Menopause After Cancer
If your body feels unrecognisable, if you're exhausted and not sleeping, if you keep being told 'this is just menopause' and sent on your way — this is specialist support for menopause after cancer that fills the gap your medical team left behind.
I'm Sonya Lovell. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 47 and spent nearly six years fighting for my quality of life after treatment. The support I needed didn't exist. So I built it. My consultations are for every woman who survived cancer and is now asking: why do I still feel this bad? And include a referral to menopause after cancer, informed and supportive GPs across Australia.

ABOUT SONYA
I'm not a doctor. I'm not a psychologist. What I am is a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 47, experienced treatment-induced menopause, and spent nearly six years finding her way back to herself, largely without support.
I know what it feels like to be sent away with no answers. I know what it feels like to not recognise your own body. And I know how transformative it is when you finally have someone in your corner who understands the landscape, knows the evidence, and genuinely gives a damn.
I've spent 15 years in women's health, co-authored research on menopause depression published in the ANZ Journal of Psychiatry, and presented lived experience testimony at the Australian Senate Inquiry into Perimenopause and Menopause. MACS is the support I wish had existed for me, and for every woman in Australia navigating this without enough help.
I lived this. That's why I do this work.

From the women I've worked with.
“Sonya brought a depth of understanding about hormone replacement therapy after cancer treatment that far exceeded what I received from the three doctors and specialists I had consulted prior. With Sonya in my pocket, I feel energised and confident to continue advocating for my own health.”
— Airlie“An appointment with Sonya gave me the life changing advice needed! I look forward to my upcoming Telehealth appointment with a sympathetic Dr, trained in menopause care after cancer. Thank you Sonya- your empathetic and can-do disposition was just what I needed!!!! ”
