Empower your practice. Transform your care. Because every body deserves affirming menopause care.
Trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people experience menopause too—but most healthcare providers aren’t trained to meet their needs. The Gender-Affirming Menopause Care Certification Course is a first-of-its-kind professional training designed to close that gap.
Developed and facilitated by Lasara Firefox Allen, MSW, the Genderqueer Menopause Coach—Certified Menopause Doula and Coach, menopause educator, and author of Genderqueer Menopause (North Atlantic Books, 2026)—this comprehensive course equips providers with the clinical knowledge, cultural fluency, and trauma-informed tools required to deliver affirming menopause care to gender-diverse patients.
Who the Gender-Affirming Menopause Certification Course is for:
This training is built for healthcare providers, doulas, menopause coaches, and wellness practitioners who work with individuals in or around the menopause transition—including those who experience menopause through natural ovarian aging, surgical intervention, or chemical suppression/induction. Whether you’re a nurse practitioner, OB-GYN, therapist, acupuncturist, or health coach, this course will help you expand your skills, build confidence, and deepen your practice.

Why this training matters:
Research shows that gender-diverse people often delay or avoid care due to previous medical trauma, misgendering, and lack of provider knowledge. Menopause is a key life stage where this care gap becomes especially visible—and especially harmful. This certification not only supports your professional growth, but also plays a crucial role in dismantling gatekeeping and expanding access to life-affirming, identity-honoring care.
Join a growing network of certified providers changing the standard of care.
We believe every body deserves informed, respectful, and empowering menopause care—no matter their gender, history, or hormonal pathway. If you’re ready to meet that call, you’re in the right place.
