Hello lovely ladies! I'm Meg founder of Kookoo. Oh boy, my journey to get to this point has been a long one but after getting my degree in Communications I went on to study to become a professional chef. I loved being in the kitchen but realised very early on that I wasn't where I was meant to be. At the time my partner introduced me to a scary place called "the gym" lol.  And honestly, I was hooked.  But, in 2015 I went for my first back surgery. After my recovery it occurred to me just how important my health and fitness was and so I went on to pursue my specialised nutritionist and personal training certifications, Crossfit L3,  200hr Yoga Teacher qualification, and Menopause Wellness Practitioner certification. 

​

Since then I have worked with many women going through all stages of life. As I've gotten older I noticed I mainly started working with women over the age of 40 and have helped many women navigate this mid-life shit show. Having had countless DMCs with loads of

over-sharing (as we do) and hearing all the in's and out's on what it's really like to go through this transition I found that these women were trying everything under the sun to alleviate their specific symptoms but nothing seemed to be cutting it. So I took it upon myself to do something about it. I took a quote from one of my clients "Am I going cuckoo?" and so Kookoo was born. 

​

I didn't want to create a product or brand that was an all-in-one symptom solver or made you feel  like you were being wrapped up in a ball of cotton wool with an extra layer of bubble wrap and told to...brace yourselves... meditate, drink more water, eat more protein, increase your fibre, move more, eat less, eat more?, have the carbs?, don't have carbs?, "get a good night's sleep" lol, do breathe work, do cardio?, don't do cardio?, strength train 3x week, do pilates, yoga and the list goes on! I am ALL about finding a nutrition protocol , building healthy habits and finding a fitness routine that works for you but let's be realistic here it's hard enough trying to remember what f*cking day it is let alone trying to do all these other things all at once. I wanted to create an honest, relatable brand that cuts through the bullshit, creates products that genuinely work and a community that supports the f*ck out of you.

 

Menopause is an absolute mind field. Every women's journey is individual. We are all strong, badass women who have made it this far in life and are more then capable of taking on this transition with both hands you just need a little pick-me-up from time to time to help you feel your best while getting shit done.
