Dr Zoë Cruse

Bio

Zoë has worked with Dr Linda Dear for a number of years and has a considerable knowledge in the Menopause and mid life women's health field. She has been advocated for women since she wrote a letter to her local supermarket at age 8 because of “sexist biscuits” (yep). Zoë qualified from Cardiff University in 2010 and has undergone extensive postgraduate training in urgent care medicine, women's health & gynaecology, menopause and cognitive behavioural therapy. Zoe is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP). The Menopause Society (formerly NAMS) is regarded as the leading global authority on Menopause. Zoë firmly believes in practicing what she preaches and has a solid background in both endurance based exercise (Ironman NZ, marathon running, 5km ocean swim competitions) and also works closely with physiotherapists and Personal Trainers to lift weights correctly for those all important bone and strength gains, recently even entering her first Power Lifting Competition. Zoë is also a qualified yoga teacher (RYS Yoga Alliance Certified Rishikesh) and has taught in multiple countries over the last 15 years and understands the importance of balancing a hectic lifestyle with meditation, kindness and gentle movement. Holisitc and lifestyle approaches to optimising women's health is her absolute passion. Zoë lives in the beautiful Bay of Plenty with her two loves - her gorgeous partner and her hilarious cat.
