Menopause can be one of the most challenging times in a woman's career.


It doesn't have to be.

Hi, I'm Torild, founder of Pause Effect.

I help organizations create workplaces where women 40+ can thrive and stay at the top of their game through every stage of menopause. I also coach women one-to-one with practical tools to reclaim energy, clarity, and confidence.

Menopause matters for organizational success and personal well-being.
1 in 10 women leave their jobs due to unmanaged menopause symptoms (Fawcett Society). In the UK alone, businesses lose £1.5 billion every year from absenteeism and turnover linked to menopause.
From 2027, UK employers with 250 or more staff must publish equality action plans that include menopause support as part of closing the gender pay gap.
 
Symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and sleep disruption can affect health, relationships, and career progress, but with the right support, women can feel focused and powerful again.
My work blends awareness and action to create workplaces that retain women and nurture a strong sense of self, ensuring every stage of a woman’s career is valued and supported.

Hi, I'm Torild, 

Drawing on extensive experience in the maritime sector, I understand how complex corporate cultures operate.

I am a mother of three, IPEC-accredited coach, yoga teacher, and CPD-accredited Menopause Coach.
I experienced perimenopause while raising young children, running a demanding career whilst going through separation and divorce - which inspired me to create practical, science-based programmes so women and the companies they power can thrive.
