Our Story
We’re on a mission to inspire women to “cruise” the Menowave with grace, gratitude, confidence and ease.
It all started in 2013 when, out of her own need, Gwen Harris formed the Menopause Support Group on Facebook. The group organically grew to 11,000 members by 2018. Intending to be trendsetters in starting the conversation about menopause, Good Morning America featured the group on their show. As a wellness coach for women in transition, Tina McDermott reached out to join Gwen on her mission.
The Menopause Support Group now spans the globe to well over 100,000 members in 120 countries. Based on our research and recognizing the critical needs that women face during this transition, Menowave was born.
Menowave is an online integrated care model for women in menopause. Our care providers offers coaching and support to women all around the world facing mental, physical and emotional symptoms of menopause. We listen closely to your story knowing every women is unique. Our FREE Menopause Assessment allows our care providers to map out a personalized care model specific to your individual needs.
