She took the decision to start HRT and has never looked back. Now she would like to help other woman suffering with often debilitating symptoms caused by hormonal deficiency and provide them with medical based, up to date information to give them the confidence to be proactively involved in the decision making process surrounding the management of their own menopausal symptoms.

She has gathered together some of Ayrshire’s most respected healthcare professionals all of whom are as passionate about women’s health as Maggie is and has formed Scotland’s first dedicated menopause clinic. Opening soon, Menopause Health Matters in Miller Road, Ayr, will provide women with the opportunity to discuss at length their individual symptoms and concerns with a GP who specialises in all things menopause. Maggie also wants to provide all women, whether they use the facilities at the clinic or not, with free advice and information on the clinic website so they can approach their menopause journey with confidence and with the information needed to make informed decisions surrounding their own individualised menopause care.

The clinic will also be looking at holistic  approaches to menopause care with advice on nutrition, exercise and wellness.

When not talking about menopause Maggie loves to keep fit in the gym, walk on the beach with her wee dog Buddy and annoy her husband and daughter with her constant singing.
