Workplace menopause
support that goes
beyond awareness

Training, tools and real cultural change for organisations that want to retain their best people, meet incoming legislation, and give their Menopause Champions something that actually works.

Champions without tools

Most Menopause Champions are volunteers who genuinely want to help, but have no practical, in-the-moment technique. When a colleague is struggling right now, good intentions are not enough.

Awareness is not enough

Standard menopause training tells people what menopause is. It rarely equips anyone to respond when a colleague is overwhelmed during a working day. That gap costs organisations real people and real productivity.

Legislation is coming

From 2027, UK organisations with 250 or more employees must have formal Menopause Action Plans. A policy document on a shelf does not achieve this. Trained, skilled champions do.

HRT addresses the hormones. EFT addresses the mind. Most women are managing menopause with only half the solution. That is the gap I exist to close.

Louisa Hussey, Menopause Trainer and EFT Practitioner
Only 14% of women in the UK are on HRT (NHS England). The remaining 86% are managing symptoms alone, at work, every day. EFT gives your champions a clinically-researched technique to help those women in real time, without a prescription, a referral, or a therapy room. EFT reduces cortisol by 24% in peer-reviewed clinical trials (Church et al., Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 2012).
The Louisa Hussey Difference

Relatable. Real.
The trainer who answers everything.

No other Menopause Champion training in the UK includes EFT. That gives your champions a genuine ability to help a colleague in real time, not just listen and signpost.

Louisa is known for combining clinical knowledge with lived experience, and for answering every question with truth and language that actually lands. Her sessions are the ones people leave talking about and go back and share with every woman they know.

Whether she is delivering to five champions or five hundred employees, the energy is the same: warm, direct, evidence-led, and completely free of corporate platitudes.

Social Value

Do good for your team.
Do good for your community.

Every piece of work Louisa does for your organisation can also be done for a voluntary organisation, charity or community group of your choice. Whatever you hire Louisa to deliver, she will deliver the same for your preferred VCSE.

"There is definitely a need for this, and for this to be cheap or free for VCSEs. There is not a single offer that is affordable at the moment, that I know of." Anushka Swannell, Policy and Influence Development Worker, Manchester Community Central (MACC), April 2026

Many third sector organisations are doing critical frontline work in homelessness, domestic violence, education and community health, and their staff are still navigating the menopause. They cannot afford specialist training. This model changes that.

Your investment generates documented social value for your reporting frameworks, including TOMS (NT26: Initiatives taken or supported to engage people in health interventions or wellbeing initiatives in the community), and equivalent procurement requirements.

How the model works
1
You commission any Louisa Hussey Menopause serviceA workshop, a champion programme, a speaking engagement, anything at all
2
You name your preferred VCSE or charityOrganisations you already partner with, causes aligned with your values, or Louisa can help you identify the right match
3
Louisa delivers the equivalent to themThe same quality, the same content, the same warmth, for an organisation that could not otherwise access it
4
You receive documented social value evidenceFull reporting evidence for your TOMS, NT26 or equivalent procurement social value requirements, including measurable outcomes and participant numbers
Complete transparency on pricing

One investment. Two organisations. Two impacts.

The social value model is a genuine dual investment. You pay for both deliveries. In return, your organisation receives support for your team, meaningful support for your chosen charity, documented social value for reporting, and the kind of community impact that generates real reputational benefit.

Whatever you commission for your organisation,
Louisa delivers the same for your chosen charity

Both organisations receive the full programme, the full quality, and the full benefit. This is a deliberate double-delivery model, not a subsidy or a discounted add-on.

Awareness Workshop

You book a menopause awareness session for your team (from £1,500)

+
Your chosen VCSE receives the same workshop, funded by you

Champion Training

You commission the 8-week champion programme for up to 16 of your champions (from £5,950)

+
Your chosen VCSE receives the same programme, funded by you

Speaking and Events

You book Louisa to speak at your event, ERG or conference

+
Your chosen VCSE receives the same session, funded by you

The social value option is available for every service Louisa offers. VCSE partner organisations include those working in homelessness, domestic violence, youth services, education, women's employment and community health. If you have an existing charity partner, Louisa will work with them. Full social value documentation is provided for TOMS reporting, including NT26 alignment, monetary value calculations and measurable outcomes.

What people say

Real words from real people
after working with Louisa

“Today I felt like a completely different person to yesterday. I feel much lighter and there is no other way to explain it except I have managed to get stuff done. Stuff that I have been putting off for weeks. I have not felt like this for what seems forever.”

Workshop Attendee
After a single EFT session with Louisa

“I really enjoyed Louisa's approach to discussing the menopause. It made the conversation easy and started to break down what can feel like a taboo topic. The webinar certainly achieved that aim for us and I am very grateful.”

Leanne Rutter, Senior HR Business Partner
Bureau Veritas

“I finally caught up with this one, absolutely brilliant. Now sending the links to Louisa to all the women I know. It is also really helpful for speaking to clients too.”

