About Sarah
From Overwhelmed to Empowered
I'm a CPD Certified Menopause Coach, Trainer and the founder of Flamingo Menopause Coaching. I believe that every woman has the power within her to find her balance. My role is to help her find it.
Why I Became a Menopause Coach and Trainer
When menopause crept up on me, my confidence dropped through the floor. Nobody around me was talking about it, and I felt completely unprepared and alone. When I finally understood what was happening, I knew I didn’t want other women to go through the same experience.
So I set up a menopause support group in my workplace – and witnessed first-hand the extraordinary power of women supporting women. That moment changed everything. It inspired me to train as a Menopause Coach and Trainer, and eventually to create Balance – a space built entirely around helping women move from overwhelmed to empowered, at their own pace.
Drawing on my background in HR and senior leadership, my own lived experience, and years of supporting women both individually and in the workplace, I bring compassion, coaching and real-world understanding to everything I do.
My particular passion is mental health, mindset and helping women rediscover their sense of identity and balance – because I know that this chapter of life, while challenging, can also be one of the most transformative.
Whether you are looking for personal 1-1 coaching, the warmth of a small group, or expert support for your workplace – you are in the right place.
Rediscovering My Flamingo
When I was a teenager, a teacher once told me:
“You’ve got good ideas, but you can’t quite put them into practice.”
So when, much later, I found myself in a painting class with my leadership team, I felt nervous, even a bit embarrassed. Surely everyone would see I couldn’t do it.
But two hours later, I walked out with my very own flamingo painting. (He’s called Fabian, and he now sits proudly in my home office!). That experience taught me something important:
- We’re not defined by what we used to believe about ourselves
- With the right support, encouragement, and space - we can surprise ourselves
- Our version of success doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s
And that’s a lesson I carry with me into midlife and menopause.
This stage of life can feel unsettling – confidence wobbles, energy shifts, identity changes. But just like that flamingo, it’s not about losing who you are – it’s about creating the right environment to rediscover yourself.
That’s why I now work as a menopause coach: to help women feel supported, understood, and equipped to navigate this transition with confidence. Together, we break it down step by step, create a safe space, and celebrate your version of thriving.
Because you’re not “less than” during menopause – you’re evolving. And with the right support, there’s so much more still to come.
Here’s to finding your flamingo. 🦩💖
