Course reviews

I really enjoyed the contents of the course. It took me longer to complete than I expected for many reasons, but I got there eventually and it was definitely worth it. To have a deeper awareness of the menstrual cycle and menopausal transition enables me to better support my female clients with health coaching. In fact, I now realise it is essential to have this understanding, and the knowledge I gained from each unit began informing my practice immediately. There are many health goals where hormonal health should be considered, and even if it is not the primary reason a client comes to see me, the knowledge I have gained from the course allows me to confidently educate clients about how the menstrual cycle, menopause and health beyond might be impacted. It also helps me to troubleshoot more accurately and make appropriate referrals when the issues fall outside my scope of practice. My female clients have been really receptive to education about hormonal health and often report how helpful it would have been to know this stuff sooner! The resources provided throughout the course have also been useful.The course has also helped me personally , I understand my cycle like never before and I feel empowered as I move through the next stages.Thank you to everyone at IHS for putting together another excellent course.