Kayte
Corporate Attendee

“The words ‘thank you’ seem so inadequate. Working with you has helped me move on from a multitude of destructive, deep-rooted thoughts and feelings which, without your help, I would never have thought possible.”

What people say about working with Louisa

Relatable. Real. The trainer who answers everything.

"Having someone speak my language, and deliver it in such a personal and bespoke way has dislodged it SO deeply. The youtube stuff is ok, but it is not even close to what happens when we work together."

Donna Easton, 1:1 Client

"Her ability to combine deep knowledge with personal experience made the topic feel relatable and empowering. The session perfectly demonstrated the power of community, connection, and honest conversation."

Olivia Waite, Channel Factory

"I really enjoyed Louisa's approach to discussing the menopause. It made the conversation easy and started to break down what can feel like a taboo topic."

Leanne Rutter, Bureau Veritas

"I have not felt like this for what seems forever. That makes me think about how amazing I will feel after the four week course!"

The Science Behind the Approach

Why EFT works in the workplace

Menopause disrupts every level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs: physiological comfort, psychological safety, sense of belonging, self-esteem and the ability to perform at full capacity. Standard awareness training addresses the surface. EFT works from the bottom up.

By targeting the body's stress response through acupressure tapping points, EFT reduces cortisol, interrupts the fight-or-flight cycle, and allows the brain to process the emotional material that menopause brings to the surface. A peer-reviewed randomised controlled trial by Church et al. (Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 2012) found EFT reduced cortisol by 24% in a single session.

This is a practical regulation tool your champions can use in five minutes, in any setting, with any colleague. No referral. No waiting list. No stigma.

2027 Legislation

The law is changing.
Is your organisation ready?

Starting now means you have evidence, skills and culture already embedded when the requirement lands, with time to build genuine change rather than scramble for compliance.

2023
Worker Protection Act 2023 enactedStrengthened employer duties to proactively prevent harassment, with menopause a key intersecting issue under the Equality Act 2010, sections 5 and 6 (age and disability)
2025
Employment Rights Bill progressesFurther legislative movement on employer duties around health, wellbeing and equality, with menopause provisions under active parliamentary discussion
2027
Menopause Action Plans expected to become mandatoryOrganisations with 250 or more employees without trained champions, documented plans and active support will face significant legal and reputational exposure

What a credible Action Plan actually requires

A policy document alone is not sufficient. Regulators and employment tribunals look for evidence of active, practical support in place:

  • Named, trained Menopause Champions with documented skills
  • Champions who can respond actively, not just signpost
  • Evidence of training, supervision and ongoing support
  • A culture where menopause is discussed openly without stigma
  • Reasonable adjustments processes understood by line managers

2027 is closer than most organisations realise

Starting now gives you time to train champions properly, embed culture change, and have documented evidence ready. Starting later means rushing a policy document nobody reads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know
before getting in touch

No other Menopause Champion training in the UK currently includes EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). This gives your champions a clinically-researched, immediately usable technique that gives them a genuine ability to help a colleague in real time. Standard awareness training does not provide this. EFT is accredited by EFT International, the world's leading professional EFT organisation.

The social value model is a genuine dual investment. You pay for the service to be delivered to your team, and you pay for the same service to be delivered to a VCSE organisation of your choice. Both deliveries are full quality. In return, your organisation receives documented social value evidence for reporting purposes, including NT26-aligned TOMS documentation, measurable outcomes data and participant numbers.

Both options are available for every service. Virtual delivery works well for geographically dispersed or hybrid teams. In-person delivery is available across the North West and nationally by arrangement. A hybrid approach can also be discussed for the champion training programme.

The 8-week programme is priced for cohorts of up to 16 champions, which reflects a typical Menopause Champion team size. Larger organisations can run multiple cohorts sequentially. Pricing for smaller cohorts can also be discussed. Please book a discovery call to talk through your specific situation.

Yes, and this is often the most compelling entry point. Existing champions are already motivated and care about the role. Adding EFT Level 1 skills transforms what they can actually do in practice. The programme can be adapted for champions who already have awareness foundations in place, concentrating more time on EFT techniques and practical application.

Yes. Menopause Action Plan guidance is included within the champion training programme. A standalone 2027 Compliance Checklist is available as a free download at louisahussey.myflodesk.com/menopausekit, which is useful for internal preparation or for making the business case to senior stakeholders.

No. EFT is taught from the ground up as part of the champion programme. No prior therapeutic or medical experience is required. The technique is practical and accessible. Champions can use it independently after Level 1 training, including in a brief, private moment with a colleague during a working day.

Yes. One post-training supervision session is included as standard in the champion programme. This allows champions to bring real situations they have encountered and consolidate their skills. Further ongoing supervision can be arranged separately. Louisa also remains contactable for champions who have questions in the weeks following training.

Louisa typically books the full 8-week programme four to six weeks ahead. Individual workshops and speaking engagements can often be arranged more quickly. Book a discovery call to discuss your timeline and any internal approval processes that need to be factored in.
