Meet your specialist

Menopause Consultant / GP / Mind-Body Practitioner

Welcome to the best part!

Don’t let the symptoms of menopause lead you to believe that it is all downhill from here. It’s not! There is a light shining brightly at the end of the menopause tunnel. It is a portal, not a dead end, and I am dedicated to supporting you through it.

My goal is your liberation, and this is achieved through a whole-person approach. Understanding your priorities is essential for success, and I accomplish this through attentive listening, effective medical management, and the application of mind-body principles. I look forward to meeting you soon.

 

 

 

Melissa

Areas of Expertise

Dr Melissa understands that menopause is not all about physical symptoms, and while addressing them is crucial, so is exploring what else may be contributing to the experience.

The symptoms of menopause are loud and overwhelming for many women. Quietening or managing the volume of them is essential to enable wellbeing and progress. Dr Melissa facilitates this through medical and hormonal support, movement, nutrition, and personal practice.

Your body is telling the story and asking you to read it; menopause is no different. Taking the time to understand how menopause is affecting your body is key to identifying what needs your attention.

A new phase begins with reviewing and then refining your life's purpose. Unlocking your wildest dreams and realising they are now possible is one of the best-kept secrets of menopause.

Realising that sexuality and intimacy don't fade but deepen during and beyond menopause is a liberating experience. It looks different for every woman, but it can be key to our full power.

Heartfelt stories

“I found Melissa...who shone a light of hope with her expertise, care, and curiosity about my individual symptoms, who reassured me I was not alone, this is not hopeless, and there is a way out.” 
Bonnie Hurunui
"Melissa gave me the clarity I needed about HRT in the context of my complex health picture and gently supported me to go deeper."
Stacey Davidson
"As a woman in my 60s, I had all but given up on feeling feminine or enjoying intimacy again. Dr Melissa Gilbert changed that. She truly listened, understood what I was going through, and offered real solutions—not just a quick fix or patch-up."
Alexa Bell
