About Course
Menstruation and menopause are terms discussed widely, but rarely in context to the individual as a whole. What are the full term health implications of menstruation to menopause, and beyond?
On this eLearning course from the Menopause School, you will explore what it means to view menstrual health as the 5th vital sign and how healthy ageing is directly related to healthy menopausing. The course will also demonstrate the leading evidence-based information for supporting menopause transition.
What topics will you cover?
- Module 1 provides foundation knowledge on hormone basics, menstruation and the hormone collective. We introduce the concept of a Hormone Highway as the framework from which we will then explore both hormonal ageing and reproductive ageing in relevant and meaningful terms to the modern menopause.
- Module 2 looks at menopause in-depth, including what it is (and is not) as well as highlighting commonly held myths and misdirection around menopause.
- Module 3 discusses the different approaches to managing menopause transition. It explores how HRT can be delivered and the types of difficulties if can help. We also present the benefits of a whole person approach to the menopause experience.
- Module 4 focuses on the bigger picture, the menopause tool-kit and the positive role a Menopause Doula can have on menopause well-being and long term disability-free living.
- Module 5 bonus material in the form of mini-masterclasses. Frank discussions between Fiona Catchpowle and Dr Jo, on a wide range of topics including vaginal health, bone health, sex & relationships.

Student Ratings & Reviews
I really enjoyed working through the menopause Doula course. As a menopausal woman myself it has been fascinating to learn all this information that is so relevant to me at this stage of my life. I had attended a menopause workshop a couple of years ago which changed my mind about HRT and alleviated any concerns that I then had.
The course has given me so much more information and allows me to understand the journey that I am on in so much more detail. I have really enjoyed sharing the information that I’ve learnt with my friends and family. Many of my friends are of the same age and are experiencing the menopause to one degree or another and have found it really fascinating to hear about all that I am learning. I think one of the main points that women comment on when I am discussing information from the course with them is that most women have no idea that oestrogen affects the whole of their body. This really is a bit of a revelation when it comes to understanding menopause symptoms and allows women to make sense of why they are so diverse.
The information on the course has been clear and concise and the online booklet is a great tool for easy referral . The quiz’s were a good way to check your knowledge . I liked that they were at then end of each section to ensure that the knowledge was retained.
I’m really looking Forward to continuing to share my knowledge. I’m working with Nikki Hughes at ‘Mind Body Strong’ specialising in training women in fitness throughout menopause and so this course to me has been wonderful.
Thank you so much to all at the menopause school. Kind regards. Lisa x
I was asked to become better acquainted with Menopause Symptoms to support my colleagues within Acacium Group, little did I know that it would hugely help me on my personal meno journey. It was kind of bizarre as I was learning how oestrogen massively affected the body, my body responded and things started to hurt and ache less. This course is for anyone who wants a good understanding of the journey Puberty to Post Menopause and everything in between, well written and easy to follow. Some great videos with Fiona and Dr Jo and superb support from Fiona and Sally giving you great content and a thorough understanding of all the topics. I definitely feel more confident to be able to talk about the subject of menopause in the workplace and the journey ahead is exciting and I am very much looking forward to it.
This is the course I have been searching many years for. I found it very easy to follow (although still challenging enough) with the videos and slides and liked that I could just rewind if I was unsure about anything. There was help available if needed which was extremely handy. I can\'t wait to get out there and promote the menopause and also The Menopause School. Thank you so much to Dr Jo, Fiona and Sally for helping me along the way and I look forward to working with you on this new and exciting journey to infinity and beyond!
