Kirsteen Campbell : I think what surprised me most was how much I've personally taken from The Menopause Coach plan.
What made you choose this menopause coaching diploma instead of other options?
Kirsteen Campbell : I chose to do the menopause coaching diploma with Lauren because I just felt that we had a really good connection. I had seen all of Lauren stuff advertised all over Facebook and X, I still call it Twitter and I just felt that there was something, a degree of warmth around Lauren. and then when we met for our sort of 1 to 1 before I signed up, we just had a real connection and I just knew that she was the person that I wanted to train with.
What specific challenge or uncertainty did you have before enrolling, and how has the training resolved that?
Kirsteen Campbell : I suppose the specific challenge and uncertainty that I had um was where I live incredibly rural area in Caithness, which is the far north of Scotland, didn't know how menopause coaching would come across up here, didn't know how to price up here, I don't know what area to cover, but a great thing with coaching as it can be done by phone, online, in person. and yeah, quickly kind of overcame that challenges and all is good.
How has this diploma changed your confidence, career, or business results so far?
Kirsteen Campbell : So it's taken a wee bit of time um to sort of establish a business. I did a lot of other qualifications last year because I wanted to do a bit more around menopause and other areas of women's health, and I also wanted to sort of write my own sort of training materials, but the stuff that Lauren put us away with was amazing. had so much confidence coming out of that course, and you know, she gives you so much tools to go forward with, and The Menopause Coach plan is just incredible, so it's been really, really good and it's really, really. Boosted my own confidence, my own knowledge, and every day is a learning day, and I think that's really, really important as well because the more that you do, more that you learn, and then you're able to offer for others, which is just incredible. So yeah, business is slowly building. Coaching side maybe slightly slower, but training side has been really, really popular and doing talks and stuff. So yeah, there's always a way to work things. It's just figuring out how to work it, but Lauren is always there at the end of an email if you need any help.
What surprised you most about the experience?
Kirsteen Campbell : I think what surprised me most was how much I've personally taken from my menopause coach plan. when I met Lauren, I was going for a oophorectomy. And then when we started the training, I had not long been put into surgical menopause, so the tools that I've learned myself and I cope with mechanisms and just a massive impact that lifestyle has on your day to day um around menopause has been crazy and for the first time in my life I have myself at a space where I am. Choosing to move more and I am losing weight. I just don't think it would have been possible without meeting Lauren and Take a part in this incredible course, and I think it's really nice that, you know, we've built up some friendships from a course as well. I mean, there was people from all over the world and our training cohort, and it's lovely to keep in touch with them and see how they're doing. and that was a really nice thing that Lauren gave us this platform to do as well, which was really, really good. So yeah, it has massively personally impacted me, which I think surprised me most.
Who would you recommend this diploma to, and why?
Kirsteen Campbell : I would recommend this diploma to anyone, anyone that's got an interest in women's health, anyone that's, maybe got lived experience of women's health knows just sometimes how much it can be a struggle. I think lived experience counts for a lot, and I think when you've actually been through something that makes you far more empathetic. and understanding as well, and he can just build that connection with people better as well. But it's really, really important that we get more coaches, and more awareness of when a pulse out into every community. we're constantly seeing women struggle, and it's not good enough, and Lauren's on an amazing mission and I can't wait to keep seeing more coaches come into space.
