She has completed her training as Advanced Menopause Specialist from Kings College Hospital, which is one of the leading menopause centres in London. This has given her the expert skills to manage all types of perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms and prescribe Regulated Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
