SICK OF FANNYING AROUND? WE WERE TOO.

Our aim is simple - to cut the crap on being in the menopause by striving to make treatment accessible and accurate for all.

HI, I’M MELISSA, FOUNDER OF LIVVE.

In my 20 years experience working as a qualified pharmacist in community, hospital and GP settings, I’ve seen first-hand the lack of available support and affordable treatment plans for women suffering with menopausal symptoms.

It’s frustrating. It’s shortening lives. It’s impacting women's health. And it’s not good enough.

After experiencing perimenopause symptoms in my early 40’s, I became passionate about enhancing my knowledge and providing a service that can support as many women as possible.

I completed training with Marion Gluck and became a member of The British Menopause Society and the International Menopause Society. I have completed the Principles and Practice of Menopause Care and am currently completing the Advanced Certificate with the BMS. Inspired by the support of the GenM team and my pharmacist colleagues I decided to take the plunge and set up LIVVE.

If you love our ethos, please invite the women in your life to LIVVE their menopause symptoms.

Love, Melissa
