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