Forewarned + Forearmed = Formidable

Because midlife shouldn't be a crisis

“I’m not a doctor, but I’ve walked this path. And I know what it feels like to not have support from places we have traditionally relied on for help. The cost to women in not having this addressed as a matter of priority is too high right now.”

we need to be better educated and learn how to advocate for ourselves.

Mani has first hand experience of the confusion that surrounds perimenopause. She knows the questions that women want the answers to and what they need to know now. She is professionally trained in the physiology and symptoms of this life stage. Her various workshops are designed as follows:

WORKSHOP 1

FOREWARNED - "From 20 to Peri". The S.T.R.O.N.G. framework.

WHAT PROBLEM DOES THIS WORKSHOP SOLVE? It educates core foundational pillars to maximise health outcomes for perimenopause that we were never taught at school, but really need to know. The earlier we can start the better, but whether you are 20 or 50+, this workshop will ensure you and your loved ones will have the knowledge to implement daily habits and strategies to optimise bone, muscle and health needs. This workshop prepares you from puberty, through pregnancy so you are S.T.R.O.N.G. and prepared for perimenopause.

WORKSHOP 2

FOREARMED - From Confusion to Clarity.

WHAT PROBLEM DOES THIS SOLVE? - Women get the tools to take back control of their individual perimenopause journey and learn the language that will enable them advocate for their needs with medical professionals and in the workplace.

WORKSHOP 3

FORMIDABLE

WHAT PROBLEM DOES THE WORKSHOP SOLVE? - Rather than be stuck as the woman she has had to be until now, the F.O.R.M.I.D.A.B.L.E. framework helps women to strategically identify their 'First, Next, and Then' steps to design their lives on their terms, for the woman she wants to become.

WORKSHOP 4

STRONG WOMEN,STRONG FUTURES - Supporting women through perimenopause at work.

WHAT PROBLEMS DOES THIS WORKSHOP SOLVE? -

This workshop equips managers and workforce leaders with an understanding of how perimenopause’s impacts female physiology in physical, mental and emotional form, leading to a better understanding of how this can manifest in work performance. With this information, workplaces can then identify the opportunities and the challenges that exist in their own context, and how these may be overcome or adjusted to support talent retention. Becoming an enlightened workplace helps to attract and retain top performers, improving staff retention, workforce loyalty and bottom line profits.
