About Us
We are here to inspire others to think differently and together change perceptions of menstrual health.
We imagine a world where a person who menstruates can wake up each day feeling confident in their physiology, curious to learn more, and know there is a safe and supportive space to ask for help wherever they are on the menstrual health timeline.
We believe the best way to do this is to create a global collective of Menstrual & Menopause Confident Leaders, who will enable and empower others with the relevant and meaningful knowledge needed to make an informed choice on hormone health. To make a lasting change we need to view Menstrual Health with a lifetime lens, joining the dots between periods, perimenopause and beyond.
Welcome to a Menopause Evolution.
Our Values
Be honest – keep to the facts and make them relevant and meaningful to the audience we are speaking with.
Be respectful – not everyone has the same opinions as us on how the facts should be taught.
Be passionate – changing hearts and minds is not easy, but when your purpose is to create a legacy, anything is possible.
Be curious – look at things from a different angel and question everything, even us!
Be open – our goal is to listen to, learn from, and engage with all identity groups and perspectives inside and outside our company.
What We Do
We teach skills of talking and listening around the topic of menstrual health to as many people as possible, with a shared belief in the benefits of others having personal hormone health knowledge, to optimise lived experiences.
We foster this passion in our growing, vibrant community of learners from around the world.
Here’s How We Do It
We deliver a series of online courses, with a mixture of prerecorded and live teaching.
All the material is focused on human biology, menstrual health, and menopause. We have an innovative approach with a straightforward framework, that is fast and effective.
Our outside-of-class virtual meetups are an opportunity to uplift one another, and share passions and positivity.

Creator & Founder of The Menopause School.
Fiona is a Menopause Doula & Menstrual Health Evangelist, preaching the gospel of the 5th Vital Sign!
Fiona’s background as Biologist, Holistic Therapist, Lecturer, and Social Media Marketer provides an eclectic mix of skills, that were the backdrop to the creation of The Menopause School.
Driven by a passion to change the face of menstrual and menopause health education, after a hazardous attempt to navigate menopause transition, Fiona believes that this is possible by creating as many information touch points with menstruators as possible.
Learning about menstrual health should be easy, but mostly, it’s not. The more people we have in the world who can be there to guide, nurture and support others, the better.
