In this episode Corrine shares with us her POSITIVE (yay!) perimenopause journey. Corrine had changed her environment (moving from Cardiff to Melksham) and her work-life balance (opening up her own classical Pilates studio), as well as having her children later on in life. All of this may have contributed to her slightly easier ride through perimenopause so far but it’s wonderful to hear about her journey and her true passion for looking after other women when they come along to her Pilates classes in her gorgeous home studio. If you’ve been inspired by Corrine’s story and would like to come onto the podcast to share your own, please get in touch!
