Women’s Health Matters & Menopause Matters

Empowering Women, Supporting Well-Being, Transforming Workplaces

Ellen Kocher, an internationally recognized workplace well-being expert, Master Certified Coach (MCC), and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), is passionate about advancing women’s health and well-being throughout their personal and professional lives.

Through her interactive Women’s Health Matters and Menopause Matters sessions, Ellen brings essential, often overlooked health topics into the workplace, creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging space for awareness, dialogue, and practical learning.

Women’s Health Matters: Supporting Women at Every Stage

Women’s health is more than reproductive health. From hormonal changes and stress to sleep, energy, nutrition, movement, and healthy aging, women’s health needs evolve throughout life—and can significantly influence well-being, confidence, and professional fulfillment.

Ellen’s Women’s Health Matters session takes a holistic, evidence-informed approach to women’s health, helping participants better understand their bodies, recognize the interconnected dimensions of well-being, and develop practical strategies to thrive.

The session explores key areas including physical and emotional health, hormonal transitions, stress management, nutrition, movement, sleep, and sustainable lifestyle habits.

Participants leave with greater awareness, actionable tools, and renewed confidence to take charge of their health and well-being.

Menopause Matters: Breaking the Silence in the Workplace

With women representing nearly half the workforce, menopause is an important workplace health issue that deserves greater attention.

In her signature Menopause Matters interactive session, Ellen helps normalize conversations about perimenopause and menopause, challenge age-related and gender-based stereotypes, and promote a more supportive workplace culture.

Combining scientific insights with practical strategies, the session addresses the physical, cognitive, and emotional dimensions of menopause, including hormonal changes, sleep disturbances, weight management, stress, and energy.

Participants gain a clearer understanding of the menopausal transition, practical approaches to managing symptoms, and greater confidence in navigating this stage of life—both personally and professionally.

Ellen also highlights why menopause awareness matters to organizations, from employee engagement and retention to inclusion, well-being, and sustainable performance.

Interactive, Practical, and Tailored to Your Organization

Both sessions combine evidence-informed insights, interactive discussion, personal reflection, and practical takeaways.

Depending on the organization’s needs, sessions can be adapted for women’s groups, mixed audiences, leaders, or HR professionals.

Participants can expect to:

- Better understand women’s health challenges and opportunities across life stages.
- Explore practical strategies for nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and hormonal well-being.
- Develop greater confidence in making informed health and lifestyle choices.
- Challenge misconceptions and reduce stigma around women’s health and menopause.
- Identify concrete actions to support personal well-being and more inclusive workplaces.

Optional individual coaching sessions and curated resources can extend learning beyond the workshop, helping participants translate awareness into sustainable action.

Because women’s health matters—not just on International Women’s Day, but every day.
