Louisa Franks
Meet Your Menopause Coach
I’m Louisa, a Perimenopause & Menopause Coach, Health Coach, and Sleep Specialist.
I’m passionate about helping women feel strong, confident, and supported as they navigate menopause and beyond. With a background in Psychology and Social Biology, and as a member of the British Menopause Society, my approach is evidence-based, compassionate, and practical.
About me, my story
My journey with menopause began unexpectedly in my mid-30s, when I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency. Alongside the physical challenges, I also faced infertility, which brought deep emotional struggles with anxiety and depression. It was a lonely, overwhelming time where I often felt there were few answers and little support.
During that period, exercise became my lifeline. Movement gave me strength, resilience, and joy when I needed it most. It was the turning point that inspired me to retrain, to combine my scientific background with my personal experience, and to help others find the support I once needed.
Today, I am a fully accredited Health Coach, Menopause Coach, and Sleep Specialist, as well as a qualified fitness instructor. I work with women not only on menopause but also on the wider foundations of wellbeing – sleep, nutrition, stress, fitness, and lifestyle – because I believe true health is about the whole picture.
I understand how overwhelming health challenges can feel, especially during menopause, but evidence shows that with the right knowledge and support, this stage of life can become one of growth, confidence, and vitality. My coaching approach is informed by current research about women’s health, psychology, and behaviour change, helping you not just to manage symptoms, but to build lasting wellbeing. My mission is to help you flourish through menopause and beyond, using proven strategies that restore balance, strengthen confidence, and empower you to thrive in every area of your life.
