The Menopause OT
The Menopause OT provides evidence-based workplace menopause training for organizations and one-on-one coaching for individuals navigating perimenopause and menopause. Founded by Julie Parana, MS, OTR/L, a licensed Occupational Therapist, Certified Women's Health Specialist, and Certified Menopause Coach with over 20 years of clinical experience, Julie's OT background gives her a whole-person lens: she doesn't just look at symptoms, she looks at how menopause affects daily roles, routines, relationships, and work performance.
Despite affecting every woman at some point in her life, menopause remains largely unaddressed in workplace wellness strategies. Many women don't recognize that symptoms like brain fog, sleep disruption, fatigue, and anxiety are directly tied to hormonal changes, and without that context, performance suffers silently. Research estimates $1.8 billion in U.S. workdays are lost annually as a result, and 1 in 10 women leave the workforce entirely due to unmanaged symptoms.
The Menopause OT's workplace training equips employees with the knowledge to understand and manage their symptoms, and gives leaders the tools to respond with confidence and compassion. With Philadelphia adding menopause to its anti-discrimination protections on January 1, 2027, organizations that invest in education now will be better positioned culturally, operationally, and legally.
