Dr Nikki Delglyn Ostm - Women’S Health, Wellness & Menopause Coach

Dr Ostm and Women’s Health, Wellness & Menopause Coach

As a Women’s Health, Wellness & Menopause Coach I run menopause workshops focusing on movement, nutrition and lifestyle advice to help every woman transition smoothly through from peri-menopause into the post menopause phase of their lives in an educated way.

As a Level 4 PT and Pilates instructor, I specialised in lower back pain, I am GP Referral qualified and have taken further specialist courses in strength training and menopause specific exercise prescription - which I use myself in my own workouts. From my own experience, movement is something I do everyday and enjoy, as a result I run movement workshops and classes for women combining different exercise techniques including pelvic floor, bone, heart and brain friendly functional HiiT training, resistance training and Pilates. The classes are geared towards those going through peri-menopause through to post menopause as we need to focus on movement, stability, mental stimulation leading ultimately to independence in old age. I have used pilates as part of my back pain Clinic which i've run for almost 10 years and have written a Back to Fitness programme that has had great success within the community. I work with patients that are pre and post surgery aswellas those with postural non-specific low back pain.

I've diversified slightly in Clinic now, to become more female-centric and love working with women with low back pain, pelvic dysfunction and scar-tissue release for abdominal surgeries such as hysterectomy, C-section or appendectomy. I also run workshops on how to prepare and recover quickly from abdominal surgery such as hysterectomy, c-section or appendectomy. My approach has been very successful, even in the elderly and those diagnosed with cervical and endometrial cancer. This interest came about when my mother at the age of 72 was diagnosed with cervical and endometrial cancer, I worked with her and her oncology team and 8 weeks post surgery from a laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy, she was back to the exercise class she loves with her Consultants blessing and is still going strong. The same format has proven successful for a range of patients i've seen in Clinic too.

I combine my workshops and Clinical work with nutritional advice and exercise prescription to make a truly holistic rehabilitation and educational programme for women to enjoy and take forward into their 3rd Age! I'm very passionate about what I do and working with women, seeing their confidence grow and their vitality return is wonderful, and I do believe that they are worth it!
