What makes us different?
We place menstrual health at the core of our framework
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 to support your clients directly or signpost them to the best resources for them.
We make it easy for you to become menstrual health informed & menopause aware
This is your opportunity to stand out in holistic wellness, support clients in a deeply meaningful way, and build a thriving practice specialising in menopause. Biology-led content, focussed on ensuring every graduate is enabled to create confident conversations with clarity and calm.
We are building a dynamic community of holistic wellness leaders
We show you how the science of menopause can be integrated across all kinds of treatments with a whole-person approach, and allow you the space to grow in that understanding by remaining connected to us via our online community for as long as you wish.
Our Mission
Decades of misinformation have created a global legacy of misunderstandings that continue to undermine health outcomes. We are building a worldwide network of professionals equipped with the expertise to support menstrual and menopause health. Every menstruator deserves the education and guidance to navigate each stage of the menstrual health timeline with confidence.
I am building a menstrual health-friendly future, for everyone.

I have been a Holistic Therapist and Biology Teacher for over 30 years. At no point was I taught the fundamentals of menstrual health across life stages—knowledge I now recognise as crucial for anyone who menstruates. This understanding is key to making informed decisions that support a healthy, vibrant life. The Menopause School is making these tools accessible to all through a simple, straightforward approach: training more professionals who can easily teach others this essential, easy-to-follow learning.

Praise from our students
“The way Fiona has taken us back to the beginning of puberty and then told the story forward from there put everything into context, it was amazing”
I lacked any real knowledge of menopause before attending the course and the course was able to explain things in a way that was easy to digest and understand. It made me feel empowered as a healthcare professional and also as a woman. I felt in a better position and confident to support my patients as a result of the training.
I found the training so valuable. Whilst I felt pretty confident having conversations with people experiencing menopause, I learned much more than I expected and it’s been particularly useful having access to the platform to look back at to consolidate my learning
