Aline delivers the menopause support of the CIC. After lived experience of the menopause, Aline has become an advocate as to how each woman can empower herself early to be prepared for her peri and post menopause life and how industry can transform their workplace as an enabler of a smooth menopausal transition through action. Sarah and Aline offer an approach that is pragmatic, compassionate and tailored to your needs. Your challenges will be addressed in a sustainable way.
