Elizabeth Court
Co-founder & Marketing and Brand Manager, elénzia
The mother-daughter founders of a wellness brand aim to empower women to embrace menopause and ageing by alleviating symptoms such as hot flushes and brain fog.
While Elizabeth Court is too young to have gone through menopause herself, she recognises how debilitating its symptoms can be. “My mum went through menopause, although it was only later I realised how much she struggled,” she says.
Effective menopause care approach
“Society doesn’t talk about menopause enough.” It’s why Court and her mother want to empower women with the tools and confidence to embrace menopause and ageing. It’s why Court and her mother co-founded skincare and wellness brand, elénzia – to empower women with the tools and confidence to embrace menopause and aging.
Among other products, the company produces supplements (with collagen, vitamins and clinically proven botanicals) formulated to support women through menopause. “We wanted to address the gap in effective wellness products,” explains Court. “We knew that evidence-backed, targeted ingredients — proven to work through clinical trials — were out there. We wanted to use these to create products with science, efficacy and wellness at their heart.”
Many women experience multiple

mood changes and ageing skin concerns.
Menopause symptom relief
Many women experience multiple menopause symptoms daily, such as lack of sleep, hot flushes, brain fog, mood changes and ageing skin concerns. “So, we knew we needed to create a supplement in two parts,” she says. “One part to address symptoms during the day; another part to address symptoms throughout the night and promote restful sleep.”
Her advice to anyone struggling through menopause is to visit their GP. “Family members have been prescribed hormone replacement therapy (HRT), so I know it can provide fantastic results,” she says. “I also know people using HRT who still experience menopause symptoms. Plus, I know women who don’t necessarily want to use HRT. These are the people we want to help with symptom relief.”
Importance of a supportive self-care routine
While supplements can be beneficial, Court stresses the importance of a self-care routine for effective menopause symptom management. She recommends practices such as mindfulness and leading a balanced lifestyle. “Women have busy lives,” she says. “Having an element of small, consistent self-care habits within your day — even just taking time for a relaxing evening bath — is really important for your overall health and wellness.”
