What people say about our courses
I loved the course so much. I enjoyed the science and the humour, I trusted the information and wellbeing practices that were shared, based on science, but explained in a way that makes sense.
The trainers are knowledgeable, caring and compassionate, they have lived experience which they share with us, helping to build trust, and enables you as a participant to be open and honest with yourself and everyone.
Supportive environment Calming and accepting teachers Online using Zoom after work fitted my busy schedule.
I wanted to thank you SO very much for all the work you do at IMPACT and for us individuals
I have more confidence in meditation and breath work, giving each type a fair chance
I love everything about the course. The facilitators are simply the best, always. The teaching is clear and uncomplicated, therefore easily accessible even if not previously in a good frame of mind.
It was good to know that everyone is in the same boat, the facilitators are so friendly and don’t take everything seriously, there’s lots of laughs and they make you feel comfortable.
I felt having a number of team members on the course worked well as it helped with the discussions and it made it feel less formal as there was humour too!
The shared materials and contact links are useful and the Central Beds Employment and Skills talk at the end of the course was very informative too.
I was a bit nervous about going online but the teachers were so welcoming and made sure we all felt relaxed.
The online access to all of the course information taught in the account was really helpful and the Impact team were very supportive.
I really liked the mixture of having a reference book to physically read as well as the online modules.

- Home life & pressures
- Work pressures & responsibilities
- Loss & bereavement
- Relationship difficulties

Unlocking the taboo, myths and negativity around Menopause really can help you to regain focus, embrace hope and start enjoying life in a new way!
We know that many women who are struggling to manage symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are often juggling working full time, caring for families as well as trying to navigate the overwhelming changes happening to our bodies.

For those of you who just can’t manage each of the six sessions, we have self-study options in addition to online one-to-one support to help ensure you gain a full understanding of what you can do to begin managing menopausal symptoms, changing the ‘negative’ towards menopause and learning how to embrace and enjoy this time in your life.

Who Are Impact?
At Impact, we all have personal experiences and understanding of how overwhelming it can feel not knowing where to turn for help, especially when it feels like no one understands the struggles and challenges of everyday simple tasks caused by a never ending stream of menopausal symptoms that can significantly impact on our coping abilities.
We are women who have or who are experiencing change brought about from Menopause.
Add our personal experience of menopause and previous mental ill health to our professional experience in teaching, education, mental wellbeing, mindfulness and lifestyle change, and we believe this course will provide you with an opportunity to safely share your experiences, discuss and learn from us what practices can help you to manage symptoms, as well as rebuilding your ability to cope with the menopausal transition.
Do not become alarmed when you experience yourself in totally new ways,” sighs Grandmother Growth tenderly.
“You are changing, getting ready to be initiated into the third stage of your life.
Are you ready for the ride of your life?
