Meet Aimee, Menovate's Founder

Many companies lose valuable employees during menopause, often unaware of the impact it can have on women’s performance and well-being.

Founder and certified Menopause Coach Aimee Debow, who has over 25 years of corporate experience, knows this struggle firsthand.

I struggled at work with exhaustion, brain fog and severe joint pain, but I felt unable to share this with my boss or HR. I knew that with support, I could continue to be a great employee. Now that I have the skills, education and medical support to navigate this transition, I am so much stronger: mind, bones, muscles and life! I am passionate about sharing what I have journeyed and learned. – Aimee

As a seasoned business leader and inclusion advocate, Aimee works with organizations to build awareness and allyship, advocate, and train leaders and HR professionals on how to support employees through this pivotal life stage. By creating menopause-inclusive workplaces, employers foster engagement, improve retention, and cultivate a culture of psychological safety and inclusivity.

Kind Words From Clients

This is a quick note of thanks for the very interesting and informative presentation last week about menopause. It’s so refreshing to see that you’re advocating in this area and addressing something that has never been discussed and often overlooked. Having spoken to my clients after the event, I know that each was very impressed and, more importantly, greatly benefited.

– John Sacke, CIM® | Investment Advisor | Portfolio Manager, BMO Wealth Management, Nesbitt Burns

As a woman on the verge of 40, perimenopause has recently entered the realm of possibility as an explanation for so many symptoms I’m experiencing physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Aimee‘s talk at a recent WCT event really resonated with me and what I’m going through. I held back tears (in a good way) as she educated us on what is happening in our bodies, and the impact it has on every facet of our lives. I’m so grateful to meet someone who has taken the time to research and understand menopause, and is a real advocate for changing the way society perceives and treats women as they enter this phase. Thank you so much, Aimee! It was a very insightful and informative presentation. I really appreciated hearing your perspective on a topic that is definitely not discussed enough. Thank you so much!
– Sandra Starr, VP Strategic Projects, Corporatek

For me, this is a lot of information that I have had to gather for myself, but certainly would have been grateful to have had a session like this before I had started experiencing symptoms it may have taken me less time to figure out what was going on so that I could then get the right treatment with my doctor.

It’s also very helpful to have these specific suggestions about what could be available at work if it did provide benefits or flexibility—sometimes, it’s knowing what you can ask for.

– Anonymous Member from ISC event

An incredibly informative discussion, raising awareness at all levels. It’s great to see organizations starting the necessary conversations and furthering investment in well-being.

– Droven Talamor, Talent Acquisition, Zurich

It was such a great talk and really resonated with me. I definitely held back tears a few times—in a good way!

– Melissa Bryanton, Loopio

As a former leader of a mid-sized company, I was frustrated by the lack of conversation about menopause and how it impacted employees. As a perimenopausal woman, I felt unsupported, even in leadership, and struggled to balance my symptoms with my career. Ultimately, I resigned, feeling like I wasn’t good enough. Working with Aimee has given me the knowledge and tools to advocate for others going through the same challenges. She’s taught me how to identify when someone needs support, even if they don’t speak up. Menovate is a must for any company with more than one employee.
