Breaking the Silence on Menopause: Supporting Your Mind, Body, and Wellbeing with Hypnotherapy
Next week marks Women’s Health Week 2025, Australia’s largest annual campaign dedicated to the well-being of women, girls, and gender-diverse people. This year’s theme, “Say yes to you”, is a gentle reminder that prioritising your health isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
Yet, there’s one topic we rarely talk about openly: perimenopause and menopause. Despite affecting half the population, menopause is often whispered about, dismissed, or overlooked. In my workshops, women frequently share how unprepared and isolated they feel during this life stage:
“I had no idea what was happening to me—nobody talks about this” OR “I feel invisible at work and at home” OR “I wish I had guidance on managing the hot flashes, mood swings, and sleepless nights.”
Hearing these experiences over and over makes one thing clear: we need to talk about menopause more.
Government Support for Women’s Health
The Australian government has recognised the importance of supporting women through menopause and has been investing in women’s health initiatives. These include programs to:
Raise awareness about menopause and its symptoms.
Fund research and improve access to quality healthcare.
Support mental well-being, preventive care, and healthy lifestyle strategies.
It’s encouraging to see these investments, which ensure women have access to the information, guidance, and resources they need during this pivotal stage of life.
Menopause-Friendly Businesses Leading the Way
Workplace support can make a huge difference. Some Australian organisations are paving the way by creating menopause-friendly environments:
Deloitte Australia – the first accredited Menopause Friendly workplace, providing fans, comfort-focused workwear, and hydration options.
AngloGold Ashanti Australia – supporting employees through all life stages, including menopause.
St John WA – committed to a supportive environment for menopausal staff.
Australian Red Cross Lifeblood – recognised for creating inclusive, accommodating workplaces.
These companies are showing that acknowledging menopause is not only necessary—it benefits everyone. How is your employer addressing your needs?
How Hypnotherapy Can Help
I approach menopause holistically, recognising that it’s not just a physical transition but also an emotional and mental journey. Hypnotherapy can support women by:
Reducing stress and anxiety linked to hormonal changes.
Improving sleep quality during night sweats or restless nights.
Supporting emotional balance, confidence, and resilience.
Encouraging positive habits and mindfulness to manage symptoms naturally.
In workshops, women have shared how hypnotherapy helped them:
“I feel calmer and more in control of my emotions.”
“Sleep is finally returning, and I wake up refreshed.”
“I have tools to manage the daily ups and downs, and it feels empowering.”
Menopause doesn’t have to be navigated alone. Support, community, and practical tools can help you thrive.
This Women’s Health Week: Say Yes to You
Each day of Women’s Health Week focuses on self-care:
Monday: Every check matters – Stay on top of screenings and health check-ups.
Tuesday: Take the lead – Make choices that prioritise your wellbeing.
Wednesday: Heart smart – Keep your heart healthy.
Thursday: Pain to power – Transform discomfort into strength.
Friday: Be kind to your mind – Support your mental and emotional health.
Whether you’re navigating menopause or simply looking to support your health, this week is a reminder to make space for yourself. Attend workshops, explore therapies like hypnotherapy, and embrace self-care.
Remember: saying yes to you is never selfish—it’s necessary. When women thrive, everyone benefits.
