What made you choose this menopause coaching diploma instead of other options?
viola Yau: Hi, I'm Viola from the cohort of September 2025 Women of a Certain Stage. What makes me choose this menopause coach? Instead of other options. I started researching online on relevant courses. Menopause coaching is not well known here, but I wanted more than just uh nutrition and fitness for women in midlife. Then I read this email from the menopause coach, an invitation to a 1 hour call for 3 nights for those who are interested. I joined the call every night. I think it's about midnight for my time zone. Thereafter, I scheduled a 1 to 1 session with Lauren and I am very comfortable with her. And so here I am joining the September 2025 cohort.
What specific challenge or uncertainty did you have before enrolling, and how has the training resolved that?
viola Yau: What specific challenges and uncertainties do I have before enrolling? Well, I have many and I'm sure most of us have. All right, so the first thing that occurs to me was, uh, how am I going to get my return on investment? How do I run this small business if I want to bring it further? How do I sustain this and how receptive would the target audience be? Those were the questions running through my mind. Um, so, well, what helps us, um, Lauren is very pragmatic, grounded. She covers everything I could think of since, uh, she has walked this journey more than 10 years ago, she covers every footprint she has gone through with us. The training is very comprehensive with experts and specialists sharing their knowledge with us, um, that resolve um most of the challenges and uncertainties I had earlier. The last bit, I must say is more on myself, so like any learning, she armed us with the tools, the rest is up to us to thrive.
How has this diploma changed your confidence, career, or business results so far?
viola Yau: How has this diploma changed my confidence so far? We were coached for 7 sessions, get to practice, uh, safe ground to make mistakes and to ask for suggestions for improvement. Uh, in addition, we have to find two practicing clients to coach. This greatly strengthens my confidence. During the course, we also have a specialists from different fields giving us a holistic view on how we could help. Uh, as such, it prompted me to, um, meet nutritionists, doctors, and personal trainers. This form a mini network for a starter to reach out to as many people as possible.
What surprised you most about the experience?
viola Yau: What surprised me most about the experience, I was exhilarated when my practicing clients told me how positive the coaching sessions were, uh, even though we are in the middle of the whole plan, uh, that itself is very fulfilling.
Who would you recommend this diploma to, and why?
viola Yau: I would recommend ladies who are passionate on this topic and willing to support women going through midlife to join this course as it covers most, if not all of the journey and blind spots you could think of. I also want to weigh in the cohort of ladies are really kind, helpful, and non-judgmental. The energy is tremendous and filled with love and kindness. And I, I hope to be able to do corporate talks and help ladies going through this stage of life to be empowered, healthier and happier.
