Wicklow & Kildare Menowellness Toolbox offers a very clear tailor-made ‘’roadmap’’ for each woman. We see mental wellbeing support as part of a larger picture, including hormonal fluctuations, nutrition, exercise, sleep, healthy boundaries and long-term lifestyle changes.
Instead of signalling the end, menopause conducts a period where energy, strength, and wisdom can be channeled in new ways. Vitality in this stage is about embracing life with resilience and redefining what it means to thrive, both physically and emotionally. It’s a time to tap into inner reserves of strength, experience, creativity, and purpose, allowing for personal reassessment and deeper self-understanding.

About this Service
Mental health during perimenopause and menopause is crucial because these stages mark significant hormonal, physical, and emotional transitions in a woman’s life. The fluctuating hormone levels, particularly oestrogen, can significantly impact mental well-being, leading to a variety of psychological symptoms.
