Menopause isn’t just a personal issue — it’s a workplace issue.
Making menopause support a strength of your business culture should be a top priority. When midlife women feel seen and supported, performance rises, loyalty deepens, and great people stay.
Helping them achieve that belongs front and centre in any business—and it’s a key part of your duty of care as an employer. But menopause support isn’t just personal; it’s a business imperative.
Every day, millions of women navigate menopause symptoms while trying to do their jobs.
The result? Lost productivity, absenteeism, and presenteeism that costs the global economy more than $150 billion annually. When healthcare costs are included, that figure could climb above $810 billion (Frost & Sullivan).
In the UK, the impact is equally stark. A late 2023 SimplyHealth survey of over 2,000 working women aged 40–60 found that:
* 23% had considered resigning because of menopause symptoms
* 14% were actively planning to hand in their notice
And for those who don’t leave? The costs still stack up. Sick days, unpaid leave, and missed opportunities create an enormous financial toll. Research from the Mayo Clinic puts women’s annual losses at $1.8 billion (£1.43 billion) in the US alone.
This isn’t just a health issue. It’s a retention issue. It’s a productivity issue. It’s a leadership issue.
That’s why we help forward-thinking organisations support their midlife employees with evidence-based, engaging menopause education. Whether you’re looking to raise awareness, support retention, or build a more inclusive workplace culture, we’ll help you create solutions that work for both your business and your people.

About your coaches Juli & James
We’re Juli Madacey and James Ellis and we're on a mission to help women 40+ navigate menopaause with clarity, confidence, and a personalised plan that actually works — no guesswork, no gimmicks, and no more going it alone.
Together, we’ve supported hundreds of women through the menopause transition, combining deep clinical knowledge with real-life coaching experience. While only one of us has lived it hormonally (that’s Juli), we’ve both faced serious health wake-up calls — and we know how disorienting it feels when your body suddenly doesn’t respond the way it used to.
Our approach is evidence-based and rooted in what actually works — not fads, quick fixes or unrealistic plans. We look at the whole picture: how you think, eat, move and live — and help you make sustainable changes that work with your life, not against it.
Juli is a Certified Holistic Health Coach, Master Health Coach (PN2), Girls Gone Strong Menopause Coaching Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer and Master Herbalist. Her passion for helping women was shaped by her own health journey, after losing her mum to cancer at 19 and later rebuilding her own wellbeing through nutrition and coaching.
James holds a Master’s in Nutrition Science, is a Registered Nutrition Therapist, Master Health Coach (PN2), Girls Gone Strong Menopause Coaching Specialist and Certified Personal Trainer. A member of the British Menopause Society, he specialises in supporting women through perimenopause and beyond with practical, no-nonsense advice that gets results.
You don’t have to figure this out alone — and with the right support, you won’t have to.
