Menopause Advocate

Why A Menopause Advocate

I am a dedicated advocate for menopause awareness and support, with nearly two decades of experience as a GP in the UK.

As a member of the British Menopause Society (BMS), the Primary Care Women’s Health Forum, and the College of Sexual and Reproductive Health (CoSRH), I am committed to addressing the unique health challenges women face.

Over the past 17 years, I’ve specialized as a LARCs fitter and trainer, while also mentoring for Theramex as part of the Menopause Mentoring Programme. I’m honored to serve as a facilitator for the Essentials of Menopause Care course with the College of Sexual and Reproductive Medicine (CoSRH), providing vital training to empower healthcare providers in menopause care.

Since 2023, I have hosted a Menopause Café in Wakefield, open to all women seeking support and guidance. I also offer informative sessions on menopause to our staff members, 98% of whom are female.

Meet Sally

I collaborate with Sally Singleton, a mindfulness expert holding a master’s degree in Mindfulness, to offer engaging and supportive talks tailored to women navigating menopause. Mindfulness can be a valuable tool in menopause management by helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, and emotional fluctuations often experienced during this time.

Practicing mindfulness techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and body awareness can promote relaxation, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall well-beings. It supports emotional resilience, making it easier to navigate the physical and psychological challenges of menopause, ultimately leading to a greater sense of balance and control.

Our Sessions

Our sessions combine evidence-based menopause care with mindfulness techniques. We are passionate about raising awareness of menopause, especially in workplaces. Research shows that:
  • 67% of women report negative effects of menopause on their work.
  • 19% feel a substantial impact on career progression.
  • 8% experience very negative effects.
  • Shockingly, 17% have considered leaving work, and 6% have already done so due to a lack of support.
f your organization, workplace, or community would benefit from a tailored talk on menopause and mindfulness, we would be delighted to collaborate. Let’s work together to foster understanding and support for women’s health and well-being.

Testimonials

"I thought the session was great. I loved Penny’s energy and enthusiasm. I liked how she had a structure but welcomed questions, responded to them, and then linked the answers back to the presentation. It’s great to hear from a GP as they are the main gatekeeper and contact for clients.
"It was interesting to hear Sally's approach to mindfulness, and it was good to have some practices shared with us."
"It felt like a gift for the staff to receive the much-needed menopausal guidance and support for ourselves and our clients. It felt very empowering, and I personally would love to see a follow-up."
"The two ladies were relatable, charismatic, and knowledgeable, which helped to talk about the big subject."
"Isn't she brilliant! That's my feedback for Penny and Sally!"
"I found the training informative and knowledgeable."
