After a couple of days of back story, we finally get to the juicy bit…
What help can Harley St at Home offer?
HSAH is a private & free menopause community which was launched at the beginning of the the first lockdown on Facebook & has grown from 300 to 13,200 members.
Nigel gathered specialists like Dr Naomi Potter, a menopause doctor, as well as a variety of wellbeing specialists in a beautifully safe, supportive & caring community, full of advise & information to support women.
Eventually, the natural evolution was for HSAH to become a bespoke website with a huge amount of information & resources to support women during this life changing transition.
Nigel is acutely aware that a lot of women struggling with the menopause have never put themselves first. They have never thought they were deserving of prioritising self-care for themselves. Many women think that wellbeing & things like yoga & meditation are for rich women or celebrities, without thinking it can be for them too. HSAH is making all this & much more readily available to all women.
HSAH offers such a wide variety of self-care options to women to try so that they can work out what their own individual self-care toolkit looks like at an extremely affordable price (less than 70p per day). Essentially, it is a menopause wellness centre on line.
Why Harley St at Home?
I chose HSAH simply because the quality of all the classes, courses, advice & support is so high but it’s in your own home. Which makes it extraordinarily accessible. There is nothing exclusive about this community except the quality of the content available to women.
Nigel is keen for women to understand that they have a choice here. Menopause (& peri-menopause) is more than just a hormonal change. It affects mind, body & soul & there is an affordable approach to tackling all elements of the menopause in a safe & supportive space enabling women to put themselves first.
Nigel’s aim is to encourage women who are not used to prioritising themselves to have the choice to create their own self-care toolkits & a life in which they can thrive. Self-care is not selfish, it is essential. Self-care is important at every time of life but more than ever during the peri-menopause & menopause. And let’s face it, we are worth it.
How does it work?
There are 2 options available: the free option to help you decipher what actually is going on with access to a menopause symptom tracker & menopause survival pages including a blog.
Paid membership gives access to a schedule that is packed with over 40 different classes each week from strength, aerobic, yoga, meditation & mindfulness, face yoga, nutrition, medical classes from the Dr’s & it’s only £19/month.
And Nigel has kindly offered Frost readers 20% off membership for life. So it’s less than 50p per day. Just type in FROST20 when you go to the website to sign up & let technology do the rest.
On any given day there are 5-6 menopause specific exercises classes, information sessions, self-care workshops from real women who understand menopause because they are going through it themselves.
Join me tomorrow to hear Nigel’s advise for those who are suffering with peri & meno symptoms.
For 20% off membership for life type in FROST20
