Menstrual health · Menopause · Neurodiversity and hormones

build a workplace where women's health isn't an afterthought.

Managers who know what to say, people who know where to go, and evidence that something changed.

Women's health at work is moving quickly. It's in the press, it's in the guidance, and it's in what your people now expect. Get ahead of it rather than react to it.

I'm Lucy. I train managers and teams, for organisations that know this matters and don't know where to begin. Start with one workshop, and we can build from there.

Ways to work together

start with one workshop

Most organisations start with a single session, because it's one date in the diary and you get to see how I am in a room with your people first. Once we've worked together, you can build on it in whatever way suits your people.

About

hi, i'm Lucy

I've spent years inside high-pressure, target-driven office environments, so I know exactly how this issue looks from the employer's side: it doesn't look like anything. It looks like a normal Tuesday, a vague sick day, a strong performer who's suddenly "not quite promotion-ready". I also know what it looks like from the other side, because I lived it. Weeks of feeling sharp and on top of everything, then weeks of working twice as hard for half the result, without understanding why.

When I finally understood what my hormones were doing to my energy, focus and mood, I could do something about it. That's the shift I now build inside organisations: turning something your people are already quietly managing into something your business can see, measure and support.

Menstrual health is where I started and where most of my delivery has been. It's the part of women's health that touches the most people for the longest stretch of their working lives, and it's the part organisations are least likely to have covered. I also run menopause and neurodiversity modules, because the questions never stay in one box. But cycle health is the work I know best, and it's the work I'd always rather be doing.

Where I'm different: the hard part of this has never been the biology. The clinical facts are published and quotable, and I quote them with their sources. What can't be looked up is what to say when someone sits down and starts explaining why they've been struggling for months, and what happens next in your organisation when they do. That's the part I train, and it's where this goes well or badly.

Qualifications & experience
✓ Level 5 Coaching Professional A 14-month professional coaching qualification, assessed on observed coaching sessions rather than essays alone. The qualification itself is recognised by the Association for Coaching, the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and the International Coaching Federation.
✓ Level 6 Graduate Certificate in Humanistic & Psychodynamic Counselling Goldsmiths, University of London. This is where the conversation skills come from: how to sit with something difficult, listen properly, and respond without rushing to fix it.
✓ Master Female Trainer, Women's Fitness Academy (in progress) I'm studying towards this one now, so it isn't finished yet. It's an evidence-based study of female physiology across the whole lifecycle: the menstrual cycle, PCOS, endometriosis and PMDD, thyroid function, pregnancy and the post-natal return, perimenopause through post-menopause, and how ADHD presents in women. It deepens the physiology I already teach rather than being the basis of it.
✓ 3 years coaching adults with ADHD, autism and mental health conditions First in university student wellbeing, then coaching remotely across the UK, up to five sessions a day to a structured, solution-focused framework. A lot of practice at helping someone turn a barrier into a strategy that actually fits their life.

Why I do this

Women spend most of a working life around a body nobody ever explained to them, and most organisations only get to any of it at menopause, which is about thirty years late. My work is to make women's health something an organisation can see, talk about and act on, and to leave the people there able to handle it without me.

A recent lunch and learn session, delivered in person.

"It was a brilliant lunch and learn session for our team. Really engaging, informative and full of practical takeaways, and I'd absolutely recommend it. Lucy clearly has a huge amount of knowledge, but she explains everything in such an easy, relatable way that makes it really simple to digest and learn from."
Emma Burton Head of Operations & People
"Lucy gave us valuable insights around the menstrual cycle, hormonal wellbeing, and the impact these can have on energy levels, focus and the demands of our work culture. What made it especially valuable was that it was relevant not only for people with a menstrual cycle, but for colleagues, partners, friends and parents."
Daniela People & Culture Manager
"It was hugely beneficial as a guy to be there and understand what my colleagues are going through. Since the talk, I've noticed women being more honest about it, and it'll definitely impact the business positively. Highly recommend."
Steven Partnerships Executive
"Such an insightful and useful talk, which every company should have. Everything was explained so well and clearly, and I'm really excited to start taking on board all the great tips."
Sofia Partnerships Executive
"It was great to understand the mood changes and the hormonal facts, and how to adapt your month to your cycle. Once you understand yourself better, you can only improve. These are simple changes you can do, and they'll make a massive difference."
Laetitia Jourdan Architecture & Interior Photographer
"It's great to understand how colleagues might be affected by normal bodily processes throughout the month. It will definitely make me more considerate of colleagues' feelings and workloads when I'm asking for help."

what we are, and what we're not

Luella Learning is a specialist training provider. We deliver interactive workshops and the anonymised data framework that evidences their impact. We do not conduct compliance audits, provide legal advice, or draft or amend workplace policies or handbooks, and no training provider can guarantee a legal or regulatory outcome.

Responsibility for compliance, including anything you choose to publish in an Equality Action Plan, remains with your organisation and its legal counsel. If you are publishing one, the impact report is evidence you can use within it. But it's training evidence, not compliance sign-off, and we'd never present it as more than that.

For the women you'd hate to lose

let's find the right first step for your people
