Sometimes the hardest part of navigating this era is knowing how to find the right health professionals, and what to do when you get there.

Women+ signifies all people born with ovaries and all people who support people born with ovaries.

For The Workplace

Up to 73% of people going through peri & menopause don’t know about peri & menopause, and 1 in 10 women will leave the workforce as a result.

For the feedback

  • “I can’t even begin to list all the things I have learnt. Loved the hormone chat and the side effects to look out for … not just the “hot flushes”. I would 100 percent recommend it, everyone needs to hear this stuff. Jess is so unbelievably knowledgeable on everything about peri. There wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer. You unfortunate medical history has really benefited womankind entering peri”

  • “Your session was one of the highlights of our 2 days. Every single person in the team loved it. It was exactly what I asked for and more. Your flexible approach, your warmth and the acceptance of us all created a lovely space for us to feel comfortable and get the most out of it”.

  • Such an informative session, I learnt a HEAP! Jess has such a natural and comfortable presenting style and is genuine is her approach. She knows this stuff like the back of her hand and can quickly refer to studies etc which gives you comfort that the information is valid and backed by science. I enjoyed the light humour throughout the session too.

  • It was fantastic. Jess is an exceptional facilitator and sparked so many helpful anecdotes and comments from my peers. It was a huge group online but I really felt intimate and like we were all brought together.
