Hello, my name is Dr. (h.c.) Marva Williams, and I am a menopause counsellor, wellness educator, and the founder of Shhh... Menopause Wellness. I've joined forces with two phenomenal women Donna Spence and Andrea Malcolm, to bring you this incredibly important and long-overdue survey.


In 2019, I came terrifyingly close to losing my life due to undiagnosed perimenopausal symptoms. I couldn’t walk, I was in excruciating pain, and no one had answers. 


Like so many women of colour, I was unheard, misdiagnosed, and left to suffer in silence. That experience broke me - but it also rebuilt my purpose.


It was the turning point that led me to dedicate my life to supporting women through menopause through educating them. I knew I wasn’t the only one and I refused to let more of us fall through the cracks.


That’s why this survey matters. This is a space for women to share their truth. We want to hear about your symptoms, the support (or lack of it) you’ve received, the cultural stigma you may face, and how menopause has affected your health, career and confidence.


Our voices have been missing from the data for far too long and that ends now.


The results from this survey will be presented at a menopause event in October, where we'll shine a spotlight on our experiences and call for real, systemic change. Your input will help shape inclusive workplace policies, better healthcare practices, and stronger community support.


The survey takes just 5–7 minutes and is completely confidential.


Thank you for being part of this movement. Your story matters. Your health matters. And together, we are breaking the silence and reclaiming our power. 

With love and purpose,

Dr. (h.c.) Marva Williams
