The Academy · Available now
For perimenopause and menopause
The conversation most medical settings still do not have.
By the time most women realise their intimacy has changed, the change has been quietly building for years, and nobody has explained any of it. This is the course that does.

If you are here, you already know
Nobody told you this part was coming.
It hurts now, and I do not know when that started.
I raised it once and the appointment lasted four minutes.
I do not want it, and I am not sure whether that is a relief.
My partner has stopped asking.
I am wondering whether this is simply who I am now.
It is not. What is missing is not willpower or hormones. It is that nobody ever explained how this part of your body works, and then what changes when oestrogen leaves.
What this course is
Evidence informed, and specific to this stage.
Eight modules on intimacy through perimenopause, menopause and beyond. What is actually changing in your body, what the current research supports, and what to do about comfort, desire, pain and pleasure.
By the end you will have
- A clear picture of what is changing, and why it is not a personal failing.
- Practical answers on dryness, irritation and everyday comfort.
- A way of understanding desire that fits how it actually works after 40.
- Language for the conversations with a partner and with a clinician.
- A sexual wellbeing plan you built yourself, rather than one handed to you.
What it is not
- Not a hormone replacement decision. It covers what is treatable medically and how to raise it properly, then sends you to your doctor better prepared.
- Not therapy. Education, from an educator rather than a clinician.
- Not a cohort. No calls, no group, no schedule to keep up with. Entirely private.
- Not about performance. Nothing here assumes what your sexuality should look like.
Course content
Eight modules, forty three lessons.
In the order the questions actually arrive.
Understanding your changing body
Where you are, what oestrogen was doing, and why this one does not resolve on its own.
Desire in midlife
Responsive versus spontaneous, what the evidence says about testosterone, and desire discrepancy.
Dryness, irritation and everyday comfort
Lubricants, moisturisers, local oestrogen, vulval skin care, and urinary symptoms.
When sex is uncomfortable or painful
The pain map, the pelvic floor, and breaking the guarding loop.
Pleasure that fits this stage of life
Retiring the performance model, designing for slower arousal, and devices.
Communication and relationships
Naming it without blame, partners have changes too, and being taken seriously by a clinician.
Hormones, treatments and informed choices
Local versus systemic, what changed in 2025, non hormonal options, and following the evidence.
Your personal sexual wellbeing plan
The check in, building it, reviewing it, and where to go next.
How it works
Private, self paced, and yours permanently.
Short lessons you can take at whatever pace suits a real week. There is nothing to attend, nothing that expires, and nothing visible to anyone else.

Would you rather not do it alone?
Some people want the material and nothing else. Others want a room of women going through the same thing. Both are available, at the same price.
The Shift Method, also $297
Eight weeks rather than self paced, with one live call a week, a printed workbook posted to you, and twelve months in The Shift Circle. Founding cohort opens 1 October 2026, and founding pricing is locked for life.
- Choose this course if you want to move at your own pace, privately, with nothing to attend.
- Choose The Shift Method if the accountability and the company are the thing that will get you through it.

Before you enrol
The questions women ask quietly.
Is this instead of hormone therapy?
No. The course covers what is treatable medically and how to raise it properly, so several people finish a module or two and go back to their doctor better prepared. It sits alongside medical care rather than replacing it.
Do I need a partner?
No. The course is written for you and your own body first. The relationship material is there if you want it and skippable if you do not.
Am I too late for this?
No. The course covers perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, and the comfort and pleasure material applies at every one of those stages. Nothing in it assumes you started early.
How private is it?
Entirely. No calls, no cohort, no group, and nothing visible to anyone else. If you want the company, The Shift Method is the version with a room in it.
How much time does it take?
Forty three lessons, taken at whatever pace suits you. Nothing unlocks on a schedule and nothing expires, so a fortnight off does not cost you anything.
Is this therapy?
No. It is education, delivered by an educator rather than a clinician. Hope is not a therapist or a medical professional. If you are in crisis or need clinical support, please seek that first.
Educational, not clinical. This course does not diagnose or treat any medical condition and is not a substitute for advice from your doctor. Questions before you enrol are welcome at hello@schoolofsexualwellness.com.
Peri/menopause and intimacy
This part of your life is not over.
It has changed, and nobody explained the change. That is a knowledge problem, and it is solvable.
