Hi, I’m Jenna
-
For twenty years, I was a beauty editor — the one reading all the studies, testing products, interviewing scientists, surgeons and skin experts. I knew a lot about what happened on the outside. I was also a wellness editor, spearheading a breast cancer special for eight years and co-authoring In The Pink, a guide to breast health with naturopath Lani Lopez. I went deep.
Then perimenopause arrived. Dizzy spells, sleeplessness, weight that wouldn’t budge, skin that felt like someone else’s. Nobody warned me, could give me a map.
So I made one.
I retrained. I studied women’s health through a functional medicine lens, trained at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, learned EFT, mindfulness, positive psychology. Then I found Dr Wendy Sweet — a researcher with a PhD in women’s healthy ageing — and studied under her to become a certified menopause and weight loss coach.
But here’s what I learned that no certification teaches you: this season is tricky. Not always in an overt way — more in a quiet, confusing, why doesn’t anyone talk about this way? Your body changes, and you can sometimes start to feel invisible in the world.
I’m not going to tell you it’s your prime. I’m going to help you understand what’s actually happening – and what you can do about it.
That’s the study of you.
Twenty years of beauty knowledge. Coaching credentials backed by serious science. And I’m living this alongside you — itchy skin, pudgy bits, and all. This combination is what I bring to every woman I work with.

What changes when you begin paying attention?
You begin to understand what your body is doing — and why. Your mood stabilises. Your skin gets the care it genuinely needs at this stage, not what worked at 35. You sleep better. You make choices that suit you, not a generic plan designed for someone else entirely. Your jeans begin to fit again.
You don’t find your old self. You find out who you are now — and it turns out she’s worth knowing.
That’s what Youology & Co is here for.
