From an early age Wellbeing speaker Sheila Wenborne had a yearn to travel and see the world. Just after leaving school she tried hard to secure jobs on luxury cruise lines and airline, always to be told she was too young and to try again later once she had some experience, so she auditioned for Pontins as a Blue Coat and joined their holiday camp near Bournemouth on the South Coast.
This was only a taste of things to come after she and her boyfriend Joe (now husband) started work in the Caribbean for a chain of hotels. This was a time when Sheila and Jo were able to travel the world together but in 1990 they decided to return home and start a touring theatre company doing children’s pantomime. Joe did the scripts and music whilst Sheila designed the costumes and scenery.
During this time the company was very successful and a few years later Sheila and Joe married and moved to Essex.
Sheila was approaching her 50’s when she decided to visit her GP to ask why she had been feeling so unwell. Her GP then confirmed, Sheila had entered the menopause.
HRT was prescribed but there were still concerns at that time of side effects and links to breast cancer so she decided to look at other options. She did a lot of research on a holistic approach which then led her to consider the natural power of magnets, which was relatively unknown at the time.
Some years earlier Sheila’s arthritic dog “Bob” had been helped by a magnetic collar. Could magnets help her too? To Sheila’s great relief the answer was “yes” and within days of wearing a small magnet attached to her clothing Sheila felt markedly better.
Elated with the results of using magnets, Sheila set off on a mission to spread the word about her experiences in the hope that other women might follow her example and find comfort too. A good friend who worked in PR agreed to help and Sheila’s story was picked up by the national newspapers. Within hours of the first publication, the phone began to ring and Sheila was inundated with women suffering with the Menopause and wanting her help.
This prompted Sheila to start her own Magnet Therapy and Well-Being company, Aura3.
A recurring request from women all over the world was for advice on how to achieve youthful and healthy looking skin. Sheila had been blessed with a healthy complexion but she was aware of the stresses skin endures during the menopause and set about researching if there was a face cream she would be happy to recommend that would help. This led to Sheila developing her own brand and in 2015 proudly launched “Sheila’s Natural Products” an expanding range of high quality creams and balms that answered not only the menopause issue but were ideal for all skin types.
The success of “Sheila’s Natural Products” accelerated the growing number of women who considered her not only a “menopause expert,” but also a friend who had experienced the same life changing symptoms that they had. They emailed in their thousands wanting to know more on how she coped with her Menopause and came out on top.
The result inspired her to write, “So… That’s why I’m bonkers!” A girl’s guide to surviving the Menopause.
While many women curse the menopause for being responsible for bringing their lives and in many cases careers to a complete halt, Sheila has honed in on the positive and used the “change” to start a whole new chapter in her life.
Today Sheila is a highly respected businesswoman, author and speaker who enjoys meeting the public whenever her busy schedule allows.
