Seen, Heard, and Cared For: Making Women+ Health Inclusive

Why so many women+ feel dismissed in perimenopause care, and what inclusive, whole-person care actually looks like.

Monday 23 November · 09:00–10:30 CET

Seen, Heard, and Cared For is for women+ who have been told their results look normal while their body is telling a different story. Many women+ move through perimenopause without anyone naming what is happening, and women+ from marginalised backgrounds get dismissed even more often.

In this session we will look at what inclusive, whole-person care means in practice, and how to advocate for yourself inside a system that was not built with you in mind. Nothing to prepare: bring a notebook and your questions.

The Gut Feeling

The Science Behind the Gut–Brain Connection

Wednesday 25 November · 10:00–11:30 CET

The gut and brain are constantly communicating with each other, and what happens in one can affect the other. The trillions of microorganisms living in our digestive system, the gut microbiome, talk to the brain through the nervous system, hormones and immune system, and can influence how we respond to stress, our mood and even how we think and concentrate.

This lecture explores the fascinating connection between gut health and brain health, how nutrition and lifestyle can influence it, and what the latest scientific research tells us.

Beyond the Silence

The unspoken impact of sexual trauma

Friday 27 November · 10:00–11:30 CET

For women+ who have experienced unwanted sexual attention, boundary violations, sexual abuse, incest or sexual violence, even if you have never called it trauma. Perhaps you question whether it was “serious enough,” struggle with boundaries or intimacy, or feel disconnected from yourself.

We’ll explore how sexual trauma can disrupt our foundations of safety, what can happen internally when boundaries are crossed, how survival responses can leave us feeling divided within, and the importance of a collective “no” to sexual harm. No preparation or personal disclosure is required.
