Workplace Seminars
Menopause doesn't stay home when a woman goes to work, it affects every aspect of a women's life, including her job performance. It shows up in the meeting room, at the desk, in the brain fog at 2pm, in the quiet decision to leave a job she's good at because nobody around her understands what she's going through.
The women navigating menopause in your workplace right now are often your most experienced, most knowledgeable, most valuable employees. They deserve support. And your organization needs to understand why providing it is not just the right thing to do — it's smart business.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Menopausal symptoms are linked to reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, and early exit from the workforce among experienced employees.
Women who seek medical care for menopause symptoms earn 10% less four years later — Stanford University, 2025
72% of women have hidden their menopause symptoms at work at least once — Catalyst Global Survey, 2024
Only 11% of women are aware of any formal HR support for menopause in their workplace — Carrot/OLLY, 2025
Global productivity losses due to menopause symptoms are estimated at $150 billion annually — AARP, 2024
Education changes this. One seminar starts the conversation. A sustained program changes the culture.
WHO I AM
I'm Kara — a CPD-accredited Certified Menopause Coach, Yoga Alliance-registered Yoga Teacher (since 2011), and hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree with an HR concentration. I'm 49, and navigating my own menopause journey, which means I bring lived experience into every room I walk into. I understand workplaces. I understand women's bodies. And I understand what happens when the two collide without support. I offer workplace seminars designed to support women in midlife — and to help the organizations they work for support and retain those employees with an employee education seminar, an HR/Managerial professional 3 part series and optional menopause-informed yoga sessions add ons.
Menopause in the Workplace - "Know, Speak, Thrive" | Employee seminar — 1 hour. An honest, evidence-based, and engaging seminar covering what menopause actually looks like on the job — symptoms, impact, and practical strategies women can use right away. Delivered with warmth, compassion, and honesty.
Supporting Your Team - "Understand, Support, Retain" | Manager, HR, and colleague session — Three 1 hour seminars, done weekly or as an immersion, designed for Managers and HR departments who want to be genuinely supportive and do the best for their most experienced employees but are not sure where to start. Practical, non-clinical, and focussed on creating a workplace culture where women don't have to pretend they're fine when they're not. You'll learn how to support and retain your most experienced employees.
Gentle Movement Workshop (optional add on) - a gentle menopause-informed yoga sessions and chair yoga for stress and symptom relief — 45 to 60 minutes. No mats, no changing, no equipment needed. Just evidence-based movement and breathwork that employees can use immediately — at their desks, in a meeting, or in the middle of a difficult day. Suitable for all fitness levels and all bodies.
Annual Workplace Wellness Programs - Multi-session seminars and yoga class packages available for organizations ready to make menopause support a sustained part of their employee wellness programming rather than a one time event. Custom packages designed around your team's needs and schedule.
