At The Menopause School, we’re transforming the way people learn, think, and talk about menstrual health and menopause. Our mission is to equip holistic health and wellness professionals:

with practical, biology-based training

so they can confidently support clients who menstruate

from periods to perimenopause, and beyond

Menstrual health is a vital, systemic rhythm that shapes physical and emotional well-being.

That’s why our functional menstrual health and menopause awareness training dives deep into infradian rhythms, hormonal physiology, and real-world application.

Our aim:

To make sure every:

client conversation is informed
every wellness plan is cycle-aware, and
every practitioner has the tools to lead with clarity and compassion.

Menopause The Truth

The MAC, Birmingham

Why we exist ...

Fiona noticed something missing in the wellness world:

Essential human biology

Informed decision-making

Menstrual health literacy

Too many people of all ages who menstruate were navigating symptoms, and confusion, without support. And too many wellness professionals wanted to help, but didn’t have the right education or framework to work from.

So, The Menopause School was born

You don't know what you don't know

And you can't manage what you don't understand

Fiona realised that people lacked the knowledge and awareness needed to make informed decisions about their hormone health. Basic biology, essential for these decisions, wasn’t being taught in mainstream education, and this lack of understanding was impacting long-term health. The solution was clear:

educate those who can support others in a biology-focused way.

This led to:

The idea of creating a global network of Menstrual Health Informed Practitioners & Menopause Doulas. All trained with a whole person approach, and enabled to guide, nurture, and support others through all stages of the menstrual health timeline, from periods to perimenopause and beyond.

Our Mission

Decades of incomplete information has left a legacy of misunderstandings that are affecting health outcomes on a global scale. We will create a worldwide collective of menstrual and menopause health informed professionals so every menstruator has the knowledge and support to take their next best step as they travel along the menstrual health timeline.
