Skincare and wellbeing specialist, Jennifer Young, has launched MPlus (The Menopause Plus) – a brand providing holistic, results-driven skincare products as well as information to help women feel their best during menopause and empower them to approach it in a way that feels right for them.
The luxurious skincare collection is 100% natural and has been formulated to target a wide variety of the unwanted consequences of menopause from skin changes to hot flushes, sleep disruption to anxiety, and low moods. The products are plant-based, superpowered by phytohormones (naturally occurring plant hormones) and essential oils selected for their therapeutic benefits. MPlus is a forum providing practical support and positive advice on everything from advocating for yourself at work to handling the impact of hormonal change on home life and relationships.
In addition to her skincare expertise, Jennifer Young is a highly respected specialist in spa therapist training. She made her name in oncology skincare and spa treatments, creating dedicated treatment protocols that enable therapists to treat cancer patients at all stages following diagnosis. Through her work with cancer patients, Jennifer has a long history of working with women who are going through menopause – both naturally and brought on by cancer treatment. It was this background that galvanized her conviction that women in menopause deserve better when it comes to handling hormonal change.
Now turning her attention to the challenges faced by women in menopause, in addition to her dedicated MPlus skincare collection, she has also created dedicated therapist training in hormone-balancing touch therapies as well as a Diploma in Hormonal Wellness Mentoring and Coaching.
Jennifer says:
“Women going through menopause have survived all that earlier life has thrown our way, giving us the skills to deal with everything that’s coming. We have found ourselves, we lead corporations, we are comfortable in our own skin, we are wise, we are forthright, we build businesses, and we employ people.
It’s insulting to present us as helpless at a time of life that, while not without challenges, is the start of a new phase. We are equipped to deal with menopause, we sometimes just need a little help along the way.
MPlus is about celebrating women and providing tools to embrace a new stage of life with the strength and power that we have been harnessing our whole lives.”
The MPlus range is a 100% plant-based collection superpowered by phytohormones and the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy, available at TheMenopausePlus.com.
About Jennifer Young
Jennifer Young is well known for her pioneering work in making touch treatments available to those being treated for, living with, and recovering from cancer. She has a BSc (Hons) in biology and is an experienced microbiologist, a nutritional therapist, an associate member of the Royal Society of Medicine, a qualified aromatherapist, a beauty therapist, and a product formulator. She has two post-graduate qualifications in health-related fields, has been accepted by the courts as an expert witness for occupational health cases, has taught internationally, and has been active in medical research.
Jennifer began her work in cancer touch treatments when her local NHS hospital asked her to work with them and create specialist skincare and cosmetics for those going through treatment. As a result, she launched her skincare line, Beauty Despite Cancer, in 2013, and has since developed over 300 specialist products to treat the effects of cancer treatment on the body.
Knowing the vital impact of touch therapies on cancer patients, she also sought to break down barriers to entry when it came to treatments, creating protocols that were not just appropriate for the hospital and hospice environment but at spas and beauty salons as well, whilst also being acceptable to insurers as well.
Today Jennifer Young’s protocols are a globally accepted standard of specialist oncology touch therapy training, with therapies offered at 70+ UK spas and many more globally. They are also available in NHS and private hospitals, hospices, and charities.
Jennifer was named Tutor of the Year by the Federation of Holistic Therapists at the 2020 FHT Excellence Awards in recognition of a free accredited infection control course she developed to support professional therapists returning to work after the first lockdown.
Christopher Byrne, President of the FHT, said:
“The FHT Excellence Awards are designed to recognise individuals who are excelling in therapy practice and education and are an inspiration to others. Jennifer’s generosity has allowed literally thousands of therapists to access in-depth, reliable information and expert advice about infection control online, to help them return to providing much-needed treatments to their clients with confidence. I hope she is very proud to have been selected from a pool of high-caliber peers in awards that are recognised across the industry. Many congratulations, Jennifer, and thank you for supporting so many FHT members and other therapists at this difficult time.”
