About Chris Van Gaver
Menopause consultant
As a 58-year-old woman, mother of 3 grown sons and proud nonna, I understand the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle after menopause. My fascination with the different stages of women's lives shaped my career as a midwife. Therefore, given my professional experience and age, earning a postgraduate degree in Menopause Counseling seemed like a logical next step. As a menopause counselor, I strive to break the taboo and minimize the symptoms and health risks of this phase. Misconceptions, lack of knowledge and unclear information often lead to frustration and misunderstanding, something I would like to address.
