WELCOME to Mother Flushing Midlife
I’m delighted you’re here…
I help busy women minimise the disruption of perimenopause, stop yo-yo dieting, and get comfortable and confident in their midlife body without constantly monitoring, counting and obsessing over food.
Maybe you’ve reached a crossroads. You’re busy, frazzled and struggling to sustain your pace of life. Niggling symptoms are creeping up on you…could they be perimenopause? Perhaps you’ve neglected your health whilst caring for everyone else, and now feel at the mercy of your hormones. Your body has changed. Your weight is up (despite constant attempts at the latest restrictive diet) whilst your body confidence is down. You want your mojo back but don’t have the enthusiasm for another complicated and punishing diet and exercise regime that never seems to deliver on it’s promises anyway.
You’re in exactly the right place. I work with busy midlife women just like you wishing to look and feel their best, prevent and reduce menopause discomfort, and finally manage their weight without constant restriction and dieting.

- Feel great with a Nutrition and Lifestyle plan personalised to your needs
- Prevent and minimise uncomfortable perimenopause symptoms

“I began coaching with Suzanne as I was experiencing perimenopause symptoms and wanted guidance on what to eat to help reduce them. But I got so much more. We’ve looked at my life as a whole-what’s working and what isn’t. And most importantly what I want my life and my health to look like long term. Something has shifted and I now feel in control of my life and future.
— Louise, 2023
