How do I book a consultation?

The first step is to book a complimentary 30-minute 'Menopause Heart-to-Heart' chat with Phillipa via the 'Contact' page. This free, no-obligation session allows you to discuss your symptoms, goals and needs to determine which of the coaching options or consultations is the best fit for you.

I found working with Phillipa to be extremely helpful and constructive. She made me feel comfortable right away, and nurtured a space where I felt I could be totally honest with my feelings and my progress. The way Phillipa works is to encourage full engagement and input, and because of this I feel like the strategies and plans we came up with wholly reflect who I am, as well as my lifestyle: my ideas and input were very much a part of the solutions. Phillipa is full of encouragement and generous with her time. It was clear to me that she was thinking of me in between our sessions, and sharing information she had curated specifically for me. I felt listened to and cared for.

I was struggling with my menopause and the death of my parent, everything felt difficult but Phillipa gave me the steps to get out of this dark place. She worked with me, she didn’t push me, she eased me into finding my own path to wellness and feeling something like myself again. She taught me how to really care for myself. I think I’m so used to putting others first, she made me realise you have to put your own breathing mask on first before you attend to others. Phillipa is such a professional, she is supportive, kind and experienced. She makes you feel you are important. Thank you!

“Fuel and Live Well completely changed my approach. Phillipa helped me see that nourishing my body isn’t about rules or restrictions, it’s about learning what works for me, listening to my body and building habits that last. This wasn’t just coaching; it was self-discovery and I am so grateful for the knowledge I gained from her and her gentle and supportive manner throughout our coaching sessions.”

I worked with Phillipa for some months, initially to address what I believed was my main perimenopause symptom: brain fog. We also looked at my constant tiredness and lack of motivation. However I soon realised that what I was really struggling with was feeling overwhelmed and a sense that I’d lost myself. There’s a kind of alchemy in Phillipa’s approach - her advice around exercise, nutritional changes, and her gentle encouragement to reflect honestly on how I was feeling and what I could do to help myself - that really worked. I’ve made changes to my diet and I go to the gym without feeling like a fish out of water. I feel stronger and healthier and most importantly, I feel more confident. I’ve regained some control over my life.

“Every time I tried to exercise or eat well, I would get frustrated when I didn’t see instant results. As I entered perimenopause, I didn’t recognise the woman I was becoming. Everything was changing and I had no idea why. I felt fatter, weaker, grumpier and I ate to comfort myself. This programme guided me through the process, educating me on what my changing body needed and helping me focus on small, meaningful shifts rather than chasing perfection.”

Lola Q.
“Phillipa helped me understand my body in a way I never had before - how the type of exercise and the right nutrition, or to use her words fuel, work together to support my energy, hormones and long-term health. With Phillipa’s support, I stayed consistent and now I feel stronger, healthier and more in control of my wellbeing than ever before. This was the best investment I could have made in myself.”

Nice to meet you

Welcome to The Menopause Health Coach, where I help women navigate menopause and midlife with strength, confidence and renewed energy. My name is Phillipa Jacobs-Smith and my journey to becoming a menopause health coach has been deeply personal.

In my younger years, I was a competitive middle-distance athlete. Exercise felt natural to me; I thrived on it and my body responded effortlessly. But as I got older, things started to change. By the time I reached my 40s, I was confronted with a new reality: shifts in my body composition, a visible loss of strength and feelings that didn’t align with how I had always viewed myself. These changes led me to study menopause and midlife health. I believe every woman deserves to understand her own body so she can make informed, empowered choices for her health.
