Gill Hamrebtan, an experienced and versatile fitness/menopausal practitioner of 22 years is the owner and Director of Menobliss. After being in the fitness industry for many years, Gill became menopausal. Hot flushes, dizziness, weight gain and lack of sleep were not an easy thing to deal with when teaching 20 or more classes a week. Gill had started to lose her vitality, but was still passionate about what she did, and wasn’t prepared to hang up her trainers!  Listening to other women, she knew she wasn’t alone.
Some G.P’s may offer HRT or anti-depressants, and then you’re on your own. There is very little help out there for the millions of women suffering everyday.

Gill was aware that her hormones were very much out of balance, and attended an accredited 3rd age peri to post menopause course that was aimed at fitness professionals. By taking this course, she realised that it wasn’t just her oestrogen and progesterone that were creating problems, but also her cortisol due to her high stress levels. All of this combined together was having a massive affect on her hormones and creating an imbalance that was destroying her health. Having finished the training, she then slowly implemented the nutritional, stress and exercise strategies that would make a huge difference to her health and well-being. Initially she worked on alleviating hot flushes, and as these lessened, she realised that these strategies had also impacted other areas, namely her sleep patterns which improved immensely.

From this Menobliss was created. Gill wanted to give other women the tools to take back control of their hormones and their life. By making a few tweaks nutritionally and changing her exercise routine, she is now in control of her menopause, and if she falls off the wagon, these changes are easily implemented to get back on it.
