I'm Jo Fiddy Your Perimenopause Mentor.
You’re doing everything in perimenopause. So why don’t you feel better? The HRT. The protein. The weighted vest. The supplements. The LED mask. More cottage cheese than you’ve ever eaten in your life.
You know how to look after your body.
But what about the beliefs and stress responses running underneath it?
The missing piece of the conversation.
Perimenopause changes more than your hormones. Fluctuating oestrogen affects the brain systems involved in stress, mood, cognition and reward. At the same time, your HPA axis, part of the system that coordinates your stress response, is navigating that hormonal change alongside the psychological stress of everyday life.
And here’s the part of the conversation I think we’re missing:
Your beliefs can activate that stress response too from I’m getting old to I’ve let myself go, through to I should be coping and my best years are behind me These aren’t simply thoughts to “think positive” your way out of. They’re learned patterns, stored in the body that can influence how your brain and body respond to what feels threatening.
Perimenopause may not have created the belief. It may simply have turned up the volume.
I call this your Belief Soundtrack® and when that soundtrack starts playing out of tune, it can become much harder to find your rhythm.
"There’s something truly special about how Jo helps you unlock strengths you didn’t realize you had—or were too hesitant to embrace. Her encouragement always feels personal and sincere, empowering me to keep moving toward my goals. She is absolutely invested in you, and that alone is such a gift.
The dedication she has in working with women in peri-and menopause and her mission to remind us that mid-life is just the beginning of something great is really incredible. It’s everything."

When did you learn to pause?
The Invisible Pause
For around 200 years, menopause has been defined and studied through a predominantly male medical lens. We have all grown up absorbing messages about female ageing, fertility, bodies, beauty and value. Some of those messages become beliefs. Some become stress. Then there are some that become so deeply embedded we don’t even realise they’re influencing the choices we make.
I call this The Invisible Pause. The point where, often subconsciously without realising it, women begin quietly resigning from parts of their own lives.
I don’t believe perimenopause is where women should disappear. It’s where we need to understand what’s playing underneath.
My Clients arrive feeling stuck in the Invisible Pause and come away feeling empowered and ready to press play and say yes.
i get you. i've been there. I can help.

“Jo used Tapping and her knowledge of Perimenopause is priceless. Finally I feel heard and seen by someone and she is amazing in her work! She is the mentor I was waiting for my whole life and I can highly recommend her to anyone."
Tapping is where you take your finger off the pause button and press play.
EFT and Rapid Tapping™ combines focused attention with tapping on acupressure points and is the tool I use to work with emotional stress and the beliefs underneath it.
Alongside menopause coaching and nervous-system regulation, it helps us work with what is happening in the body and in the belief system, rather than simply adding another thing to your perimenopause to-do list.
A 2026 clinical trial published in Menopause found EFT significantly improved menopausal symptoms.
