About Diane Danzebrink
Author of Making Menopause Matter, Diane is a therapist, speaker, educator and corporate consultant with professional nurse training in menopause, Diane Danzebrink is also the founder of not-for-profit organisation Menopause Support and the UK’s #MakeMenopauseMatter campaign.
Now living in Norfolk, Diane is on a mission to ensure better quality information about menopause can be accessed by anyone who needs it and is keen to support women living in the local area.
Visitors to Marks & Spencer can pick up a copy of her free ‘Understanding Menopause’ booklet; a factual, evidence-based resource that is endorsed by the British Menopause Society.
Regularly appearing in the national press and asked to comment on issues relating to menopause (with appearances on ITV’s This Morning, Sky News, BBC Breakfast and Loose Women), Norwich women, their friends, partners, and family members, now have the chance to ask Diane questions face to face.
Diane comments: “We’ve been taking Menopause Support to the high street in Norwich, and next we’ll be in the local Marks and Spencer store. If you’re out shopping or taking your lunch break and have anything you want to ask me about menopause, because you want to get better informed to help yourself, a friend, daughter, sister, colleague, loved one or partner, please come and chat. We can answer anything about perimenopause, menopause and the wide variety of physical and mental challenges this stage in life brings.
“The more conversations we have about menopause and the impact it can have on women and the people around them, the better. Approximately 1 in 10 women leave the workplace due to menopause symptoms and, in our Facebook support group of more than 34,500 people, we hear daily, firsthand accounts from women whose lives, relationships and families are imploding due to the hormonal changes that occur during this stage in life. Despite this, GPs and practice nurses
still do not receive mandatory menopause training and there is still no Government funded public health campaign for menopause. It is not acceptable that women must struggle during this period of their life without access to specialist medical support and information. We are here to change that.”
