About Deborah

Deborah Parkinson is a London based qualified Usui Reiki Master Teacher, and is also a Holistic therapist within a spectrum of diverse therapies. She has been working as Reiki therapist for the past eighteen years on a part time basis, as well as working full time for a Corporate organisation.

In 2017, Deborah ventured into a new passion in Ceramics, just to simply try something new! She has a drive to constantly and personally challenge herself, even with her eclectic lifestyle to create a better work-life balance for herself and others. Deborah applies a holistic approach to Life Solutions. This enables her to develop new creativity ideas.

Deborah has transferred her skills from Holistic Therapist/Coach/Manager dealing with people on a daily basis from a business professional to becoming a therapist. She has been able to transfer all the skills into her work in Ceramics.

Deborah has now created a business for her Ceramics known as Nerofish® which also includes and protects her photography and textiles, such as crochet and knitting.

The effects of the Pill with young women.
The REAL menopause symptoms.
How we can work with Menopause and reduce our symptoms, and many more.

I would advise you to get your notebook because Pamela is a wealth of knowledge.

Pamela is an international certified integrated women's health coach and menopause in the workplace consultant with 20+ years of experience in the health and wellness sector. She understands the unique physical and psychological challenges that modern women face throughout their lives.

For five years, she struggled with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and she was forced to quit employment and sell her home.

Despite how hopeless the situation felt, she decided to take matters into her own hands and reclaim her health. By adopting a whole new approach to health and wellness, she soon was on the path to recovery.

She is passionate about supporting and empowering women in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. She has helped hundreds of women feel amazing (both inside and out).

She is a speaker and also menopause in the workplace consultant. She uses evidence-based practices to combine training and techniques with organisations, individual needs, and senior leaders. So collectively, we change the landscape of menopause for women of today and the future generation.
