Why do we start our training with Menstrual Health

Menstrual Health, is the missing menopause memo

We are leading the way with an educational movement that shows the simplicity currently missing in the menstrual health space. It just makes sense to start the conversation around menopause at the beginning, with menstrual health, rather than in the middle with perimenopause.

You wouldn't choose to start watching a film in the middle if you really wanted to know what it was about. So why do we do that with menopause?

We are Menstrual Health Evangelists!

At The Menopause School we tell the Story of Menopause from the beginning and teach you to do the same, so you can share it with your communities. There have been decades of missed opportunities to educate people about their menstrual health. Now the time has come to invite people to think differently, and to do so we must share the knowledge in a better way, if we are to make a lasting change.

Historical lack of education on the topics of menstrual & menopause health has left menstruators the world over unprepared for the large-scale shifts that occur along the menstrual health timeline.

You don't know what you don't know

Menopause doesn't just happen. Ovarian aging is a one-way journey from the day periods start, to the day they stop. People who menstruate need to learn the fundamentals inside caring spaces, with information that is safe and sensible. 

We place menstrual health at the core of wellbeing for those born with ovaries and a uterus. Ours is the only training of its kind that maps out the menopause journey from puberty.

Learning the right kind of questions to ask (and what the answers mean) will then allow you as a wellness professional to support you clients directly or signpost them to best resources for them. In addition you can then adapt your treatments accordingly and enhance your existing modality.

We must learn how to create clarity and calm

The menopause narrative is often filled with misinformation and confusion. Menstruators, of all ages, need simple straightforward advice from the people they already know, like and trust. They need client-centered mentors to reach out to, who can guide and teach them with a supportive whole-person approach.

If you learn the language of Menstrual & Menopause Health, and then teach others to do the same, you will be transforming the menstrual health experience for generations to come.
