Talking About Menopause

Welcome to

Menopause in the workplace

Putting menopause awareness on the agenda at your organisation can support a culture of inclusion, diversity and equality.

Menopause workplace training

I offer a range of menopause training options for organisations. These are the most popular but I’m always happy to discuss personalising sessions to fit the needs of specific organisations.

Menopause outside work

Menopause can have a huge effect on our working life. But unfortunately, dealing with the symptoms doesn’t stop when we leave the office.

Who Am I?

I’m Fiona. I’m a menopause adviser for organisations and individuals.
I’m also a qualified Personal Fitness Trainer & Certified Nutrition Advisor and I specialise in midlife. Helping women from peri to post menopause.
I deliver training sessions and workshops to help organisations to understand menopause, how it can impact women at work and what they can do to support this vital workplace demographic through the process.
I also work 121 with women to provide advice and guidance on their personal menopause journey.

How did I end up here?

Back in 2011 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thankfully I recovered well but it did mean that when I began to experience menopause symptoms, HRT was not available to me.

Given my background in fitness and nutrition, I started to look into alternative ways to support the body through menopause. And I was hooked!
Menopause will affect over 50 percent of the population. But, until quite recently, it was rarely spoken about. I did my research and training about all elements of the process – lifestyle, food, nutrition, HRT and menopause in the workplace.

I started to work more and more with women in this phase of life and loved being able to help them feel better about themselves.

What ladies have to say

Having previously heard Fiona speak knowledgably about the menopause, I was delighted when she agreed to speak at our quarterly HR Forum. Several clients joined the meeting and Fiona provided us all with an overview of what to expect during the perimenopause years so that we could learn what those in the workplace might be experiencing. Fiona also gave us practical advice regarding how managers can support their team members during this period of their working lives.

Afterwards we received excellent feedback and the session resulting in Fiona being invited to a client’s workplace to educate and support their managers and individuals. I have since referred Fiona to other clients and again their feedback has been very positive.

Helen Colechin, Managing Director The HR Dept. South London

We invited Fiona to speak on the topic of Menopause at our staff conference day. She delivered three highly informative and relatable awareness talks with utmost professionalism. Her presentation was ‘to the point’ and tailored to the needs of her audience. Colleagues were truly impressed by her calm and friendly persona and her expert subject knowledge. Following the talks, Fiona made herself available to answer any questions and offer advice to anyone that needed it. Thank you Fiona for your part in what was a very successful day!

I just like to say a big thank you to Fiona Coppard. She has helped me loads in the last few weeks with personal training sessions and helping me learn about my ever changing body and hormones. I can’t recommended her sessions highly enough. Can’t wait for my next session!!

Mary Pocock

I went to see Fiona as I was struggling with symptoms of the menopause. Fiona has helped me understand the changes happening in my body giving me the confidence and knowledge to go and see my GP and ask to be put on HRT. In our weekly sessions Fiona has advised me how to make lifestyle changes in nutrition and exercise to keep me fit and healthy. Fiona is very approachable, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She really cares about her clients. I thoroughly recommend her services - go and see her - she will make a difference! Thanks so much Fi.

I can help with the juggling

Women are excellent at juggling. We do it from an early age and often through parenting small children while working and taking on the lion’s share of the household chores. But in midlife, there are so many more balls!!!

Many will say that teenage kids are more difficult than toddlers, plus we’re often higher up the career so potentially more pressure there and we may be taking on caring responsibilities for parents too.
All while trying to manage a huge physical, emotional and psychological change.

My aim is to help women to navigate this change – in all areas of their lives. And to assist organisations in understanding this life stage and help their employees to feel supported and included while they work through it.
