A woman is giving a presentation in front of a large audience in a theater or lecture hall. The presentation slide on the screen behind her displays a circle chart with the title 'Setting the Space' and words like 'Intention' and 'Focus.' The audience is seated and attentively listening. The room has high ceilings with exposed pipes, and walls are decorated with black-and-white photographs.

“Judy explains complicated health topics in an easy to understand way that is information and entertaining. She gives us hope for the future of women’s health care.”

Safe and non-judgment Q&A for patients and providers helps with:

  • Mythbusting common misconceptions about Menopause Hormone Therapy

  • Discussing emerging data in perimenopause care

  • Understanding the many causes of perimenopause symptoms

  • Understanding body composition and weight changes in midlife

  • Shifting our mindset and societal views on midlife women’s health

  • Differentiating between providers and profiteers

“Judy does question and answer in an anonymous way so that we can get reliable answers without being judged. There is even opengroup discussions so we are all helping each other. It feels so good to know I’m not alone in this.”

She appears to be speaking. There is a green water bottle on the stage next to her and a partially visible black curtain or panel on the right.

Seminars are tailored to the audience or organization with topics like:

  • Lifestyle for midlife health: nutrition, exercise, rest/recovery, perceived stress

  • Menopause Hormone Therapy for patients or providers

  • Midlife Disease prevention and treatment (Heart, Bone, Brain, Breast)

  • Frailty education and prevention

  • Shiftwork impacts on health

  • Mental Health during perimenopause

  • How Politics and Policy Influences Women’s Health

“We were all talking about it the next day and even the next week. We’re all planning to share her information with our moms, sisters, and friends. It’s valuable even if you’re not in the menopause transition yet.”

The Menopause Museum Tour:

In collaboration with Kelly McIntosh, General Manager of the Stratford Perth Museum, six menopause education events in Stratford sold out in 2024. Based on attendant requests, they are taking this education on the road to other Museums to speak on:

  • The History of Women’s Healthcare and Why it Matters Today

  • The Women’s Health Initiative and its enduring impact on Women’s Health

  • Understanding the Menopause Transition

  • Thriving in and beyond Menopause

  • Non-hormonal, Hormonal, and Lifestyle Considerations in Midlife and Beyond

  • Advocating for ourselves, each other, and future generations

“Between opening the Menopause Clinic and the Museum Seminars, Judy has changed women’s health care in Huron-Perth. The history really helped me understand why women’s health is where it is today and how we can influence health care policy and advocacy going forward. She started an entire movement.”
