Stress

We all experience stress in our lives and often manage to find ways to navigate through to the other side.

However, it can sometimes become overwhelming and completely take over life, even leading to physical or mental illness. For women, stress can come from a variety of places.

Whether its dealing with pregnancy, childcare, hormonal changes ahead of menopause or other life challenges, learning how to cope and manage is an important part of mental and physical wellbeing.
