Maud Meates-Dennis

Dr Maud Meates-Dennis is a medical doctor, lifelong learner, and unapologetic lover of life.

After decades in high-pressure paediatric roles giving children the best possible start in life, Maud found herself facing what so many women over 50 experience in silence — exhaustion, a quiet loss of self, and the unsettling feeling that her best years might be behind her.

They weren't. And yours aren't either.

Through her own journey — including profound grief, midlife physical changes, and years of immersion in the science of healthy aging — Maud developed the STOP Method: a practical, science-informed framework to help women reconnect with their bodies, minds, and purpose.

Now in her late 60s, Maud wakes up with energy, radiates curiosity, and finds an excuse to dance whenever she can — usually in her living room. She approaches each day with joy and possibility, and writes for women who are ready to do the same.

Her work draws on the latest research in longevity, self-compassion, nervous system science, and lifestyle medicine — translated into the kind of warm, practical guidance that actually fits a real woman's life.
