Balance Me Coaching & Reiki

Balance Me Coaching was launched by myself, Kate at 53 when I found my route to achieving balance. I have experienced a lifetime of hormonal imbalance (now known as PMDD), perimenopause stretched endlessly over 10 years and as my hormone levels dropped every aspect of me began to feel different in some way. I was more emotional, confused, anxious with increasing asthma and panic attacks I began to feel like I was falling apart. I discovered HRT quite late at 51 and then was found to be progesterone intolerant.

I was advised to have a full hysterectomy and had the procedure in 2023, followed by months if not years of rebalancing hormones and at breaking point I sought a private ADHD diagnosis. Brain fog and executive functioning unravelled and cloaked with the shame, the frustration the masking. The symptoms and changes to my mind and body were significant, osteopenia, aching limbs, restless legs, migraines, TMJ, memory loss, fatigue, frozen shoulder, bloating, inflammation, high ferritin every month seemed to be a new challenge.

I didn't have any idea what was happening to me I was ashamed, alone and felt embarrassed my the multiplying symptoms. If only I could reach out to someone ideally online who could hold space and help be find the tools sooner. If only employers were taking cases like mine seriously and women be protected and supported. Enabling leaders and teams have the confidence and awareness to offer meaningful support in work.

I could not do life any more I needed to change, to balance myself and love 'me' again. I took time for myself for reflection, meditation, met a wonderful teacher with clear lineage to Mikao Usui and became a Reiki qualified practitioner. I have professional coaching, business management and Human Resource MCIPD qualifications and registration and a lifetime in operational business, human resources and developing people.

And so I launched Balance Me Coaching & Reiki for you. I am still working on the offerings and will extend the portfolio of services in the near future. Keep an eye out for these!

I feel a strong calling to support as many people as I can to move towards their personal goals and find the inner strength and skills. Finding freedom and joy in their peri and menopause years.
