💛 Welcome to This Week’s Show!

Today, I’m thrilled to welcome the fabulous Fiona Catchpowle, founder of The Menopause School, to the show. We’re diving into a conversation that affects every woman — whether you’re in your teens, forties, or well beyond the hot flushes!

This episode is all about menstrual health, what we should have learned at school, and why understanding our biology changes everything.

👩‍⚕️ About My Guest – Fiona Catchpowle

Fiona is the creator of The Menopause School, where she trains Holistic Health and Wellness Professionals to become Menstrual Health Informed Practitioners. With a background in both biology and holistic therapy, Fiona is passionate about bridging the knowledge gap around our bodies — starting with the menstrual cycle.

When she’s not teaching or mentoring, she’s a proud grandma to 6-year-old Teddy (who keeps her very busy!) and a passionate advocate for body literacy for all.

💬 In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Why menstrual cycles matter more than we think — and how misunderstanding them affects our wellbeing
• Fiona’s mission to re-educate practitioners, clients, and entire communities
• Who can join her courses and what the learning journey looks like (live sessions, recordings, 1:1 and groups)
• Why education around menstrual health is the key to lifelong wellness
• How to support the next generation to be better informed, confident, and empowered

“The biology we were taught at school simply wasn’t enough — and we’re still living with the consequences.” – Fiona Catchpowle
