Transforming Menstrual Health & Menopause

With the right tools, women can navigate menstrual health and menopause with confidence and clarity. I partner with individuals and organisations to bring awareness, education, and support to these topics, allowing women to bring about positive transformation in their lives, their communities, and their workplaces.

  • Awareness

    Grounded in published academic research, policy work, and an embodied, intersectional, gender-informed perspective.

  • Education

    From first conversation to lasting implementation. For organisations, teams, and people leaders ready to act.

  • Support

    Doula-based guidance and accompaniment with practical tools and resources to help women make informed choices and advocate for themselves.

Bringing Women's Health to Work

Menstrual health and menopause are closely tied to absenteeism, presenteeism, workability, and career choices. Yet we are still not talking about them in our workplaces. I help organisations build informed responses through education, training, and strategic support.

Talks

Research-grounded sessions that raise awareness, build understanding, and support employees personally affected. For the whole organisation or specific audiences.

Workshops

Protected spaces for knowledge, reflection, and strategy. For employees with a personal interest, multipliers, and colleagues.

Training

Training for people leaders giving managers the knowledge, language, and confidence to support the women in their teams.

Empowering Women's Health Choices

Menstrual health challenges and menopause can bring physical, emotional, and social changes that are often difficult to understand or navigate alone. Many women find themselves searching for reliable information, clarity about their symptoms, and space to reflect on what these experiences mean for their lives.

As a menopause doula, I provide education, resources, guidance, and emotional support. Through 1:1 sessions, workshops, masterclasses, and women's circles, online or in person, I help women find clarity and make informed decisions on their own terms.

Meet the Founder

I am Jennifer Chan de Avila, a researcher, educator, and menopause doula with a PhD in politics focused on gender and intersectionality. After navigating premature ovarian insufficiency myself and experiencing firsthand how little support exists for women going through menstrual health challenges and menopause, I decided to support individual women and help rewrite the story on women's health at work.

I co-authored "Menopause at Work: An Action Framework for Innovative Workplace Health Management" (Transcript Verlag, 2025), served as an associate researcher for the MenoSupport Project at HTW Berlin, and was the expert for Germany in the international group that developed ISO 45010 on menstruation and menopause at work. Today I work with organisations and individuals, bridging rigorous research, practical implementation, and embodied experience.

"Jennifer Chan de Avila's keynote at the fully booked P&G Forum in Zurich was an impressive demonstration of her presentation skills. She handled the topic with professional ease and provided healthcare management and HR professionals with concrete strategies for a more inclusive working environment."
Dr. Birte Lembke
Prevention and Health Promotion, Canton of Zurich
"We have been regularly inviting Jennifer for a talk and exchange for three years now. Our participants rate the event consistently very positively: they feel informed, understood and strengthened — especially women in male-dominated fields who often feel alone."
Rosaria Chirico
Kobra Berlin
"Jennifer knows the topic of menopause inside out and understands the university context equally well. She has a particular talent for creating spaces where everyone can participate. The combination of a workshop for those affected and one for people with personnel responsibility had exactly the multiplier effect we hoped for."
Heike Pantelmann, Margherita von Brentano Zentrum
