Hello I’m Hazel. I am a British Menopause Society registered specialist and trainer and I train other healthcare professionals in menopause.

 

I started working in woman’s health in 2006 having returned to work after having my 2 boys. Prior to this I worked as a specialist nurse in cardiovascular disease and respiratory health. My passion has always been around preventative health and how best to care for ourselves both physically and emotionally.

 

After spending 19 years working in Primary Care and 36 years working in the NHS, I decided to set up my own menopause clinic (Bristol Menopause). I had have always been passionate about woman’s health but particularly the years around the menopause and the effects hormones have on woman’s physical, emotional and psychological health. In particular I wanted to support woman holistically.

 

I have always studied in the relevant qualifications to support my area of care. This has included a Masters in sexual health in menopause and a nutrition diploma to help understand more the role of health and nutrition in woman’s health.

 

On my own menopause journey I had struggled to find the right treatment and like most woman had bought various supplements. However when looking at the ingredients I was worried that many contained excipients and additives which concerned me. As such I spent the next 2 years researching supplements, vitamins and minerals to create my own range.

 

I was also able to obtain feedback from patients at my menopause clinic to ensure that I created supplements where there was a real need. The results are a range of Menopause By Hazel supplements that are well researched, have no added (and unnecessary) excipients or additives and that can be taken with HRT but are also suitable for those unable or unwilling to take HRT.
