This seminar is an opportunity to understand your body better; 4 hour intimate event with like minded women in the heart of Prestwich

Overview

Most of us are taught very little about menstrual and hormonal health.

We might learn the basics of periods at school, but not how the menstrual cycle actually works, why our bodies and needs can change across the month and across our lives, what common menstrual health conditions can look like, or how to recognise when something deserves further investigation.

This seminar is an opportunity to understand your body better.

This seminar is accessible, evidence-informed, inclusive and genuinely useful in everyday life.

There is no expectation to already understand your cycle, use particular terminology or have a regular period. It’s for anyone curious and looking for an alternative way to understand health

There will be a 15-minute comfort break halfway through the session. Participation is always optional and you will never be expected to disclose personal health information to the group

It is supportive for those in perimenopause or menopause

It is designed with affirming, inclusive language for: Trans women, Trans men, non-binary people and gender non-conforming individuals
