Menopause Awareness and Strategies for Fitness and Wellness Professionals (9 CPD Points)

In this course you will understand the physical, energetic, mental, biochemical and emotional symptoms caused by menopause and how these changes affect women’s ability, comfort in, inclination towards, and reaction to exercise.

Most women are unaware of how early their body starts to change, and your knowledge after this course could be the difference for her between a terrifying rollercoaster and a more embodied, empowered, informed and moderate mid-life transition.

Among many other things this course will:

Empower you to know what you can and can’t help with through your work.

Enable you to be able to help women to understand some of what is going on in their bodies, and thereby empower them to know better when they can handle their struggles, what struggles are normal and can be lived with, what can be slowly eased through your work and other resources, and what struggles require more medical help.
Help you get to grips with the physiological changes that influence the impact and support of your work (when accordingly adjusted).
Give you greater understanding of where what you offer may need to be tweaked for the changing needs of the body and nervous system in the 2-14 years of the transition to menopause, and in the years to follow.
Teach you to recognise where in her hormonal phase a woman is, possibly even before she recognises it.
Teach you the biochemistry, symptoms and health risk changes of the perimenopause transition and the years beyond menopause offering you tools to support some of the health risk changes.
Inform you of researched medical, complimentary and supportive options are available to women.
Educate you as to what reasons, other than average reproductive ageing, will cause a loss of the reproductive hormones.
