FAQs
We’ve got answers.
How do you define a Menopause Doula?
A Menopause Doula is someone who has the knowledge and experience to guide nurture and support others along the menstrual health timeline from menstruation to menopause. I preferred the idea of this role for myself, over coach or mentor. The idea stuck and it turns out lots of others agreed too. Read more here
Are there pre-requisites to training to become a Menopause Doula?
Yes + No. In order to join this course you do not need any prior qualifications in the wellness industry - but it helps if you do have some holistic health experience. Please book a call here or send an email if you have any questions or concerns.
How is the full program structured?
The course content is divided into three elements.
Foundation Level
The essential functional biology needed to understand and explain the menstrual health timeline to others - including the role of the ovaries in total physiology and how they connect with all eleven operating systems in the body, impacting health and wellbeing from head to toe.
Level 1
A comprehensive look at the core elements of ovarian physiology, in relevant and meaningful terms to menstrual cycle health across life stages, and practical tools such as The Rhythm Within to expand your approach through practical, doula-ready biology.
Level 2
Learn how to use our integrative tool called Menopause Talking Therapy™ so you can confidently work closely with clients to guide, nurture and support them along with the menstrual health timeline, from periods to perimenopause and beyond.
What are the assessments?
There are x 2 quiz style assessments, and one practical Case Study and report using our criteria.
Full guidance and mentoring is provided to ensure you are considered 'safe, sensible and supportive' to conduct conversations with clients, and reach the appropriate level of competence.
How long does the course take to complete?
The theory can be covered in ~ 14 self-study hours. The practical element of finding your voice and demonstrating your new skills via the case study can take a few days to navigate. Attendance of the live sessions is advisable. Many students find this interaction highly valuable in completing the accreditation is a timely manner.
Is the course certified?
On successful completion and receipt of a pass mark on the x2 quizzes and Case Studies, plus a final interview, you will receive an award from The Menopause School as an accredited Menopause Doula (TMS). As The Menopause School is an accredited training provider for the IPHM, your qualification is recognised globally as continued professional development (not a new modality). It will allow you to be insured as an educator/facilitator to practise within the guidelines and scope of practise we have set.
What client templates do you include?
