Perimenopause event to educate, empower and connect

Tickets are now on sale for an empowering afternoon of expert talks, real support and clarity on all things perimenopause, to be held at the Quality Gateway Hotel in Wangaratta from 1pm-5:30pm on Sunday, 31 August. Skinsational Cosmetic Nursing owner and event organiser, Jess O'Sullivan, said the event is all about starting honest, empowering conversations around a stage of life that’s often misunderstood or swept under the rug. "We’ve gathered an incredible panel of local women’s health professionals to unpack everything from hormones to mental health, skin changes to libido, and everything in between," she said. "Think of it as a supportive, informative afternoon - plus great company, goodie bags, lucky door prizes and a few laughs along the way." The afternoon will include Q&A sessions, curated gift bags worth hundreds of dollars, delicious afternoon tea, lucky door prizes, exclusive event-only offers and a safe space to connect with women who get it, featuring expert voices in medicine, psychology, nutrition, exercise, skin and pelvic health to unpack the chaos, answer your questions, and remind you that you’re not going through this alone. Ms O'Sullivan said attendees can expect to feel seen, heard and a little more prepared. "It’s not just a sit-and-listen kind of day," she said. "We’re creating a space that’s warm, welcoming, and full of real talk. "Whether you're curious, confused, or just craving connection, you’ll walk away with clarity and confidence." Ms O'Sullivan said the event is filling a gap in education for local women about perimenopause and menopause. "So many women tell us they feel blindsided by symptoms or brushed off when they ask questions," she said. "We wanted to create something that says, 'you’re not imagining it - and you’re not alone'. "There’s a real need for local, relatable, evidence-based information. "This event is about bridging that gap and helping women feel informed and empowered to advocate for themselves. "This isn’t just an event, it’s a movement towards better conversations, better care, and better understanding. "Whether you're already navigating perimenopause or just want to be ready when it comes, we’d love you to be part of this day. "It’s time we normalised the messy, magnificent middle chapter of womanhood." The event is open to everyone in the community, whether you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond. Ms O'Sullivan said this event is for anyone who’s starting to notice changes and wondering “is this normal?” "We also encourage partners, friends, and support people to come along too," she said. "The more we all understand perimenopause and menopause, the better supported women will be at work, at home, and in the community."
