Yoga Therapist to Certified Menopause Coach: Delilah’s Authentic Approach to Menopause

In today’s episode, Lauren Chiren sits down with Delilah, a Dutch-born Yoga Therapist who reinvented her career after a dismissive doctor’s appointment sparked a decade-long self-study into perimenopause symptoms. Fueled by her own journey, from “mistreated” patient to intuitive menopause guide, Delilah discovered the need for a structured, heart-led approach to supporting women through hormonal transitions. After piloting her own stress-reduction courses, she joined the Women of a Certain Stage Certified Menopause Coach Diploma to gain the coaching tools and business know-how needed to serve women in the workplace and beyond. Delilah shares how she weaves together menopause coaching, mind-body techniques and lifestyle interventions into every one-on-one consultation and workshop. She reveals her top strategies for launching yourself as a menopause coach, from crafting irresistible outreach emails to leveraging a small-group pilot to build credibility. If you’re ready to turn your passion for menopause support into a thriving practice, while staying true to your own authentic style, this episode is packed with insights to get you started. Key TakeawaysFrom Personal Pain to Professional Purpose: Use your own menopause story to fuel credibility and empathy in your coaching practice.Blend Intuition & Structure: Anchor your heart-led coaching in a proven framework (the 7-week “Menopause Plan”) while adapting it with your unique expertise.Master Your Outreach Machine: Commit to a weekly cadence of tailored emails, opening with a low-commitment resource (PDF or mini-guide) to spark conversations.Build Supportive Networks: Leverage an international cohort, alumni WhatsApp groups and 12-month post-diploma coaching calls to stay accountable and inspired.Position Your Niche: Highlight your special blend - yoga therapy, hormone wisdom and certified coaching - to stand out in an evolving menopause training market. [00:01:16] Misguided menopause treatment experiences.[00:07:43] Menopause coaching as a niche.[00:10:11] International connections in coaching.[00:14:35] Coaching and listening skills.[00:19:31] Menopause coaching in corporate settings.[00:23:26] Menopause awareness in the workplace.[00:25:20] Menopause coaching in organizations.[00:30:51] Cold emailing strategies for coaches.[00:33:49] Building relationships for business success.[00:36:15] Authenticity in personal journeys.[00:40:38] Authenticity in coaching.Ready to Launch Your Menopause Coaching Practice? Visit www.womenofacertainstage.com to learn how our CPD certified Menopause Coach Diploma can equip you to deliver transformative menopause talks, training, toolkits and champion networks - plus book your free strategy call 👉 https://bookme.name/womenofacertainstage/pod
