Gemma and Nikki’s Story

We caught up with Gemma and Nikki who attended a Thrive through Menopause 8 week Pilates programme in Folkestone.

Gemma told us “I started the menopause quite young so a lot of my friends didn’t really know what I was talking about and I saw this group and I thought I’m going to go and see what it is that I am moaning about all day every day and all night every night.”

Nikki said “I was having really bad anxiety and mood swings and it’s kind of really basically gone. I’m not grumpy so much. I’m a happier mummy.”

Gemma added “We’ve come together like we’ve known each other forever because we’re all suffering from the same thing that no one talks about. And to be able to come and talk about it so freely, but in an environment where it’s supportive, it’s just really refreshing.”
