Testimonials

"Mo Caldwell and Pauline Nicol, the founders of Saorsa Menopause Consultancy have delivered several Menopause events for Women in Banking and Finance. These sessions have not only been highly informative and empowering, but also really engaging as both Mo and Pauline shared their anecdotal experiences of the menopause and encouraged all attendees to participate as well. They created a safe space for attendees to ask any questions and feel heard. Their uplifting personalities shine through when delivering the sessions. I cannot recommend Saorsa Menopause Consulting enough for any organisations looking to secure a fantastic menopause training programme."

"We invited Saorsa to join us at one of our training events and Pauline gave an excellent presentation about all things menopause.  The information she shared was informative and well received and her knowledge about the menopause is both current and very relevant and all evidence based.  Despite being a serious subject matter, Pauline managed to present the information in an open and friendly way that enabled people to ask some difficult questions, there was also great moments of humour that helped keep everyone relaxed and engaged. Saorsa offer the opportunity to both women and men to participate and everyone who attended gave very positive feedback about the experience.  Pauline was very open to questions and her answers offered a better understanding of both collective and individual experiences.  It was very telling that as women there was so much we didn’t know about something that we all experience and highlights just how needed this training is. 

We will definitely invite Saorsa again as there is still so much more to learn and we will highly recommend them to all our partner agencies."

“Mo and Pauline ran a Lunch and Learn session for our divisions Women’s Network which was hugely successful and very well attended. The session gave us a greater understanding of the menopause and a real insight into what some women experience. The ladies were very knowledgeable and answered all of the questions raised in detail. The session was both inclusive and friendly. The ladies were approachable and we had great feedback from people that attended the event. Mo and Pauline delivered the hard hitting facts but also had the ability to make the group laugh, interact and most importantly have these conversations that have been needed in the workplace for some time. Thank you Saorsa.”

Saorsa Menopause Consultancy recently delivered half day Menopause Champion Training to three colleagues who had volunteered to fulfil the Champion role. This training provided our volunteer Champions with comprehensive information on menopause, including its physical and emotional effects, as well as practical strategies for supporting individuals going through this phase in their life.

The Saorsa Consultants were knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive, creating a safe space for learning and discussion. Since completing the training, the volunteer Menopause Champions feel empowered to advocate for menopausal individuals in both their personal and professional life. We thank the Saorsa Consultants for this invaluable opportunity which will help colleagues at ENU feel supported and heard.

Saorsa Menopause Consultancy delivered a “Health & Menopause” session in March 2023 to over 50 colleagues who were all at the various stages of their menopause journey and keen to understand their physical and emotional symptoms better.

Mo Caldwell and Pauline Nicol have used their own personal experience to break the stigma around menopause and have committed themselves to the relevant training (through Menopause Expert Group) so they can help educate women (and men!) to give them the confidence to understand menopause, seek the relevant advice/support and most importantly, not feel alone.

The session was very informative and covered a lot of detail regarding the physical and the emotional symptoms with many colleagues able to resonate with the content which in turn made them feel they were not alone giving them the opportunity to ask questions and discuss as a group. Mo delivered the session with humor and warmth and turned what can be a clinical and embarrassing topic for some into a topic that can be spoken about with ease.

“Engaging, informative, empowering”  Summarises the feedback from our global team after the excellent Menopause conversations and training from Saorsa.  We in C&R Software believe this subject, like many other once difficult conversations, are essential in our places of work”

A Huge Thank You to Saorsa Menopause Consultancy!

We were thrilled to have SAORSA Menopause Consultancy join us last Friday for an eye-opening and informative session on the effects of menopause. Our team found the session incredibly valuable, and we now have excellent resources to use moving forward. Thanks to this successful session, we're excited to explore how we can extend this knowledge to women in our safe accommodation, peer groups, and across Inverclyde.
