We aren’t ignoring life’s challenges, instead, we’re learning to recognise the small things that remain with us as support and guidance.

What to expect

  • A guided Gratitude Meditation led by Victoria

  • Explore how gratitude can positively influence mood and resilience

  • Practical ways to build a sustainable gratitude practice

  • Time for optional reflection and shared learning

This is perfect if you're struggling with rest, sleep, or simply feeling mentally and physically drained. 

What to expect

  • A guided Body Scan meditation led by Victoria

  • Techniques to help release physical tension and quiet a busy mind

This practical technique takes minutes to learn, and it can be used anywhere.

Mindfulness and Self-Compassion at Work and Beyond

This session explores the overlap between menopause and neurodivergence, and why hormonal changes can amplify existing sensitivities related to focus, mood, sleep, stress regulation, and sensory processing.

Combining neuroscience, hormones, and lived experience, this session offers a practical, neuro-affirming perspective on what is happening beneath the surface and how women and workplaces can better support this transition.

Facilitated by Scotti McLaren, a functional medicine practitioner.

Discover what workplace mindfulness really is (and isn't), how it helps regulate stress and sharpen focus, and how self-compassion can reduce self-doubt and self-blame so you can respond more wisely when things feel overwhelming.

You'll also learn practical techniques you can use immediately between meetings, before difficult conversations or on those days when your confidence feels a little fragile.

Facilitated by Victoria Brookbank, co-founder of MenoMinds.

Understanding Impostor Syndrome and Building Self-Confidence

Wednesday 15th July @ 12:00pm

Many women experience moments of self-doubt, fear of failure, or the feeling that they’re somehow “not good enough,” despite clear evidence of their success. This practical and empowering MenoMind's Academy workshop explores the psychology behind impostor syndrome and provides evidence-based tools to help participants build confidence, resilience, and self-compassion.

Through guided reflection, mindset techniques, mindfulness tools, and practical strategies, attendees will learn how to challenge negative thinking patterns, manage perfectionism, and reframe setbacks as opportunities for growth.

Facilitated by Victoria Brookbank co-founder of MenoMinds.

  • And other themes shaped by the realities of women’s lived experience

Each session offers something you can take away and apply, without pressure or perfection.

Who is the Academy for?

The MenoMinds Academy is for women who have completed the MenoMinds course and want:

  • Ongoing learning rather than a one-off experience

  • A sense of belonging and shared understanding

  • Space to talk openly about menopause without judgement

  • Expert guidance that feels human, not clinical

  • To continue developing tools that support their wellbeing at work and beyond

Many women tell us the most powerful part of MenoMinds is realising they’re not alone. The Academy keeps that connection alive.

  • Fantastic workshop! So interesting, informative and friendly. I loved the neuroscience and biological information which validates the reality of the changes.

    - Sarah T, Dialectical Behaviour Therapist & Founder of Flourish Midlife

  • A really positive, insightful, supportive session that moved at the perfect pace, lots of useful information that not only makes you feel more 'normal' through menopause, but also gave tangible solutions and ideas to take away for personal use and to share with my team, friends and family. I thought it was fantastic.

    - Rebecca, Head of Business Operations

  • Empower yourself with the knowledge and skills during your peri-menopause and menopause journey.

    - Lynsey G

  • I am not alone, recognising the symptoms, boundaries as self employed; loved meditation and breathing session - Victoria's voice is incredibly calming.

    - Iwona S

  • Every woman should attend these course. And everyone that knows a woman. It is empowering and reassuring.

    - Alison B, Owner Flourish Accounts

  • An insightful course, supplemented by an opportunity to connect with other women and share experiences and tools that can help at what can be a challenging period in our lives.

    Alison S, CEO Roots HR CIC

  • I found it useful and engaging. I think we need to talk more about this topic, bring awareness and educate ourselves so we can build community around this and support each other.

    - Natalia, Executive Director Early Years Cocoon

  • I loved the interaction and experiential format as well as the neuroscience and biological information which validates the reality of the changes. A fantastic workshop! So interesting, informative and friendly. Lovely ladies, knowledgeable and professional, as well as warm.

    - Sarah Turner, Dialectical Behaviour Therapist & Founder of Flourish Midlife

  • This course gave me the tools and confidence I needed to navigate menopause without letting it define my work or my life. I finally understand what's happening in my mind and body, and I have practical strategies to manage the stress and anxiety. It's been transformative for my business and my wellbeing.

    - Sabina Moretti, Marketing/Event Manager

  • So good to be in a learning space to hear facts and other people’s stories and coping mechanisms. All inspiring!

    - Nicola Shearer, Director Little Springtime

  • I attended this workshop yesterday and found it inspiring to be with a group of professional women all juggling multiple thing - business, family, health, professional profile while on a roller coaster of perimenopausal symptoms. Many ideas not only on how to help ourselves but wider support and tools available and even women sharing how they have created spaces and communities of their own - truly inspiring. MenoMinds Haley & Victoria created an amazing safe space for all of this to happen in 3 short hours. Thank you - I will be recommending the course to all the women I know - pre peri, peri and post menopause. 

    - Nicola Shearer, Director Little Springtime

  • It made me feel validated and accepted in my burnout and encouraged me to try to get back to using my skills more. The course allowed a safe space to openly discuss many difficult aspects of menopause. The facilitators put me at ease from the start. It made me feel validated and accepted in my burnout and encouraged me to try to get back to using my skills more.

    - Dr. Kate Yorke, Consultant Clinical Psychologist

  • There is always something new to learn about our amazing bodies and I left this session with more awareness of how perimenopause may affect me and what action I can take to help myself. I left the session feeling validated, reassured, and optimistic!

    - Veena, Content Strategist 

  • (The course) offers you a beautiful sense of support on a journey that feel lonely and confusing.

    - Emma Stewart, Programme Manager, Parents 1st UK

  • A real eye-opener, so good to be able to make more sense of everything, particularly all the emotions and realise that I am not alone on this journey. It really makes a lot of sense and gave me some things I can work on to improve my own wellbeing both at work and home. Thank you for championing Menopause education - it is so needed.

    - Victoria Ingamells, Product Manager

  • The workshop provides a safe space to connect, learn and share experiences without judgement.

    - Natalie, Accountant 

  • Even though we all might have learned quite a bit about menopause and mental health in the last couple of years through our own and others' experiences, this session connected several seemingly isolated data points and that made the learning experience very effective for me. It provided me a gentle nudge and affirmed how I can take better care of myself in this phase of my life. I also thoroughly enjoyed connecting and learning with others in the process.

    - Vibha Chokhani, Executive Coach & Counsellor

  • This session was relaxed, informative, and welcoming. Even though I’m not menopausal yet, I want to learn more about my body and how I can be more proactive with my overall health rather than reactive. I highly recommend this session to any woman who is navigating these changes or simply looking to better understand her body, like me.

    - Jessica, Chief of Staff

  • I would recommend women of any age to attend this session. It is a chance to take time for yourself and explore symptoms and mental health whilst also talking to other women. Lots of information about how to access further support and things that can be done on an Individual basis to help.

    - Rachael Sutton, Occupational Health Nurse

  • The Menominds workshop was insightful, practical and genuinely impactful. It created space for honest reflection while offering tools that felt immediately usable.

    - Jacqui Mark, Head of People

  • This session anchored me in knowledge I didn’t even realise I needed. I’m leaving with practical tools, greater clarity, and a renewed confidence, not only in navigating my own menopause experience, but also in holding supportive, open conversations at work.
