Empowered Menopause: Course + Workshop Experience
Welcome to Empowered Menopause!
This experience is open to women at all stages of the menopause transition—from early perimenopause through to the post-menopausal years—offering space to learn, ask questions, connect with other women, and feel supported as you navigate this powerful life transition.
Empowered Menopause builds on the foundation of my original two part miniseries Menopause: Let’s Talk About It—offering a richer, more comprehensive experience designed to better support you through this transition. The self-paced online course allows for a deeper exploration of the material at your own pace, in your own time—then we’ll gather for the workshop to answer questions and allow you to connect with others going through this transition.
____________
The Empowered Menopause workshops are offered as group medical visits for BC residents and are covered by MSP and Medavie. Each workshop is paired with a self-paced online course, allowing you to begin your journey with clear information and gentle reflection before we meet live.
At the time of registration, you’ll purchase access to the relevant module from the Empowered Menopause online course for $35. This will give you immediate access to the full self-study material, so you can move through the teachings in your own time and arrive at the live session feeling grounded, informed, and connected to the process.
The live workshop is a 90-minute Zoom gathering where we deepen and integrate the material together.
- Part One: Hormone Basics Workshop is held in a Q&A-style format, creating space to ask questions, clarify concerns, and explore hormone therapy in a supportive, medically-informed environment.
- Part Two: Navigating Menopause Together – Sleep, Sex & Self-Care is more interactive, weaving small and large group conversations to foster shared learning, reflection, and an embodied sense of community.
Together, the self-paced course and live workshop offer both education and connection—supporting you not just to understand menopause, but to feel held and accompanied as you move through it.
