The Journey of Penelope Perry – A ‘serial love of learning’, led this librarian to fulfil her passions as a Personal Trainer and qualified Menopause Lifestyle Coach.
“When I was 24, my beautiful mum died at age 52. Her passing was brought on suddenly through lifestyle choices she had made over her younger years. Her death impacted me in a way I hadn’t yet experienced, and my grief made me reassess my own lifestyle choices.
So, I set out to live my life as whole as I could, turning to natural remedies and fitness to keep me healthy. But after many years of hormonal problems starting in my late twenties while trying to conceive, and my thirties after only being successful with one pregnancy (a gorgeous strong daughter), and then a hysterectomy at 44, I found myself seeking real answers in my late forties as to what I would possibly be facing in my transition through menopause.
I am a serial learner having spent almost 26 years as a librarian before retraining as a personal trainer at 48 and adding on nutrition and menopause coaching certifications. Everything in my life aligned with my passion to become a Menopause Coach to help other women.
When I discovered Wendy and the My Menopause Transformation courses for Health Professionals, I knew that Wendy’s philosophy of menopause in the context of healthy aging suited my own approach to life, and the wealth of knowledge and expertise Wendy delivered would be so valuable for my own client’s needs.
There is so much information out there and my client’s want simplified answers, support, empathy and know-how.
The confidence I have gained from my studies, particularly the MyMT™ courses, has meant I have helped my clients to discover a more natural approach to their menopause transition and not just to alleviate their menopause symptoms, but to also view the changes as a new long-term lifestyle.
To be able to explain why they need to make certain changes based on fact and backed by research, and to do so in a confident, skilled manner, is key in helping them keep consistent with good habits going forward. I wish I’d had this knowledge and help throughout my own hormonal problems in life.
It is such a joyful feeling when a client notices how much better they are coping, and you know you have helped them. What a powerfully satisfying experience!”
