Meet Wendy Gordon – Our newest MyMT™ Affiliate Coach based in Victoria, Australia.

Do you live in Victoria or Tasmania? Wendy Gordon has just trained to become a MyMT™ Affiliate Coach and she would love to support you with her new Wise Woman & Menopause Programme (which includes access to MyMT™ Circuit Breaker or Transform Me).

Her coaching is delivered online, so you can be based anywhere in the region. 

“When I turned 50 I thought I had dodged the challenges of peri-menopause. Not one hot flush. I had always been on the chubby side, and my cholesterol was on the rise but I wasn’t too concerned.

But I was exhausted. I worked 6 x 10-hour day shifts, and was on call overnight as a paramedic as I managed multiple branches. At the time I was a single mum of 3 and I also ran my Complementary Medicine Clinic part time after completing 5 years of intense study. I thought my restless sleep was an acceptable side effect of years of shift work. Basically, I stayed so busy that I didn’t recognise peri-menopause and I suppressed any health issues by being stoic. 

It was when I was promoted into a senior management role in Ambulance and relocated within the region that I recognised I had profound fatigue. I was isolating myself and I started to have suicidal thoughts regularly. I lost confidence in my role and contemplated quitting without any consideration of the financial consequences. I didn’t recognise myself for about 12 months.

I made an appointment at a women’s health clinic and left with a script for antidepressants, I didn’t tell anyone and felt alone and ashamed. After taking the medication, against everything I valued about natural medicine I threw them in the bin after 4 weeks feeling worse than ever.

My son recognised I was unwell and moved the girls and I in with him. This was when I started to be honest with myself and others about how I felt. I also started to research what was happening to me as the medical profession wanted to label it mental-health, but I knew there was more to it.

I am a registered Naturopath, Nutritionist, Herbalist, Meditation Facilitator, practicing Advanced Life Support Paramedic and ex Registered Nurse with 30 years of experience and yet I didn’t know how to help myself through this difficult stage of my life. None of my training talked about this.

I found Dr Wendy Sweet’s (PhD) MyMT™ programme on Facebook and read everything I could find from her.  I felt relieved and hopeful that I could possibly work my way back to health with solutions that aligned with my beliefs and values.

I joined the programme and worked on one change at a time and listed what I wanted my future to look like – daily walks, a whole food diet, restful, refreshing sleep, renewed confidence, no calorie counting, acceptance of myself and so much more. One by one I implemented the layers from the MyMT™ Transform Me programme. With Wendy’s help, my mental and physical health improved dramatically over time.

When Wendy advertised her inaugural Menopause Practitioner Course, I was genuinely elated because one of my goals was to help other women like me, and this was the perfect opportunity to continue learning from Wendy with a programme that I had so much belief in.

At the end of the course, as a result of my improved health and confidence in myself, I decided I wanted to focus on  women approaching their menopause transition. I decided to develop a virtual women’s health clinic and become a MyMT™ Affiliate Coach. 

My business, Your Health Naturally was created 10 years ago. I now offer the Wise Woman & Menopause Programme in combination with MyMT™ Circuit Breaker and Transform me programmes. The programme also includes personal one-to-one consultations with me, as well as a private Facebook community,  access to live sessions with guest speakers and so much more.  

Please get in touch if you would like to talk about the best option for you. Your Health Naturally can also be found on Facebook and Instagram.”
