Menopause Care Training for Gender-Affirming Providers

Menopause Education with Science + Soul

Menopause education
that affirms the gender-
expansive body and experience.

Under guidance and leadership from Lasara Firefox Allen, MSW, author of the bestselling Genderqueer Menopause, Genderqueer Futures trains clinicians, coaches, and care teams to deliver menopause care that centers trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people — and offers that same affirming care directly, for those living the transition now.

Two paths, one practice

Who is this menopause care for?

For providers & teams

Stop failing your gender-expansive clients.

Become the provider your gender-expansive clients actually trust with this menopause transition.

Right now, one hesitant question or wrong assumption is enough to lose a patient’s trust, and too often, there’s nowhere to send them next for affirming care. Lasara Firefox Allen’s GAMC certification course and provider coaching close that gap, delivering frameworks mainstream training programs never get close to covering, so your practice becomes the one people are relieved to find.

  • Walk into every intake knowing the right questions to ask
  • Become the name colleagues say when they don’t know what else to do
  • Build the kind of trust that turns one client into a referral pipeline

In their words

What menopause care clients and providers say

It’s clear that Lasara has put a lot of thought into making this course immediately actionable while creating a container that feels safe and non-judgmental, regardless of your starting point.

Vanessa Weiland, NP, MSCPNurse Practitioner, MSCP

This course opened my heart and my mind to relate deeply to the struggles of gender-expansive people. Gender-affirming menopause care is menopause care, period.

Roisin McGlynnCoach & Yoga Teacher

Lasara’s flexibility, willingness to engage in hard conversations, and sincere desire to see everyone thrive are the qualities of a truly excellent teacher.

Dr. Sarah GlascoAuthor & Speaker, Co-host of ADHD Peri Punks

I’m expanding the inclusivity of the language I use for our bodies and gender-affirming care as trans people. I carry forward the affirmation that our transformations are as infinite as we are.

Amadore Figueroa PalmerPublic Health Specialist & Health Equity Activist

This session provided validation for a queer body experiencing a multitude of symptoms and a lack of understanding. It was one of the first times I felt heard and understood.

Coaching clientDoula session

I didn’t think I needed menopause support yet. I left the session with real insight into symptoms no one had named for me before, and a plan I could actually use.

“Lasara’s Gender-Affirming Menopause Care certification course has been genuinely transformative for me—one of the most impactful learning experiences I’ve had in my career. Before this training, I was aware of gaps in access and inclusivity, but I hadn’t fully grasped how much everyday clinical language, assumptions, and systems contribute to those inequities. The course has completely shifted my perspective.”
