       One minute I felt fine... the next, I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious & raging at everyone & wondering
What the hell's going on!

I'VE LIVED THE CHAOS
Now, as a Menopause Coach  
I HELP WOMEN TAKE
THEIR POWER BACK!

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE M8s  -  REAL LIFE  -  REAL CHAOS  -  REAL PURPOSE

WHO IS SHAR?

Before menopause, coaching & MenoM8s, my life was anything but predictable...

​

I grew up surrounded by music & performance.

Being brought up in an International Showband, becoming a dancer & appearing all over the world. I've managed entertainment teams on holiday centres, a busy box office at Billy Smarts Circus & everything in between!

 

Live entertainment is in my blood. YES, I'm the one that'll stand outside an arena to get to the barrier of a Take That concert too!

​

Away from work, I’m a live-music geek, travel addict & a firm believer that life is too short to worry about what anyone thinks of me.

I love the feel of the Carribbean holiday sun, Blackpool trips with the hubby, good company, Pride & a decent bottle of bubbly!

​

Underneath all the glitter & silliness, my family is everything to me. I don't know where I'd be without their love & support. There's been more than once that I've got on my own nerves - never mind theirs & yet, they don't judge me.

​

Menopause has tested my relationships, sense of who I am & my confidence to the limit! For a while, I completely lost myself & I struggled on a daily basis to keep life "normal". It has also given me a new purpose: To help women on their menopausal journey, to feel understood, supported & far less alone. 

 

So, in short, that’s the real Shar:

A self confessed, straight-talking, big-hearted, slightly bat-sh*t crazy, honest, reliable friend - that is always ready to stand firmly in your corner.

THE
NEXT CHAPTER

I have worked with businesses centered around women - from make-up & skincare to wellness & weight loss alongside beauty & bridal makeovers.

 

Different industries, but the lesson has always been the same; Women need honest support.

MENOPAUSE 
CHANGED IT...

Once I began learning, everything clicked & I realised that millions of women were struggling in silence too.

​

I trained with Lauren Chiren at Women of a Certain Stage & my personal experience changed & became something much bigger!

I’ve had plenty of “normal” jobs, in the past, but two words changed everything for me, Ann Summers.

​

It started off being about "finding Me" again but quickly showed me how much I loved supporting women. It was never just about the sales.

HOW DID I GET HERE?

Somewhere along the way, so many women have stopped being themselves.

THIS IS WHERE
I'M MEANT TO BE...

I keep seeing women putting everyone else first!

​

I'm here to remind you, that YOU matter. I'll never stop being your biggest cheerleader & the voice inside your head that say's "You are NOT alone"
