer term. To arrange an appointment , or to learn more about the services I offer please visit my website, or email me info@emmawaring.com.

Hello, I’m Dr David Weinstein and I specialise in diagnosing and treating low testosterone in men.
I’ve been working as an NHS GP in Brighton for over 17 years. I have set up my men’s health clinic to provide a personalised, patient-centred, holistic review of men’s health and wellbeing.
Why work with me?
In early 2023 I found myself low in energy and mood. I was exercising regularly but my recovery and fitness levels were getting worse. I was gaining weight and I wondered if low testosterone could be playing a part. My levels were indeed low and the improvement to my general health and wellbeing were marked when I started taking testosterone replacement therapy.
Inspired by my own experience, I travelled to America to take part in a Harvard Medical School course on testosterone. In the USA, testosterone replacement therapy is completely normalised for men. It’s clear to me that the UK is behind the curve.
I have set up the Sussex Wellman Clinic to support men who could benefit as much as I have from testosterone replacement therapy.
Monique Simmons is the founder of Liberation Electrolysis, a specialist Worthing-based clinic dedicated exclusively to the permanent removal of facial hair using the most advanced electrolysis technology available today.
After experiencing unwanted facial hair herself, Monique understands just how much it can affect a woman’s confidence and self-esteem. That experience inspired her to create Liberation Electrolysis — a calm, private space where women can feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.
For many clients at the Women’s Hormone Clinic, rebalancing hormones is a powerful first step. However, once a hair follicle has been activated by hormonal changes, it will continue to produce hair even after hormone levels are stabilised. Electrolysis offers the only permanent way to address that, helping women feel fully comfortable and confident in their own skin again.
Monique specialises in treating hormonal facial hair related to perimenopause, menopause, and PCOS, combining advanced technology with a warm, compassionate approach. Her goal is simple: to make every woman feel comfortable, confident, and liberated.
Liberation Electrolysis — self-care that lasts a lifetime.
I'm Rachel, a Worthing-based Women's Health Specialist Naturopath and Herbalist with over 20 years in practice helping midlife women get a handle on their hormones.
With a degree in Human Biology and Diplomas in Herbal Medicine and Naturopathy, I believe in taking the best from both conventional and complementary medicines.
This combined approach benefits my patients enormously, as they receive bespoke herbal, dietary and lifestyle advice, based on their own unique medical history but run through the lens of any blood work, DNA and stool analysis, as required.
I'm the Chair of my professional association (Unified Register of Herbal Practitioners), an experienced clinical supervisor and I love public speaking and podcasting about all things women's health.
Whether in clinic or a conference room, my aim is the same: to improve the hormonal health of busy professional women so they can show up as the best versions of themselves, all month, every month.
I'm passionate about educating and empowering women during times of hormonal transition and set up Worthing Menopause Matters, a free community support group, to help the women of West Sussex navigate perimenopause and beyond with monthly guest speakers who are experts in their own particular area of menopause.
When not reading or talking about hormones, you can find me running on the beach, swimming in the sea, snowboarding in the Alps and walking my beloved Greek rescue dog on the Downs.

Hi, I’m Nikki.
I help women navigate menopause with strength, confidence, and clarity—so they can feel energised, capable, and truly themselves again.
With a long-standing career in the health and fitness industry, I specialise in supporting women through menopause using an integrated approach that combines strength training, nutrition, sleep and stress management.
My passion for women’s health deepened when I began my own menopause journey. Like many women, I experienced anxiety, fatigue, and low mood, but by applying the same evidence-based strategies I now use in my coaching, I rebuilt my physical and mental strength. That experience shapes how I support women today—focusing on sustainable, realistic changes that make a lasting difference.
Through EMPOWERED WOMAN Coaching, I guide women to:
• Build strength and resilience through tailored resistance training that supports bone, muscle, and metabolic health.
• Optimise nutrition to stabilise energy, support hormone balance, and promote healthy body composition.
• Improve recovery and sleep quality by addressing stress, circadian rhythm, and lifestyle factors that impact rest and wellbeing.
• Develop a positive mindset that fosters self-confidence, self-compassion, and long-term consistency.
My approach bridges the gap between fitness and functional health—helping women take control of their menopause journey and regain the energy, strength, and confidence they deserve.
Let’s make menopause a time of strength—not struggle.
We’re delighted to partner with Ellie Alexander, a functional medicine practitioner and Nutritional Therapist specialising in women’s hormone and gut health. Her expertise in advanced functional testing - including DUTCH hormone testing, comprehensive stool analysis and targeted nutritional and lifestyle interventions - offers powerful support for women navigating hormone-related challenges such as fertility issues, PCOS, endometriosis and the menopause transition.
Her work complements the medical care provided by our GPs, offering patients an all-round, integrative approach to their health. While our clinicians provide essential medical assessment, diagnosis and treatment, Ellie dives deeper into the lifestyle, nutritional, stress and gut-related factors that drive hormonal imbalance. Together, this partnership ensures every woman receives personalised, 360-degree support that tackles symptoms at their root and enhances long-term wellbeing.
About Ellie Alexander
With a Diploma in Naturopathic Nutrition, and a strong foundation in functional medicine, Ellie brings a uniquely scientific yet deeply compassionate approach to women's health. Her journey into this work began after years of unexplained gut issues, chronic stress and an autoimmune diagnosis. Healing her own gut, hormones and immune system through natural, root-cause-focused methods transformed her life - and inspired her to help other women avoid the same struggle.
Today, she is known for her thorough case-taking, strategic use of functional testing (including DUTCH, comprehensive stool testing, and organic acids testing), and holistic protocols designed to restore hormonal balance, strengthen gut health and build resilience overall. She supports women who are exhausted by symptoms that have been misunderstood or dismissed, helping them gain clarity, regain control and feel at home in their bodies again.
As a trusted partner to The Women’s Hormone Clinic, Ellie enhances the care clients receive by bridging medical expertise with personalised nutritional therapy - offering women the comprehensive, integrative support they need to feel well and thrive.
Hi, I’m Donna, a Brighton-based ADHD Coach.
🌱 My mission is simple: to help women with ADHD design their most fulfilled selves, thriving in a world that often misunderstands them.
As a late-diagnosed woman with ADHD, I understand firsthand how it feels to navigate a world not designed for our brains. After over two decades in the corporate world, I’ve learned how to work with my brain, not against it, to create a life and career I love.
Many of us reach adulthood undiagnosed, having developed coping strategies that can be exhausting or maladaptive. Masking and internalising symptoms like anxiety, perfectionism, or overwhelm can leave women feeling unseen or misunderstood.
I now focus on supporting women with ADHD to understand themselves, build practical strategies, and advocate for the support they deserve. This becomes especially important during key hormonal transitions like perimenopause and menopause.
Through 1:1 coaching, I help women with ADHD move from “stuck and self-critical” to “steady, self-aware, and thriving.
Coaching complements medication and traditional therapy, helping women translate insight into actionable change. I use a gentle, practical, and compassionate approach grounded in the Executive Functioning Framework from ADHD Works.
My work is tailored for women navigating late diagnosis, perimenopause, menopause, or other life stages that intensify ADHD challenges. Together, we focus on self-acceptance, building sustainable habits, and restoring confidence and self-trust and building a life designed for you.
If you’re finding it challenging to navigate your ADHD symptoms through hormonal changes, get in touch to see how I can support you on your journey.
We’ve got this.
