The Menopause Pioneer
Designed for every business
Designed for every business
Kathryn Colas resigned from a senior executive role in hotel management because of an unknown challenge that she was totally unprepared for. Menopause, the debilitating symptoms, lack of awareness and the dense shroud of taboo were totally unexpected and difficult to accept. As someone who had always relied on her inner resilience, perseverance and bounce back approach, Kathryn decided to pursue answers to all of the questions that simply didn’t make any sense.
Kathryn began to investigate, starting with a series of why’s, including why this natural transition was not on any workplace agenda and why women were simply expected to put up and shut up. Nine years later she is a published author, a highly regarded guest speaker and the founder of a menopause training business, the Kathryn Colas Academy.

After years of pioneering work to bring menopause onto the business, government and education agendas Kathryn decided to take her research, training experience and knowledge to a wider audience, supporting women across a diverse range of organisations throughout the UK and beyond. The result is two externally Accredited Menopause Training programmes, designed for every business.
The programmes address different customer needs but share a combined purpose of support and inclusivity. The Executive Menopause Coach programme is designed for independent trainers , while the Menopause Ambassador programme is designed for businesses looking to create their own certified internal menopause ambassadors, providing support to everyone within their organisations
