lots of people in different ways , but in my work I tend to focus on doing what I think is right . I ’ m not enormously influenced by others ; I try to focus on looking forwards ,” says Young . “ The people who really influence me are those who are working for the cancer patients we seek to help , the nurses who want to support their patients beyond their medical role , and the women trying to navigate menopause and constantly coming up against brick walls . I see these challenges and my mindset is always on finding a solution .”
Young has been heartened by how loud women ' s voices are becoming , whether it ' s approaching parliament about women ' s rights in the workplace or sharing stories so that other women feel less isolated . But she is mindful of the work yet to be done .
“ Jennifer Young Training is dedicated to training therapists and healthcare practitioners in specialist touch treatments ,” explains Young . “ We have two strands to our training : the first , which we are best known for , is our oncology touch therapies , enabling therapists to treat cancer patients meaningfully , effectively and safely ; the second is our natural , hormone-balancing treatments for women in menopause .”
The second side of her business is in skincare products . Her Beauty Despite Cancer collection provides skincare that ’ s suitable during cancer treatment and that targets the side effects of cancer . Lastly , The Menopause Plus ( MPlus ) is a place where women in menopause can find information , products and support . The MPlus products are 100 % natural and are formulated to target the unwanted consequences of menopause .
“ There are limited options available for women looking to address the unwanted side effects of hormone change , MPlus is where we share evidence-based knowledge about holistic solutions ,” says Young .
