Menopause is not something to simply survive. With the right information, the right support and the right community, this stage of your life can become a powerful opportunity to reconnect with your health, your wellbeing and your future. The Menopause Workshop is a full-day experience designed to give you exactly that.
Who Is This For?
This workshop is for women aged 35+ who are navigating perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause, or who are curiousand want clearer answers, better tools and the company of women walking the same path.
You'll feel at home here if you are:
Wondering whether what you're feeling is hormonal and not sure who to ask
Feeling dismissed, brushed off or rushed in healthcare appointments
Trying to make sense of conflicting advice about HRT, supplements, diet and exercise
A professional, business owner, mother or carer juggling a lot and looking after everyone but yourself
Wanting to take charge of your healthy ageing, not just manage symptoms
Ready to stop Googling at 2am and start having a real plan
What’s Included:
Full-day workshop (9.00am to 3.30pm) with Dr Sonia and Jenny
Your Menopause Workbook to keep and use long after the day
Morning tea, continuous tea and coffee, and lunch
Your personalised Menopause LifeScript plan
Optional next-step pathways including group coaching, 1:1 coaching and our 8-week Menopause Mastery Program at workshop-attendee rates
What You’ll Experience:
This is not a lecture. It is a thoughtfully designed day that blends evidence-based medical education with practical coaching, self-reflection and meaningful conversation. Across the day we cover:
Module 1: Understanding your body
Perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause explained without the jargon. Hormonal changes, common symptoms, current evidence on treatment options including MHT (menopause hormone therapy), and the myths worth letting go of.
Module 2: Healthy ageing and symptom management
Nutrition, movement, sleep and stress — the four pillars that genuinely move the dial. Practical, doable, designed for real life.
Module 3: Emotional wellbeing and conversations that matter
Mood, anxiety, self-compassion and the conversations many of us avoid: with our partner, our GP, our manager and ourselves.
Module 4: Your Menopause LifeScript
Our signature coaching framework. By the end of the day you'll leave with a clear, personalised plan for the next stage of your wellbeing — not a wishlist, an actual map.

What Happens After the Workshop?

No. This is education and coaching. Dr Sonia is presenting and answering general questions, not providing individual medical advice. For your own clinical situation, please see your treating GP. The workshop is designed to help you have better, more informed conversations with your healthcare team.

Never. You're invited to participate in conversations and reflections at the level that feels right for you. Listening is just as welcome as sharing.
