Speaker: Julie Cosgrove, Menopause Coach. Registered Nurse, JIW Healthcare Consultancy Ltd.
What made you choose this menopause coaching diploma instead of other options?
Julie Cosgrove: What made me choose um this menopause coaching diploma instead of others, um, I sort of fell into it, to be honest. I had attended Lauren's um menopause awareness sessions, um, about 6 months earlier, and I had a, had a chat with her, um, about where I could get further training because I wanted to support the women that I was working with in my occupational health role. Um, she then invited me into the first cohort of her many menopause champion training, which I jumped at and absolutely loved. And then she offered me the opportunity to become a coach. And at the time, I didn't know what a coach did, let alone what a menopause coach did. I was just desperate to learn more. And to be honest, I don't remember seeing any adverts about other menopause coaching courses, um, anywhere. So that's how I ended up working with Lauren.
What specific challenge or uncertainty did you have before enrolling, and how has the training resolved that?
Julie Cosgrove: What specific challenge or uncertainty did I have before enrolling? I didn't really have any. I was just desperate to find out more. I was just so excited about the opportunity to learn more and be able to support more women. Um, I absolutely loved the diploma and um, Yeah, cause I didn't, I didn't, I didn't really understand what I was getting myself in for.
How has this diploma changed your confidence, career, or business results so far?
Julie Cosgrove: How is the diploma changed my confidence, career or business results? It's given me a lot more confidence in supporting menopausal women within my occupational health role. Um, I now use part of the menopause plan or um go through sort of the menopause plan weeks when speaking to them and advising them on managing their symptoms. Um, I'm also working as Julie menopause coach as well, and that is amazing. I, you know, coaching clients is the highlight of my week. I absolutely adore it and I love watching. The transformation that they have within a really short space of time and regaining their lives back.
What surprised you most about the experience?
Julie Cosgrove: What surprised me most about the experience? I think it was working with the practise clients, um, and seeing the results that the menopause plan actually has and seeing it actually work.
Julie Cosgrove: The results have blown me away, and every time I take a client through it, just seeing how, how something so simple is so transformational, it just gets me every time. I think that's what surprised me about the experience.
Who would you recommend this diploma to, and why?
Julie Cosgrove: Why would I recommend this diploma to anybody, um. I think the fact that it's taught by someone who actually knows what they're doing, um, who has done the research and the diploma is evidence-based, um, it's live, you get to question, you get to actually practise with clients.
Julie Cosgrove: Um, Lauren is bringing in experts. You know, to make sure you are getting the right information, um. But yeah, no, I would definitely, you know, do if I was going to do the this um a coaching diploma in menopause, I would definitely go through women of a certain stage.
