Meet Your Menopause Nurses
Firstly, we're so glad you've found us!
Here at Your Menopause Nurse, we are a small team of British Menopause Society ( BMS ) trained nurses who can independently prescribe HRT. We are dedicated to providing personalised, compassionate support and treatment to women who are navigating the menopause. Each of our experienced menopause nurses brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and special interest in addressing the most complex symptoms of the menopause. We use BMS advice and NICE clincial guidance to ensure that you receive the most up to date information in relation to the safe use of HRT and holistic care measures at this time. We are CQC approved.
Pearl Clark Brown
( Pearly )
Pearly has practised as a nurse within women's healthcare specialities and menopause for almost three decades. Originally from Scotland, where she initially qualified as a registered nurse, she has developed and nurtured her passion for women's health, and became a qualified Independent Prescriber in 2016. She is a member of the International Menopause Society as well as the British Menopause Society ( BMS ) and completed advanced, certified menopause training with them.
Pearly has a special interest around the complex and sensitive subject of vaginal changes during the menopause and how this can have an impact on your wellbeing, your relationship and your ability to manage normal day to day activities. She is passionate about the subject and has spoken at many live events and written extensively about this. Her latest peer reviewed clinical article on ideal treatment combinations for this particular symptom was published earlier this year in the Practice Nursing Journal ( Feb 2024 )
When she is not writing, thinking about writing or helping women manage their symptoms better, Pearly's a keen dog walker, enjoys her circuit classes ( despite her knees telling her otherwise ) and loves travelling and seeing what the world has to offer.
Her passion and interest in women's health, the menopause, symptoms and treatment options including HRT and non hormonal treatments, has helped her guide many women through the menopause, based on their health, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
Melanie Dunwell (Mell)
Mell began nursing in 1997 and has worked predominantly in primary care with a special interest in women's health & contraception. Mell is an experienced Independent Prescriber and completed her advanced menopause training with the British Menopause Society, before becoming a member of the International Menopause Society.
Mell brings a warm and compassionate understanding approach to all of her consultations. She ensures that women feel supported and listened to throughout their menopause journey.
She has a special interest in migraine and skin changes around the time of the menopause and has appeared and presented at several live events to discuss the impact these particular symptoms can have on women during the menopause. Mell is able to talk through a range of different management and treatment options with clients.
Mell has two grown up children and five grandchildren ( so far ) and when she is not offering menopause consultations, Mell can be found walking her French bulldog Bert on the North Yorkshire Moors every day or else earnestly waiting on a riverbank somewhere doing what she loves - fly fishing.
With her experience, knowledge and care, she continues to help women navigate their own unique menopause journey, ensuring each that client receives the most up to date and evidence based advice and treatment options.
