My body was telling me I needed a change.

Written by Jenny O’Connell, Co-Founder of SISTERLY.

I was a barrister for 20 years and took on a major career pivot as a result of feeling sick of being sick! I’d had a busy but stressful career, an obsession with endurance sports and a love of margaritas (I never know when to go to bed) but modern life takes its toll. I got sick a lot - chest infections, strep throats and constant bugs - and I managed my health with antibiotics and steroids.

I finally sat up and paid attention when three rounds of covid and a dose of shingles floored me.  I felt so weak and just wanted something to make my body work again. I had completed an Ironman and swam across Lake Geneva but I wasn’t managing my own health properly -  I really wanted to figure out a better way to support my body.

I think as women we are always juggling - kids, aging parents, careers, our hormonal cycle and the pressure to look the part. It’s a lot. Two of my closest friends (now my fellow Co-Founders, Aoife Matthews  and Louise O’Riordan) and I were on a Zoom call one day moaning about how difficult it was to navigate supplements and to differentiate the good from the bad so we decided to solve a problem for ourselves. We pulled together a crack team of experts to do the research and develop a female specific formulation that would be effective and show results.  The result is The Elevator, the best of everything in a simple powder sachet. 

We made The Elevator for our mothers, sisters, girlfriends and ourselves so only the best would do. When you’re doing something for your nearest and dearest, you just don’t compromise or take short cuts.

Of course I miss my GP, he was a lovely man, but we just don’t need to see each other so much anymore! 

Aoife, Louise and I took a jump; a leap of faith, because we knew together, we could make something better that really works for women.

Made of More - My Story

Written by Viv Barclay - http://www.mumentous.com/ 

I woke up one morning in 2015 feeling like I’d been given horse tranquillisers. This was nothing new. Menopause had turned me into feeling like a zombie most mornings since the year before. I made it to the sofa and flopped down in front of BBC Breakfast. I don’t think I’d even made myself a cuppa!
