About Bridgette

My Story I live with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and like many here, my journey hasn’t been linear or straightforward. There have been periods where I’ve felt completely overwhelmed — physically depleted, mentally exhausted, and at times very alone in trying to make sense of what was happening in my body. When perimenopause began alongside MS, it added another layer of complexity that I wasn’t prepared for, and I struggled to find clear, joined-up support. What I found most challenging wasn’t just the symptoms themselves — it was the lack of understanding around how these conditions interact. Fatigue, cognitive changes, inflammation, mood shifts… it can feel like everything is amplified, yet often treated separately. At my lowest point, I was bed-bound and unsure if things would improve. But over time, I began to rebuild — slowly, consistently, and with a lot of trial, learning, and self-compassion. My Work & Mission Through that experience, I developed a deep interest in understanding the intersection between neurological conditions, hormones, and overall wellbeing. I now work as a menopause and lifestyle coach, supporting women — particularly those navigating complex health journeys — to better understand their bodies and regain a sense of control. My focus is not on quick fixes, but on: * Stabilising the nervous system * Reducing overwhelm and inflammation * Supporting energy, resilience, and clarity * Helping women work with their bodies rather than against them ⸻ My Knowledge & Approach My work combines: * Lived experience of MS, CFS, and perimenopause * Coaching and behavioural insight * A strong focus on practical, sustainable lifestyle strategies * An understanding that every body responds differently I’m particularly passionate about raising awareness that midlife hormonal changes can significantly impact neurological conditions, and that women deserve better recognition, support, and guidance in this space.
