Frequently Asked Questions
-
Perimenopause is the stage of life when hormone levels begin to fluctuate and eventually decline as the body transitions toward menopause. It can begin years before periods stop and can affect far more than the menstrual cycle—including sleep, mood, energy, cognition, metabolism, and overall wellbeing.
Understanding what is happening in your body can make a meaningful difference in how you experience this transition. My work is about helping women understand the changes, feel more confident in their bodies, and have practical, evidence-informed tools to navigate midlife.
-
Not at all. Perimenopause education can be valuable whether you're experiencing significant symptoms, just beginning to notice changes, or simply want to understand what's ahead.
It can also benefit partners, managers, HR professionals, and colleagues. Better understanding creates more informed and supportive environments—for women at home and at work.
-
Workshops are designed to give employees practical, evidence-informed education about perimenopause and menopause, including what is happening hormonally, common physical and emotional changes, sleep, energy, cognition, metabolism, and strategies that can support wellbeing during this stage of life.
Workplace sessions can be tailored to your organization's needs and may also include guidance for managers and leaders on how to create a more supportive, informed workplace.

Women are staying in the workforce through midlife in greater numbers, yet many workplaces still aren't equipped to support them through the changes that can come with perimenopause and menopause.
Providing education isn't simply about supporting individual employees—it can also help organizations reduce absenteeism and costs associated with early retirement when women in senior positions retire early.
There is a tangible cost to businesses that aren’t addressing perimenopause support and there is a significant opportunity to save money while improving engagement, productivity, retention, and employee wellbeing.
When women have the knowledge and support they need to navigate this stage of life, everyone benefits. -
That’s completely understandable. Some topics related to perimenopause and menopause can feel personal, especially in a workplace setting.
My workshops are designed to make these conversations feel comfortable, professional, and approachable—not awkward or overly personal. I create an inclusive environment where participants can learn about the changes that can happen during this stage of life without anyone being expected to share personal experiences.
The goal isn't to make anyone uncomfortable. It's to replace uncertainty and stigma with knowledge, understanding, and practical tools that can help women feel supported and continue to thrive at work.
-
Absolutely. Perimenopause doesn't need to be treated as a taboo or overly personal topic to be meaningful.
My approach is educational, evidence-informed, and workplace appropriate. I focus on the science of what is happening, how it can affect women at work, and practical strategies that support wellbeing, productivity, engagement, and confidence.
I also keep the tone warm and approachable, so the conversation feels human without crossing professional boundaries and no one will ever be expected to share personal experiences.
-
Because women don't stop being women when they walk into work—and perimenopause can affect how they feel, sleep, think, focus, and function throughout the workday.
Creating space for education doesn't mean asking employees to discuss their private lives. It means giving people accurate information and practical tools so they can better understand what may be happening and know where to turn for support.
For organizations, that can translate into a more informed, supportive workplace where women can continue to do their best work through midlife.
-
Yes. Workshops and lunch & learns can be adapted to your organization's audience, goals, and workplace culture. Sessions can be designed specifically for employees, managers and leaders, or a combination of both.
If you're not sure what format would work best for your organization, we can talk through your goals and find an approach that makes sense.
