Mariella’s groundbreaking 2018 BBC1 documentary The Truth about Menopause was one of the first documentaries on menopause, breaking the taboo with an honest recounting of her own menopause experience.
Channeling her passion for women’s rights and empowerment, Mariella authored the book Cracking the Menopause: While Keeping Yourself Together, which separates myths from reality and offers expertise, hope, and advice.
