Menopause Care

Dr Åhlund is passionate about women’s health and in particular the management of menopause. She will be able to advise you not only on how to best manage your changing hormones but also take into account any other medical problems or future health concerns that you may have.  

She attends regular multidisciplinary meetings with fellow menopause specialists who practice at the Healthshare Clinic in Norwich. This will help assure you that you will always receive the most up to date advice and care during your menopausal journey.      

Education and Experience

Dr Åhlund has been undertaking training through the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RCOG) and the British Menopause Society (BMS) as well as a specialist-mentoring program with a local Menopause Specialist through the Primary Care Women’s Health Forum (PCWHF). She is a member of the British Menopause Society and PCWHF.  

Lifestyle and Interests

Dr Åhlund lives with her two daughters and husband on a smallholding just outside of Norwich. She enjoys travelling especially to see her wider family in Sweden, yoga, Pilates, wild swimming and good healthy food. She is looking forward to completing a qualification in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) for the management of menopause later this year.    

*Dr Ahlund does not currently fit progesterone-releasing intra-uterine system coils or perform endometrial biopsies; should these be needed we can easily cross-refer to Norfolk Menopause gynaecologists Tim Duncan or Paul Simpson

Very positive, I felt like I’d been heard. Advice given was very helpful and informative. My treatment plan has greatly improved my symptoms. It is easy to make contact for any follow up questions. So very pleased I made an appointment and I have recommended it to 2 other friends who have in turn been themselves.

Dr Ahlund was so helpful, understanding, knowledgeable and generally wants to help. I was very nervous for my appointment but she put me at ease, she took so much time to understand my complex medical history and current symptoms. I came out of my appointment feeling relieved that I have a plan going forward and reassurance that I’m not going to be dealing with this alone.

My appointment with Dr Ahlund exceeded expectations. Thought I had a good understanding already about HRT/menopause having been on it for some years, but still came out with much more information that I already knew. She was extremely helpful. Listened to all of my concerns and gave me lots of options along with reassurances on any worries I had. Very informative and helpful.

Dr Ahlund allowed me to bombard her with everything in my head, however random or trivial, or unrelated to the menopause. It was self indulgent, but hugely therapeutic & I am so grateful for the freedom to speak and the lack of judgement. I am particularly impressed by the insightful follow up letter that arrived within a matter of days. Reading it demonstrated to me that Dr Ahlund extrapolated the key factors in my muddled monologue. She highlighted and clarified the areas that are most problematic for me and gave some clear guidance on how to support me.
