#103 Dr Linda Dear, Menodoctor - A NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner | Women on Fire®

Description

Show Notes:

Dr Linda Dear has the perfect training behind her to work with women navigating the waters of perimenopause/menopause.

Indeed, her background brings a wealth of knowledge of both holistic wellness and academic/medical training to the table.

Not only is Dr Linda a NAMS (North American Menopause Society) Certified Menopause Practitioner, she's also a medical doctor with a fitness background.

In her younger years she was a competitive British gymnast who won bronze at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and from there she went on to become a personal fitness trainer and Ashtanga yoga teacher.

In addition, she completed a psychology degree and post-graduate training in the ACT model of psychotherapy.

And as if that's not enough, Dr Linda graduated from London Medical School and added a post-graduate diploma in obstetrics and gynaecology.

So to say she's well-qualified to help women take a multi-pronged approach to manage menopause is something of an understatement.
