Menopause Support for Women 40-plus

Menopause isn’t just a personal issue — it’s a workplace issue.

Making menopause support a visible strength of your workplace culture isn’t optional — it’s smart leadership. When midlife women feel seen and supported, performance improves, loyalty deepens, and experienced talent stays.

Supporting them belongs front and centre in any modern organisation. It’s part of your duty of care as an employer — but it’s also a clear business imperative.

Every day, millions of women manage menopause symptoms while continuing to deliver in demanding roles. The impact is significant: lost productivity, absenteeism and presenteeism cost the global economy more than $150 billion annually. When healthcare costs are included, that figure may exceed $810 billion (Frost & Sullivan).

In the UK, the picture is equally concerning. 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

Even when women stay, the hidden costs accumulate. Sick leave, reduced hours, stalled progression and missed opportunities carry a financial toll. Research from the Mayo Clinic estimates annual productivity losses of $1.8 billion (£1.43 billion) in the US alone.

This is not simply a health issue. It is a retention issue. A productivity issue. A leadership issue.

That’s why we work with forward-thinking organisations to deliver evidence-based, engaging menopause education and midlife support. Whether your goal is awareness, retention, cultural change or leadership resilience, we help you create practical solutions that work — for your people and your business.

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.
