You've researched everything. Tried most of it. Still don't feel like yourself.
Dr Marylyn Poynter, Dental Surgeon (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland) and UCL-Certified Clinical Hypnotist, offers post-menopausal women evidence-based support that works alongside conventional medicine and fills the gaps it leaves.

You've been the capable one for a very long time
You've read the articles. You've tried the supplements. You've sat up at 3am with a search bar and a head full of contradictory advice, and then you've closed the laptop and carried on, because that's what you do.
Maybe your sleep has gone. Maybe the anxiety is new. Maybe you simply don't feel like yourself, and you're not sure who to tell.
You are not broken, and you are not imagining it. You are in transition, and you deserve support that sees the whole of you.
Four things women tell us they want back
Each one grounded in evidence, and shaped around what post-menopausal women actually ask.
Hot flushes
Understand what is driving them, and learn clinical hypnosis, a Level 1 evidence-endorsed intervention for vasomotor symptoms (The Menopause Society).
Deeper sleep
Practical, evidence-based ways to settle your mind and body for the night, that may help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
Anxiety
Tools from clinical hypnosis and behavioural science that may help ease the new, unexplained anxiety many women notice after menopause.
Calm
A steadier nervous system and a quieter mind, so you can feel more like yourself in the moments that matter.

Why Dr Marylyn is different
Clinical rigour, and someone who has walked this path
I'm Dr Marylyn Poynter, a retired Dental Surgeon (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland) and UCL-Certified Clinical Hypnotist, and, like many of the women I now work with, someone who has navigated my own post-menopause journey. I know first-hand how much conflicting information is out there, and how easy it is to feel dismissed or unheard.
That's why I trained in clinical hypnosis and as a Rapid Transformational Therapist, building on decades in clinical practice and academic teaching, to bring an evidence-based approach to post-menopausal wellness, one that respects conventional medicine and fills the gaps it leaves.
As a wife, mother, and grandmother, I understand that thriving after 50 isn't a luxury. It's essential.

What women are saying
“I'd tried everything for my hot flushes before I found Dr Marylyn. The Discovery Call alone helped me understand what was actually going on — no pressure, just honest answers.”
“What struck me was how much Dr Marylyn respected the medical care I was already getting, while helping with what it didn’t cover. I feel more like myself again.”
“I was sceptical about hypnosis, if I'm honest. Understanding the evidence behind it, and working with someone so qualified, changed my mind.”
