Women aged approximately 40–58 who are in perimenopause, approaching it, or managing ongoing symptoms post-menopause. It is also valuable for women who are not yet symptomatic but want to understand and prepare. Men are welcome to attend where relevant — for example HR or People leaders.

Most menopause workplace sessions are awareness-based — they explain what perimenopause is and signpost to HR policy. Vitality-PeriM goes significantly further. It is a structured lifestyle health programme grounded in peer-reviewed research, covering eight evidence-based modalities including functional breathing, autonomic regulation, sleep optimisation, stress mastery, cardiovascular health, graduated movement, nutrition, and behaviour change. The facilitator has 15 years of cardiovascular health science experience. This is science-based lifestyle health education delivered at a clinical standard — not a wellness awareness talk.

No. Participation is entirely voluntary and no individual health data is collected, recorded, or retained by Novara. The workshop is a group lifestyle health education environment — not a medical consultation or health assessment. Participants engage only at the level they are comfortable with. There is no requirement to share personal symptoms, medical history, or health status at any point during the session.

The 20-participant cap is a deliberate quality and safety decision — not a logistics constraint. Perimenopause is a deeply personal topic. Women share more honestly, engage more deeply, and leave with more practical tools when the room feels intimate and psychologically safe. Above 20 participants the quality of experience degrades significantly and the facilitator cannot give adequate attention to each person. The cap is non-negotiable and is core to the premium positioning of Vitality-PeriM.

Half-Day (4 hours, from €3,500): Ideal for organisations new to this topic or with limited budget. Covers the core perimenopause science, functional breathing, sleep, and stress modules. Suited to introductory sessions or as a standalone annual wellbeing event. Full Day (7–8 hours, from €6,000): The recommended format for maximum impact. Covers all eight modules in full, includes a working lunch, individual 90-day action plan, and a post-event HR debrief call. Best for organisations serious about making a sustained difference. Two Half-Days (2 × 4 hours across two dates, from €8,500): The highest-depth option. Includes a practice period between the two sessions, progress check-in, and a group accountability structure. Best for behaviour change that lasts beyond the event itself. Also includes a follow-up pathway to Vitality-CMD for participants with cardiovascular health concerns.

No — the client provides the venue. A meeting room or boardroom on your premises works well, as does an externally booked venue. The room should seat up to 20 participants comfortably in a non-classroom arrangement — ideally with some flexibility in the furniture layout. Good natural light and quiet are important. We provide a brief venue specification document on booking. If you need assistance identifying a suitable external venue we are happy to advise.
