Women looking for one-to-one menopause support can work with Julie Saunders in person at The Wellness Room in St Lawrence Bay or virtually from wherever they live.
Julie first qualified in complementary therapies in the early 2000s before moving into nursing to broaden her understanding of the body. After working across several specialities, she now brings that combined experience to every woman she supports.
After opening The Wellness Room in 2022, Julie noticed a pattern in conversations with clients. Some were describing changes they had not linked to perimenopause or menopause. Wanting to offer informed, practical support, she trained as a Menopause Lifestyle Practitioner.
Julie’s approach looks beyond a list of symptoms to understand each woman as a whole. Her one-to-one menopause sessions are bespoke, calm & unrushed, giving women time to be heard & explore realistic lifestyle changes that fit around everyday life.
The same sense of calm runs through the holistic treatments she offers locally to women of all ages. Lymph drainage massage is currently especially popular. Across all treatments, every appointment includes time to pause, settle & switch off.
The latest milestone in Julie’s journey is receiving the Holistic Therapist of the Year – Essex award in the London & South East England Prestige Awards 2026/27.
“I feel humbled & grateful to receive this award. My dream was to create a space where women can step away from everyday pressures, feel safe & simply pause. Whether a woman comes for menopause support or a holistic treatment, I want her to feel heard, cared for & never rushed. If she needs to talk, switch off or even have a little cry, there is space for that. The lovely ladies who have supported me over the past four years helped make The Wellness Room what it is today, & I would not be here without them.”
