Women are desperate, often circumventing the health care system, and suffering needlessly. Stigma affects middle-aged women where we work, live, and play and 77% of women agree there should be more support for women in the workplace. It can feel like our old selves are disappearing.
‘The Change’ we want to see is in the conversation around The Menopause.
Our mission is to educate, empower, and bring women together as we journey through midlife and beyond
Maria, Christine, and Kate founded Three Wise Women out of frustration over a lack of access to information and care for our own menopause symptoms… symptoms that interfered with our well-being. We were tired of just accepting that menopause is a time of suffering – it doesn’t have to be.
There is an enormous knowledge and care gap for women in midlife, at a time when we are at the height of our careers, with years of wisdom and knowledge to contribute to our communities. And who better to develop products and services to help other women thrive through and after menopause than Three Wise Women bringing our expert knowledge and skill set! So that’s what we are doing.
