"2020 study of Australian females on perimenopause and menopause (46-69 year old women) found that "women had a good understanding of the immediate effect of menopause, their lack of knowledge of the long term consequences is concerning"
- D Hubert et al. 2020
Hormones are secretly working away protecting your heart, bones, and brain. As the hormone profile changes across the lifespan issues in heart disease, osteoporosis, dementia, diabetes and depression are likely consequences of hormone deficiency which START in perimenopause.
These changes can be ameliorated through nuances adjustments and an understanding of these changes and how they present.
As hormones shift, don't get stuck, know your choices.
What works in your 20s is different to what works in your 30s, so why force this unique window into a rhythm from the past?? Shifting gear from what you’ve always done to understand what to do and what the change should be.
This course will not leave the importance of mental health and self-awareness unaddressed.
The intention is for you to understand your unique body, mind and life experience from all domains of life and see the shifts that you can forecast with your newly acquired knowledge and view of yourself.
It may not be all rainbows but will be directed by intentions for intact sense of self and better health guided by self awareness and behaviour change.
The quick answer is:
If you are 37 and a planner or 40 + and noticing changes in your health & body patterns (ie: things that were predictable before aren't predictable anymore). Or you are straight up, having perimenopausal symptoms.
It can also be a question about HOW DO YOU PLAN?
For those working in the medical, allied health or personal training space - clinicians, students, trainers
reach out for mentorship or professional workshops.
Somethings in health are uniquely female. The focus on this critical window of time in female health has changed. The answers that were left UNanswered for generations are now being liberated and demystified.
Each week takes a dive into the current science to ensure health benefits with your exercise changes and tools to self awareness that keep you true to "who am I" in the face of challenges. With bonus content along the way ;)

“ The changes I've made have resulted in me feeling stronger and more at ease with the changes I have experienced in my body shape as a result of perimenopause. Unna’s sessions have enabled me to re-think my attitude to exercise, food and how this impacts my decisions on how I maintain a healthy body and mind. ”
Rachael (46 years old)
“When Unna announced her new course, I didn’t hesitate to jump on board. Now having finished I believe I’m on the right track to transition through peri-menopause and menopause strongly which makes me feel very positive about living a healthy and vibrant life going forward, I feel I’m in control and not being re-active but pro-active. ”
