Menopause changes more than your hormones.It's time the support caught up.
If changes to your confidence, emotions, energy, sleep or relationships have left you feeling less like yourself, I can help you understand the whole picture and identify what will make the biggest practical difference.
A personalised one-to-one 60-minute live Zoom coaching session with Annette Du Bois — to understand what's happening, identify what may be affecting you most, and get clearer about what to do next.
Or start with the live online workshop on Zoom, if you'd rather explore this in a group first.
Annette Du Bois is a menopause and midlife coach offering two ways to work together: Decoding Menopause, a personalised one-to-one 60-minute coaching session on Zoom (£59), and Why Don't I Feel Like Me?, a live one-hour group workshop on Zoom (£10). Both are designed to help women understand what's changing during perimenopause and menopause, and identify where to start.
Menopause shows up in more places than you'd expect. Tap each one.
Energy +
You're not lazy. Most women tell me they used to have energy to spare — now getting through an ordinary day takes real effort.
Confidence +
The confident version of you hasn't gone anywhere. She's just harder to access while everything else feels unfamiliar.
Sleep +
Broken sleep at this stage isn't just bad luck. It's one of the most common things women bring to me, and there's usually more underneath it.
Relationships +
Partners, friends, even your children — they notice the changes too, even if nobody's actually said anything yet.
Emotions +
If you've felt more emotional than usual and wondered what's wrong with you — nothing is. This is genuinely common.
Sense of self +
Not recognising yourself some days isn't dramatic. It's one of the first things women say to me when we start talking.
Hi, I'm Annette Du Bois.
Here's what I hear from almost every woman I work with. You've read the articles, followed the accounts, had well-meaning advice from every direction — a friend who swears by HRT, another who won't touch it, a sister-in-law with an opinion on all of it. And somehow, after all of that, you still don't know what to actually do. That's not a failure on your part. It's because none of it was ever about you, specifically.
And then there's the comparison. Scroll for five minutes and you'll find a woman who seems to have it all figured out — the right routine, the calm certainty, the glow. You don't need another version of someone else's journey. You need your own.
There's real common ground here — genuine, standard symptoms most of us will recognise. But how menopause shows up for you, what it affects most, and what actually helps, is entirely individual. That's the part most advice skips straight past.
This is usually why earlier attempts haven't quite worked:
- Generic symptom checklists that don't reflect your actual priorities
- Conflicting opinions from articles, forums and well-meaning friends
- Comparing your experience with other women's
- Trying to change everything at once
- Treating each symptom separately instead of seeing how they connect
Here's something worth saying plainly: menopause may be part of the picture — but it isn't always the whole picture. Poor sleep, work pressure, family responsibilities, relationship strain and the wider demands of midlife all interact with hormonal change. Brain fog, low mood or a short temper might be menopause, or midlife, or both, or something else entirely. Part of my job is helping you tell the difference, not assuming everything difficult is automatically "the menopause."
What's yours?
What you're genuinely noticing — in your body, emotions, thinking, relationships and everyday life.
What's noise?
What fears, expectations, comparisons or assumptions may have come from social media, other people, or the wider menopause conversation.
What helps?
What needs medical advice, a practical adjustment, emotional support, a clearer boundary, or a different response.
My job isn't to hand you more information. It's to help you see your whole picture clearly, and work out what's actually true for you. That's what The R.E.N.E.W. Method™ is built to do.
This isn't a replacement for medical care — it works alongside your GP, HRT or any other treatment you're using, focused on the practical, everyday side of things.
Menopause isn't experienced in compartments.Neither should the support be.
The R.E.N.E.W. Method™ is how I look at the whole picture — not a generic checklist, but what's actually true for you.
Recognise
Understanding what's happeningHelping women understand what is happening in their body and mind — so confusion becomes clarity and overwhelm becomes something they can work with.
Equalise
Stabilising nervous system & rhythmStabilising the nervous system, managing stress and restoring daily rhythm — the foundation without which everything else is harder.
Nourish
Lifestyle, energy & wellbeingSupporting the lifestyle behaviours that underpin wellbeing — movement, energy management, sleep and the practical self-care that makes a genuine difference.
Empower
Confidence & emotional resilienceRebuilding confidence, communication and emotional resilience — helping women reclaim their voice, their boundaries and their sense of self.
Wake Up
Purpose & identity rebuildRediscovering purpose, rebuilding identity and stepping into the next chapter of life with direction, energy and genuine forward momentum.
Here's how that looks in practice: disrupted sleep lowers energy, lower energy shortens patience, shorter patience strains relationships, and all of that quietly erodes confidence. Most advice treats each of those as a separate problem. R.E.N.E.W. traces the connection back to find where a change will actually make the biggest difference.

You do not need to become somebody else.
Menopause can leave you questioning who you are, but moving forward doesn't require a dramatic reinvention. I'll help you understand what's changing, recognise what you genuinely need, and develop practical strategies that work in your life — so you feel clearer, stronger and better equipped for whatever comes next.
I'm not going to tell you what you should be eating, give you another exercise routine, or pretend that wine o'clock is the answer to getting through menopause.
I'm also not going to tell you how menopause should feel, because your experience doesn't have to match anybody else's.
What I can promise is that the focus will be on you — what you're actually experiencing, what may be influencing it, and what could genuinely help.
What I won't do:
- Tell you exactly what to eat
- Hand you another generic exercise routine
- Present supplements as the answer for everyone
- Join in with the "wine o'clock" culture around menopause
- Tell you how menopause should look or feel
- Assume every difficult day must automatically be menopause

Questions about Decoding Menopause & coaching
How do I know if coaching is right for me? +
That's exactly what Decoding Menopause is for. We'll spend a full hour working through what's happening, so you'll leave knowing clearly whether ongoing coaching would help — not just guessing.
Is this therapy or medical treatment? +
No. Coaching isn't therapy or medical treatment, and I don't diagnose or prescribe. It sits alongside any medical care you're already receiving, focused on the practical, everyday side of things.
Can I do coaching alongside HRT or other medical support? +
Yes. Coaching works alongside HRT, other medication, or any medical support you're currently receiving — it's not a replacement for it.
What actually happens during Decoding Menopause? +
We work together for the full hour using my framework — looking at what's happening, what may be influencing it, and where to start. It's a real working session, not a sales call disguised as one.
Will I be pressured into ongoing coaching? +
No. The session stands on its own, whether or not you continue. If ongoing coaching looks right, I'll explain what I'd recommend — the decision is entirely yours.
How much does this cost? +
Decoding Menopause costs £59. If ongoing coaching would help, packages and investment are discussed after your session.
How many sessions might I need if I continue with coaching? +
That depends entirely on what you're working through — we'll discuss a realistic timeframe based on what comes up in your Decoding Menopause session.
Are sessions online, and is this available internationally? +
Yes — sessions are online, so this is available wherever you are.
What if you don't think ongoing coaching is right for me? +
I'll tell you honestly, and where relevant, point you toward the kind of support that might help instead. Either way, you'll still leave the session with real clarity.
