Fay Reid
Founder of 9 to 5 Menopause
Fay lives and works in London and has always had an interest in holistic health, her experience of the menopause has made her explore that more. She wants women to know there is help out there and to not be afraid of this stage in their life.
My qualifications
Fay left school at 16 and went straight into work and has built up a career as an Executive Assistant and Project Manager, supporting C Suite Executives and High Net Worth individuals. She has worked across various industries including Media, Advertising, Retail, FinTech, Production and Government Agencies.
Fay founded 9 to 5 menopause on social media, when she herself started the menopause and realised how many women were holding down a job, trying to manage their symptoms and yet no one was talking about it.
My approach
Fays aim is to dispel the myth of the menopause, being the thing that should only being whispered - she wants women to accept what is happening to their bodies and to realise it is not all doom and gloom. With knowledge and awareness women can manage their symptoms and not feel overwhelmed.
Fay also brings awareness into the workforce, so companies and colleagues are aware of what staff are going through. We support pregnancies in work, the menopause should also be supported.
My favourite Zooki
My favourite Zooki is Vitamin D, as I feel my brain is more alert and I have more energy when I take it and my skin glows...I get the most compliments of how young I look and being over 50, it is nice to hear!
