It took Kate over 4 years to receive the correct help and support she needed after lengthy and robust challenge to her GP, having undergone numerous unnecessary investigations and misdiagnosis.

Her extended professional qualifications enable her to be able to diagnose and prescribe for the perimenopause, menopause and PMS, PMDD.
