We are Your Menopause Nurse

Your Menopause Nurse was founded by Pearly Clark Brown & Melanie Dunwell in 2024 and is comprised of a small team of  specialist nurses with British Menopause Society training. As well as offering personal menopause consultations, we deliver workplace menopause support and training packages. As Independent Prescribers, we are able to prescribe HRT and vaginal oestrogen treatments.  We are committed to providing personalised, compassionate support and treatment to those who are navigating the menopause. Each of our experienced menopause nurses brings a wealth of personal and professional knowledge, expertise, and special interest in addressing the most complex symptoms of the menopause. We use BMS advice and NICE clinical guidance to ensure that you receive the most up to date evidence based information in relation to the safe use of HRT alongside other holistic care measures at this life stage.
We are proud to be approved and regulated by the Care Quality Commission

Pearly Clark Brown from Your Menopause Nurse Limited

Pearl Clark Brown (Pearly)

Pearly has practised as a nurse mainly within women's healthcare specialities and menopause for almost three decades. Originally from Scotland, where she initially qualified as a registered nurse, she has developed and nurtured her passion for women's health, and became a qualified Independent Prescriber in 2016. She is a long term member of the British Menopause Society ( BMS ) and has completed expert, certified menopause training with them. 

Pearly has a special interest around the complex and sensitive subject of vaginal changes during the menopause and how this can have an impact on your wellbeing, your relationship and your ability to manage normal day to day activities.  She is passionate about the subject and has spoken on podcasts, at live events and written extensively about this. She has had peer reviewed clinical articles published several times including ideal treatment combinations for the management of GSM and was published in the Practice Nursing Journal ( Feb 2024 ) 

When she is not writing, thinking about writing or helping women manage their symptoms better, Pearly's a keen dog walker, enjoys her fitness classes ( despite her knees/hips/back telling her otherwise  ) and loves travelling and seeing what the world has to offer.  Usually plugged into a Spotify playlist when she's not huddled over a laptop, she can be found searching out sounds from her college years as she's always been an avid music fan and is continually looking out for new music,bands and live events.

Her passion and interest in women's health, the menopause, symptoms and treatment options including HRT, vaginal oestrogen and non hormonal treatments has helped her guide many women through the menopause, based on their health, lifestyle and personal preferences.

Melanie Dunwell (Mell)

Mell began her nursing career at the University of York in 1997 and has spent more than twenty five years working in primary care, with a strong and enduring focus on women’s health. Her clinical background includes extensive experience in contraception, coil and implant fitting, and the wider landscape of reproductive and hormonal health. She qualified as an Independent Prescriber at the University of Teesside in 2006, allowing her to offer a broader and more responsive scope of care.

As a member of the British Menopause Society, Mell has completed their advanced certified menopause training and continues to build her expertise through regular updates and ongoing professional development. She brings a warm, compassionate and deeply human approach to every consultation, creating a space where women feel understood, supported and genuinely heard.

Mell has a particular interest in migraine and cognitive symptoms during the menopause transition and has spoken at several live events to raise awareness of their impact. She offers clear, evidence based guidance and is skilled in exploring a wide range of management and treatment options tailored to each client’s needs.

Away from clinic life, Mell is a proud mum of two grown up children and a very proud grandmother to five. When she is not supporting women through menopause, you will often find her walking her beloved French bulldog Bert across the North Yorkshire Moors or quietly casting a line on a riverbank, indulging her love of fly fishing.

With her depth of experience, clinical knowledge and compassionate care, Mell continues to support women through their unique menopause journeys, offering up to date, evidence based advice and a truly person centred approach.

What our clients say:

"Pearly has a unique ability to build rapport with anyone. She is empathetic, understanding and arguably, most importantly, undeniably knowledgeable. She takes the time to understand your needs and will support you through them however suits you best." YE, Basingstoke.

Why women choose us:

"What an absolutely amazing service! I felt so stuck before and was recommended this service by a friend. I was able to access an quick appointment and Mell listened and assessed my needs and gave me expert support and advice. I feel so much more informed now and clear about my options. Thank you." LP, Whitby.

Vitamin D written on a post-it note
