Why You Should Come

Because this is the event we all wish had existed before things started going sideways.

Because women deserve better care, more accurate information, and a stronger sense of community.

Because menopause is not the end—it's the beginning of your next, most unapologetic chapter.

Because you’re not crazy, you’re hormonal—and that matters.

🌸 Why Menopolooza Is the Midlife Women’s Health Event You’ve Been Searching For

If you're in perimenopause or menopause and wondering where to turn for real answers and meaningful support, you're not alone — and you're not doing it wrong.

Menopolooza is a two-day, in-person event in Victoria, BC, focused entirely on the health and empowerment of midlife women. This isn’t just another wellness weekend. It’s a powerful feminist response to the medical system’s failure to treat hormone transitions with the care and expertise they deserve.

🔥 What Is Menopolooza?

Menopolooza is a menopause and perimenopause conference where science meets sisterhood. You’ll hear from doctors, therapists, nutritionists, pelvic floor physios, sexperts, and other menopause-literate healthcare providers.

Whether you’re dealing with:

• Brain fog and fatigue

• Mood changes or midlife anxiety

• Hot flashes, night sweats, or sleep disruptions

• Painful sex, vaginal dryness, or pelvic floor issues

• Weight gain or metabolic changes

• Or just wondering WTF is going on with my body?

…You’ll find evidence-based information, relatable stories, and actual resources to take home.

🧠 Mental Health + Hormones: A Missing Link

One of Menopolooza’s core themes is the connection between mental health and menopause. Too many women are prescribed antidepressants without ever being told that hormonal shifts might be the real culprit.

Our speakers — including Dr. Tracy Rodgers, a menopause-expert OB/GYN — will address:

• The overprescription of SSRIs

• The role of estrogen in brain health

• Self-compassion as a tool for nervous system regulation

• Safer, more effective ways to treat mood, sleep, and cognition changes in midlife

• She will also likely make you laugh, cry and maybe pee your pants a little (we have liners on standby)

🩺 Who Should Come?

This summit is for anyone who works with or is experiencing perimenopause or menopause — including:

• Women 35+ who want to understand what’s coming

• Caregivers and wellness seekers who are ready to stop Googling and start healing

• Healthcare providers (counsellors, RMTs, NDs, pelvic physios, nutritionists, MDs) who want CEUs and better ways to support clients

• Anyone who believes that women’s health deserves better
