I’m very proud to share that I have completed the Girls Gone Strong Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification and am a Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist.

Some newer members of my community may know me mainly through my counselling work, but health, fitness and movement have also been a significant part of my professional life for many years.

I am a qualified personal trainer and group fitness instructor, with extensive experience in strength and weight training, boxing coaching, strength and conditioning, outdoor bootcamps and group exercise. I am also a qualified yoga teacher.

Over the past few years, my own health adventures - including major surgeries and the recoveries that followed - meant that I stepped back from training others for a time. That experience has also deepened my understanding of what it means to rebuild strength, confidence and trust in your body after significant change. I am still learning on this front with my last major surgery being just 12 months ago.

This new qualification brings together so many areas of my background and experience - biomedical science, public health, research, nutrtion, health and medical education, coaching, counselling, fitness, behaviour change and women’s wellbeing.

The certification has further strengthened my knowledge and skills in supporting women through perimenopause, menopause and beyond, including:
- strength, movement and healthy ageing;
- bone, muscle and pelvic health;
- nutrition and sustainable behaviour change;
- symptom-aware exercise programming;
- confidence, self-advocacy and self-care; and
- creating realistic and meaningful goals for this stage of life.

Menopause can affect far more than physical symptoms. It can influence confidence, energy, identity, relationships, work, health and how a woman sees the next stage of her life.

Women deserve informed, respectful and practical support through this transition, and I’m excited to bring this additional expertise into my Midlife Matters coaching work.

Because you matter too.
Reconnect with yourself. Create what comes next.

You’re not falling apart. You’re in transition.

Sometimes self-care is not adding another thing to your list.

Sometimes it is noticing what feels heavy, unsafe, confusing or draining… and giving yourself permission to step back.

You do not have to keep explaining, over-functioning, people-pleasing or pushing through situations that leave you feeling unsettled or awful.

Boundaries matter.
Boundaries are self-care.

Counselling can help you get clarity about what you need, what feels okay, what does not, and how to set boundaries with more confidence and support.

I’m Angela Brandenburg, a counsellor based in Cleveland. I offer supportive, confidential counselling sessions in person and online.

You are welcome to message me directly to book a session or arrange a brief chat first.

Feeling lost in midlife does not mean you have lost yourself.

You may feel anxious, uncertain or unsettled without being able to explain exactly why.

The life you built may no longer feel quite right. Your body may be changing, your confidence may feel shaken, and decisions that once felt simple may now feel overwhelming.

You might be asking yourself:

Who am I now?
What do I actually want?
Why do I feel so unsure of myself?
How do I move forward when I do not know what comes next?

Perimenopause and menopause can affect your sense of identity, confidence, relationships, work and direction—not just your physical health.

Midlife Matters Coaching gives you space to make sense of what you are feeling, work through the uncertainty and find a clearer, steadier way forward.
