Our Mission
A global education platform dedicated to transforming how menstrual health is understood and supported in clinical, coaching, and community settings.
We aim to provide women's health practitioners with comprehensive, evidence-based continuing education, centered around the menstrual cycle, women's hormone health and physiology, including the intricacies of the menstrual life cycle, the evidence-based benefits of regular ovulation, and conditions such as PMOS (formerly PCOS), amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea and endometriosis.
Data-Driven Educational Content
IMH specializes in comprehensive, science-backed training. We are committed to providing up-to-date literature, peer reviewed studies and real world case studies in the fields of hormone and menstrual health.
FOR Women BY Women
In a system where the optimal health of a woman is still often dismissed, we're committed to giving all women integrative, holistic health tools and body literacy. Our female-led faculty and advisory board of medical experts provide extensive resources and proactive support so that female practitioners and the communities they serve can thrive and live fulfilling, abundant lives.
Diverse International Community
We value connection and collaboration. The IMH community consists of trusted voices in women's health from around the globe. Our extensive network of professionals allows practitioners to meet and collaborate with their peers, gain new and diverse perspectives and insights, expand their business/practice and ultimately serve more people.
“Our mission is to give women's health practitioners and coaches from around the globe the evidence-based information necessary to support the health of women and all menstruating people.”

“This course has changed my life. There's nothing more empowering than really knowing what's going on with your body and your cycle, let alone being able to then help other women understand their own! I really appreciated being taught by a wide variety of specialists, from doctors and health coaches to nutritionists and more. The case study calls were particularly useful as they helped to put the learning into the context of current issues. Nicole is a brilliant teacher and even shared guidance on setting up and running a business, which I hugely valued.”
🇬🇧 — Allison Guppy
Women's Health Practitioner & Founder of Your Settled Space
“I went through a formal coaching program that focused on the psychology of coaching and how to be a good coach given the person sitting in front of you, but what it didn't give me was the level of detail and education around women's health and hormones that I so desperately needed and wanted. Not only was this course's content extremely detailed and full of resources and citations for women's health, but there was additional supportive content for building your own business and everything in between. No stone has been left unturned, and if you find one that is, it surely will be turned! I was so supported and Nicole has built such an amazing container to expand within and beyond.”
