Meet MenoPalz

MenoPalz supports multigenerational workplaces with clinically-informed menopause solutions.

MenoPalz was founded by long-time friends who realized they were sharing the same struggle: menopause in the workplace. Together, they turned personal experiences into a powerful mission.

With over 30 years of combined expertise across coaching, women’s health, organizational development, and leadership strategy, our team partners with organizations to develop meaningful menopause benefits. Together, we help employees thrive during one of the most overlooked life transitions in the workplace.

Through our inclusive approach, we translate lived experience into practical, stigma-free solutions that elevate company culture, reduce turnover, and position organizations to lead with empathy.

Our Mission

MenoPalz exists to empower organizations and individuals with the tools, language, and strategies to navigate menopause and midlife transitions at work. We transform taboo topics into structured learning, inclusive policies, and leadership development that strengthen culture, improve retention, and prioritize equity.
