Menopause is a growing concern in the workplace. More than 50% of the population will experience menopause. Therefore, it makes sense to create workplace culture and environments that support employees at all stages of their lives and careers. Retention and excelling is key to

a healthy and productive workplace.


Period & Pause deliver friendly and professional menstrual health and menopause awareness workshops and training to staff and managers that help your company continue to grow and excel. We provide a safe space led by independent facilitators to share experiences, gain knowledge and challenge misconceptions about periods and the menopause.


We believe everybody deserves to thrive, enjoy doing their best work and feel comfortable in their workplace.

Our Partners

"At TechSwitch, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment within the tech industry. Our partnership with Period & Pause demonstrates our commitment to addressing the often-overlooked challenges of menopause in the workplace. Many of our TechSwitchers are women returners and the expertise that Period & Pause bring to the table helps us to better support them, both during the bootcamp and during their placements with our hiring partners. By acknowledging and raising awareness about menopause, together we want to create an empowered workforce where everyone’s experiences are valued and respected”

Such an important topic & relevant to all of us. Anna and Jenny read the room well and people felt comfortable to open up and speak about their own experiences. Great educational session.

Schools workshops

We deliver friendly & accessible menstrual health and menopause awareness workshops to secondary schools.


Since September 2020, menstrual wellbeing has become an extended part of the national curriculum and is a statutory requirement for secondary schools.


Our up to date tools and insights help nurture resilience and confidence. We help teenagers to feel at ease with themselves, understand their bodies and know how and when to access healthcare, and overcome menstrual health adversities.


We provide a safe space led by independent facilitators to share experiences, gain knowledge and challenge misconceptions about periods and the menopause.


Why I founded

Period & Pause

Anna Price founded Period & Pause while raising her two teenage daughters. While recovering from surgical menopause she decided to realise her vision for open and honest conversations with girls, women and workplaces about periods, menopause, health and wellbeing.


Drawing from her lived experience of endometriosis, adenomyosis, polycystic ovaries and surgical menopause, Anna & her team deliver workplace awareness training and educational workshops in secondary schools and one to one sessions. Anna shares her knowledge and advice on how to deal with challenges and live well. She is passionate about women's health and is a qualified menopause workplace coach & member of the British Menopause Society.
