Completing the Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification with Girls Gone Strong has been one of the most empowering and insightful experiences of my professional career. With over 36 years in the spa and wellness industry and 38 years in fitness and dance, I’ve taken many advanced trainings—but this program truly stands out. It’s exceptionally well-researched, inclusive, and deeply supportive of both coaches and the women we serve. The course goes far beyond physiology—it integrates mindset, lifestyle, nutrition, movement, and compassionate communication. It gave me the tools and confidence to better understand the physical and emotional transitions women experience through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. I now feel even more equipped to support my clients with knowledge, empathy, and evidence-based strategies that help them thrive, not just survive, this stage of life. — Dorri L. Bland
