My consultation with Dr Awal was like a breath of fresh air and would highly recommend. I felt heard and understood instantly at a time where I was so low, lost and felt alone with my symptoms.
Dr Anwal gave me hope and inspiration sharing her own experiences. Her knowledge and guidance was incredibly helpful and insightful. I was prescribed HRT and suggested supplements which has made me feel me again, I am truly grateful 🙏💕

I was advised of Dr Nadira Awal by a fellow menopause warrior via Facebook menopause group. I decided to take the plunge and book a consultation with her as I have been struggling with this journey for 2 years.

Had a lovely informative and calming chat with her over my challenges. She explained an awful lot to me, made me understand what I'm up against. She was extremely knowledgeable in her field of expertise. Her recommendations were just what I needed and hopefully my GP will take on board her recommendations and I will start to feel a lot better.

Speaking to someone who actually listens to you and your needs was very welcoming. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help and guidance.

Thank you Nadira.

I couldn’t recommend Dr Nadira Awal enough! After over a year of back and forth from my GP with peri menopause symptoms and being sent away with anti depressants I finally decided to go and find someone else who could help me. I did my research and decided on Pause & Co Healthcare. During the hour long consultation we went through the list of symptoms I’d being having in detail, she helped me to understand my symptoms and recommended ways for me to deal with them. She explained all of the options available to me going forward and I finally feel like I’ve been listened to, my symptoms have been looked at holistically and I feel like a weight has been lifted.

Highly recommend Dr Nadira . I was in the darkest of places with a range of confusing symptoms and challenges that a number of GPs had dismissed as stress-related.

I came across Dr Nadira on Instagram. I google her straight away. I went through all her post on Instagram, I was happy with her post & the way she answered questions. I went ahead and booked video consultation. Dr Nadir made me feel comfortable instantly and I felt heard and understood. She was very easy to talk to. When the appointment was over I felt like she was going to be able to help me. Dr Nadira is a Passionate and knowledgeable doctor who is
clearly very committed to helping woman through
peri/menopause stage of their life's.
highly recommend all woman with even the slightest peri/Meno symptoms to book an appointment with Dr Nadira. She is a wealth of knowledge.She sent a very comprehensive report to both my Dr and myself. So glad I found her.
