Recenzje

"CBT helped me a lot. I was able to focus more on the areas I was struggling with. The breathing techniques helped me to manage my anxiety levels when they came on. I made more time for myself and changed my diet. By doing this I was able to stop the triggers for symptoms of menopause - I feel in control again" Nicolina Reynolds

"The CBT process was a turning point in managing my menopause experience. Not only did it help me to manage my symptoms and get them into perspective, it accelerated the psychological acceptance of menopause. I went from feeling old and miserable to feeling better about myself than I have in years. It feels really good to finally be happy in my own skin." Rebecca Berry
