Menopause Experts Group Avis 296

In July 2021 we hosted a Menopause Awareness month as part of our 2021 Health and Wellbeing Calendar of Communications and Events. We found 'Menopause Experts' online and asked Dee and the team to host a live webinar for our employees on the topic of Menopause. Our company operates within a heavily male dominated industry so our intention was to pitch this to the men so they can learn about the menopause to better understand what the women in their lives may be going through. Dee delivered the webinar fantastically! It was so thorough, educational, taboo-eliminating and was delivered in a language that all could understand. Dee also spoke about the fantastic free training the Menopause Experts have on available (particularly the male-menopause training) which we will be sharing amongst our workforce. Thank you Menopause Experts!

I recently undertook the menopause experts course for men, I did so as a manger who has had to deal with the aftermath of poor responses from my male staff to their partners, which I was seeking good clear advice and guidance to help them cope. The course helped me understand what's going on and how to guide my colleagues. I have now encouraged them to also attend. I felt the course content was very detailed (almost overwhelming) and was very much a reference source, which I could return to when required in the future. This is a clearly subject that many people suffer without exploring what's going on, simple things like talking together about it are hugely helped by having the better understanding this course provides. For me the course went beyond the core menopause issue and became an interesting lifestyle guide - with some interesting recipes I intend to try out. Although I would suggest patients is required with ploughing through the content (perhaps don't try to digest it all at once) but I would recommend this course on many levels; if you are dealing with issues related to the menopause or have a friend or colleague that is, or simply looking for great lifestyle tips - try this out.

What a wonderful magazine, packed full of interesting articles. Menopause Experts really are on a mission to help women through what can be a most challenging time of our lives. They're all encompassing and not only want to reach women going through menopause but also their families and their workplace. They want better education for GP's.
Read the magazine, follow them on Facebook, join the FREE training (link in the magazine), it's a wonderful, safe place and full of amazing women, supporting women.

This has to be the most informative magazine on menopause I have read. Worth the read and learnt so much

Discovering a safe place to source professional information on menopause all with Menopause Experts is helping me understand my premature menopause journey. The fact the information is there for ALL women is absolutely amazing.
The new magazine is just packed full of articles and fabulous information for a healthy lifestyle I can't wait for the next issue

This group is a true gem, like a group of expert friends for any question or fear you have about menopause or perimenopause. Just go ahead and be open about whatever bothers you, these lovely people an help you and they will be more than happy to do so. And spread the word if you are pleased with them, that's the best reference

I recently joined the Menopause Experts Academy and I am so happy with how much it has helped me already! Not only does it provide all the information you need to understand what's happening to your body (which definitely makes things seem a little bit less scary!), but it also offers lots of remedies and options that help you to ease your symptoms by yourself. You really are able to take full control of your mind and body - it's so empowering! Aside from this, they also have a community aspect which gets you interacting with others going through the same thing as you. Honestly couldn't recommend more. It is a truly wonderful programme and I haven't came across anything else like it on the internet (and believe me... I'd spent a long time looking!) Join, join, join!

Menopause Academy! What an invaluable source of amazing information. So easy to navigate and understand and it cuts out the jargon. Information from industry experts right at my fingertips whenever and wherever I want and need it. Love this programme and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone on their menopause journey.

I attended one of your retreats last year, which I found was so helpful and enlightening while on my menopause journey.
I have found the Online Academy invaluable too, as I have been able to go back and reread and remind myself about all we discussed on the retreat day.
I thought it was very user friendly as well, which is always a bonus.
Well done Menopause Experts 😊

What a fabulous idea to create the Menopause Academy Online.
I am not usually one for using online tools as I prefer face to face, however during this period of lockdown I have been able to use this to understand what is happening to my body. I know now that I am not going mad 😠
Thank you for allowing me to join thie Academy x

Absolutely fantastic source of knowledge for me. I think this is an essential tool for anyone wanting to understand the menopause. It's an all round approach which, sadly, if you visit the GP you don't get. The things we eat affects us and they way we think affects us. It will certainly help me deal with the problems I have been experiencing with menopause. THANK YOU!!

The Menopause Academy is such a fantastic online product! Everything that you need in one place with really first class, professional content, highly recommended - everyone should have menopause education, whether male or female!

I'm peri-menopause and have been for a number of years. The menopause academy is an excellent online package for us peri menopause and menopause ladies. It is easy to use and full of so much information about our symptoms and ways to help alleviate them, down to helping with going to see the GP. I'm so impressed. Thank you I will be recommending and using.

