The Midlife Health Shift
uncovering the complexities of menopause through awareness, insights and community
October 26th, 2025

There are more than 10 million women in Canada over the age of 40 — that’s one-quarter of the population.
Yet navigating women’s health at midlife remains confusing, overlooked, and often unsupported.
At Cultivating Wellness, we believe that accessing accurate information and meaningful care should not be complicated.
We also recognize that health is shaped not only by personal choices, but by the systems we live and work within.
That’s why we focus on what we can influence — creating supportive environments, informed communities, and holistic strategies that empower women to thrive.
Whether you're an individual seeking clarity or an organization ready to lead change, we’re here to help you cultivate wellness at every level.

The Cultivating Wellness event was great. It was just the break I needed from my daily life to connect, both with my own body and wonderful community of women. The content, presenters and the food were all amazing! I would highly recommend these events to anyone, regardless of where you are at in your wellness journey.

The Mindful Woman event was a wonderful retreat from my busy life. I brought four of my closest friends to join me. We all agreed that the event inspired us to make changes to our health. I found the information relative to stress reduction and better sleep helpful.
I enjoyed meeting other like-minded women and thought the speakers and movement practices were excellent. The lunch was a definite highlight! I can't wait for the next one!
