“It's been great working with you - the work you do is beyond valuable and making such a change - long may that continue!
You have really supported my development to be a menopause 'ambassador' within the Cabinet Office. I have learned a lot from you; your supportive, inclusive and friendly approach has been such a benefit to us both as co-Chairs of the Menopause Network.”
Jacqui Fincham & Stephanie McCahill
“Sarah delivered another fantastic session today, raising awareness of the menopause in our organisation and helping individuals at the same time. I loved her ‘thrive not survive’ ethos for people going through menopause and I was particularly impressed with how she manages to make it so relevant for our organisation. Hearing stories about Firearms officers and talking about the impact of shift work really made it feel like she understood the challenges that are so real for us.”
Katie Hancock, Incident Assessment Unit Manager
''Sarah provided an insightful overview of the menopause. As part of a set of wellbeing webinars, and the first on this subject, we wish we scheduled additional time to cover the topic in more detail. The session was interactive, and Sarah’s engaging style and limitless subject knowledge resulted in the session receiving excellent feedback.”
Julie Keeble, Head of HR, Honda of the UK Manufacturing Ltd
“Sarah delivered fantastic managers’ and women’s awareness sessions that were informative, thought provoking and engaging. Feedback from attendees was very positive, with both female and male managers attending the manager’s session and using the session to increase their knowledge of menopause and confidence of how to support members of their teams who may be suffering with menopausal symptoms. I fully expect Sarah’s session to have a lasting and positive impact for our staff and look forward to rolling out further menopause initiatives, especially as around 40% of employees and peri menopausal/menopausal age.”
David Wilkin, Director of Resourcing & Business Change, South Gloucestershire Council
I had the pleasure of attending Sarah’s session on managing menopause in the workplace twice in the past month, and from an Event Director’s point of view, I can confidently say that her expertise and presentation skills are exceptional. Sarah expertly guided the audience through the various symptoms of menopause, the impact it has on women, and the practical steps that workplaces can take to support their employees during this transition.
Her approach is both compassionate and informative, providing valuable insights that are often overlooked in professional environments. Sarah's ability to create an open and supportive atmosphere encourages meaningful discussions and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by menopausal women. She offers practical solutions that can be easily implemented, making her sessions not only educational but also actionable.
I highly recommend Sarah’s sessions to any organisation looking to enhance their awareness and support for employees going through menopause.

"The sessions were engaging, fun and allowed staff to open up and talk about their own experiences. It helped staff to realise they are not alone, help is available and it is OK to talk about the "M" word."
Shona Towl, Finance Lead & Business Support, Barnardo’s

Chief Constable James Vaughan, Dorset Police
"The team have delivered a broad range of support and development for Devon and Cornwall Police. This includes Menopause training for line managers, single points of contact and most importantly female staff. The team have helped the force to deliver important messages, build a strategy to understand and improve the force response to the Menopause and encourage an environment where women can thrive during a potentially challenging time of their life.
The way Sarah delivers the inputs and engage the audience is inspiring, particularly how they share personal stories and reflections, get people to open up and utilise other guest speakers to deliver the most up to date medical and nutritional information. Thanks for helping us to support our people and make a difference to women in the service. "
Chief Superintendent Sam De Reya, Devon & Cornwall Police
"It was a fantastic session for Head Office managers about the impact of the menopause. It was a huge help to us all to make every effort to be better informed so that subsequent actions make a real difference to all of those who work for shoezone."
Charles Smith, Chairman
"I'm a male manager, with a female team, one of whom is really struggling, so I appreciated increasing my knowledge to support her. Rolling this out is essential, especially within very male-dominated council departments.

We have a team of empowered people now who are keen to spread the word! Although the content was actually quite heartbreaking, we were left feeling energised and determined to improve the experience of people living with problematic perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Thanks again to Sarah and her team!

Quotes from staff attending menopause workshop for Asda George
"Sarah delivered a brilliant and eye-opening presentation that not only engaged an audience at the IOSH but also up skilled all to realise how menopause is an issue that should be taken as seriously as mental health. The presentation was not only professionally delivered and engaging but spurred a lot of us (especially male participants) to see the real and clear issues that women in our workplace face and also has inspired me to champion it at my workplace."
Quote from Trevor Hamilton, SHE Business Partner Royal Mail attending an IOSH Webinar