Hi I would like to thank you for putting together the Menopause Academy, it has been a godsend, I'm not one for doing on line stuff but with the lockdown etc it as been a necessity, so friendly and easy to navigate, I would happily recommend xxx

I thought I may have been a little too young to attend this retreat, or that I may have been a little out of my comfort zone. Nothing could have been further than the truth on that.
I may be a health professional myself however, I got so much from this 1 day event; firstly- the knowledge that I am not going insane (all of a sudden), that the first diagnosis discussed with my GP was anxiety/stress/MH related. I even tried SSRI's which unfortunately made me feel so much worse. And yet in a room full of women I'd never met I felt included, understood and not mad at all (well occasionally as we all do). I feel the benefits more so as time progresses and am treating myself with a little more kindness and tbh, looking forward to trying a little of that HRT (nb I am way under the age bracket for normal menopause so that's acceptable- and if it wasn't for the retreat I wouldn't have known that and may have felt I was failing slightly by requesting medication!).
Great discussions and presentations from humourus like minded ladies.

Priceless practical information delivered in a nurturing environment with empathy and humour. Everything you need to know.These experts explain what's happening to your body and mind and how to make changes to cope. There is no additional sales agenda once you are there, they don't suddenly pounce with their own products. This is the best £99 I have ever spent, wish I had found them earlier, it would have saved me a fortune on books, supplements and diets. Just book it now ladies you deserve to know what the Doctors don't have time to explain.

I attended the menopause retreat at Middlethorpe Hall Hotel in York - what a lovely, well hosted, worthwhile day if you are currently in the clutches of, and are at the mercy of the menopause fairy! To be fair, I've been on my journey for four and a half years already and have gained a lot of knowledge one way or another, but the day proved that there is still so much you can do to help yourself, your mental health wellness, your inner self peace and your nutrition. It's all about looking after you at this stage of your life. There were four sections, each covered by an expert in their field - Yoga (nothing energetic) simply to help be in tune with yourself, an inspiring talk from the nurse who would answer any medical questions you might have, a very informative presentation from an expert nutritionist and an enlightening section on mindfulness. Did I forget to mention the amazing lunch and refreshments laid on, all ingredients intentionally targeted for the menopause? At a time in our lives when we can very easily feel unimportant, down, unattractive and perpetually tired, I came away from this day feeling empowered and hopeful, that this is the next chapter in your life, that your contribution to your family and your relationships is as important as all that has already gone before. If you’re feeling stuck, I would recommend you investing your time and money on yourself and spending a day at one of these retreats ... PS I still forgot my pin number when I tried to pay for fuel on the way home, brain fog, but hey ho, Rome wasn't built in a day!

I attended the Menopause Day last weekend in Cheltenham and I thought this event was absolutely amazing. I learnt so much and came away feeling well informed and inspired. Essentially not alone but surrounded by women also on their menopausal journey.
The Yoga to start the day with Katy Hand, was wonderful. I have done yoga before but I am not very good, so it was enjoyable not being under pressure to do elaborate poses and to have mediation and breathe work featuring throughout.
Sarah Hill the Nurse was fun and well informed and gave the medical information we needed and various treatments and tips. The nutritionist Sue Thomas really gave us food for thought, I am yet to check the website but I know I definitely have to make some changes to how I eat moving forward. Caterina Baskerville the Pyschotherapist was also really good down to earth and I know that I need to think about myself, my self confidence and how this impacts on my relationships personally and at work etc. It was lovely to be able to talk opening in the small group we had about our concerns. Not forgetting out host Ellen Harding who ensure we were greeted, looked after, fed, watered with the most scrummy healthy clean food.
I think women should be signposted to this via their GP, Nurse Friends etc. Menopause can make you feel isolated but getting the information and support from our peers is so important. If you are wondering whether to go, do book a place. It is really worthwhile and I am saying this as a woman, sister, daughter, Midwife and friend.

Really informative day at the Breadsall Priory. I particularly enjoyed to yoga. The nutritional session was delivered so well and I got lots from it which I could take home and try. The speaker was really well informed and passionate about diet and the menopause. All in all a great day. The hosts made us all very welcome.
Thank you.

I won this menopause retreat but feel the wording was a bit misleading. It didn’t feel much like a retreat. Although the speakers and everyone involved were very knowledgable and welcoming, the venue was not suitable for this type of event. To be fair, the weather didn’t help as it was the filthiest of days and it didn’t get off to a good start as the yoga session was cancelled as the teacher injured herself en route. The room was cold and draughty and the chairs very uncomfortable for sitting on for long periods of time. The Dome may be good for summer workshops but not for winter. It needed to feel warmer and cosier with more subtle lighting. The lunch and snacks were nice and the other participants were lovely girls with whom we shared our experiences and I think this was the best bit of the whole day - exchange of knowledge. Unless the venue is changed I wouldn’t recommend doing the day in Worthing.
