Testimonials

"I wanted to share my incredibly positive experience attending The Menopause Bootcamp. I was very excited and intrigued to see what it was all about, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was wonderfully warm and welcoming. There were about 10 women gathered, and it was comforting to connect with others who shared the common experience of perimenopause and menopause. We openly discussed our frustrations, what we're learning, and the strategies we're employing to navigate this stage of life. Women urgently need more support for all their struggles, big or small. This bootcamp provides exactly that, and I wholeheartedly give it a 10/10. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing group of women who initiated this boot camp and are bringing this vital resource to our community!"
