Whangarei Business Womens' Network - November 2025 Event

This months' korero & kai is a Q & A session with Dr Melissa Gilbert, Specialist in Womens' Hormone Health

Are you being blind-sided by the noise of pre or post, or 'in-the- middle-of-it' menopause?  

Dr Melissa Gilbert, Menopause Consultant, GP, Mind-Body Practitioner has been prescribing body-identical hormones for over 15 years, and believes we step into our potential during menopause.  Her special interest area is women's health and integrative  and mind-body medicine to allow women to uplift and empower themselves.  

Having started her career as a nurse, Melissa attended medical school and retrained as a GP, becoming a Fellow of the Royal NZ College of GP's.  Her integrative approach to medicine was sought after when she worked in general practice as her central tenet focuses on the importance of a mind-body approach to allow healing to begin.  She helps women understand that menopause symptoms can distract from it's purpose; to transition us into our most liberated, empowered and valued phase.  She describes menopause as our Wise Womens' Army Training Camp.  She's passionately devoted to supporting her clients to feel empowered and liberated so they can mobilise and uplift themselves, each other and claim their 'tribe'!  

A proud Mum to her three daughters who all have strong voices, Melissa is passionately committed to her daily personal practice and her love of adventure, travel, nature and writing.  This month, Melissa will answer your questions and provide us with information to help us 'maintain our vessel' as well as: ** Provide info on how you can create your own prescription for life ** Share some of her favourite life hacks ** Give details of where you can access support  ** Offer ways to reframe and embrace this 'time of life' to uplift and empower.

Whether you've been through menopause, you're going through it or if you've got menopause to look forward to, we welcome you this month to share stories to inform and uplift our community of women supporting women, in all our strength and beauty.
