From Corporate to Coaching: Menopause Mastery with Deon Hall-Garriques

What happens when a senior corporate leader steps into the wellness space — and transforms menopause into a mission?

In this episode of Women of a Certain Stage, I’m joined by Deon Hall-Garriques, a seasoned CPA, corporate executive, and now certified menopause coach and holistic health advocate. Her journey is a testament to reinvention, resilience, and the power of aligning purpose with expertise.

Balancing Boardrooms and Hormones

Deon spent over 25 years thriving in corporate America. But behind the leadership roles and number-crunching, she faced her own challenging menopause transition — one that left her searching for answers.

Already trained as a holistic health coach, Deon noticed a pattern: her clients were coming to her with menopausal concerns she couldn’t fully answer. That’s when she found the Menopause Coach Diploma — and everything changed.

“It gave me exactly what I’d been searching for — the depth, the science, the structure, and the confidence to support women through one of the most misunderstood phases of their life.”

Credentials That Convert Into Impact

For Deon, the diploma wasn’t just about learning — it was about equipping herself to lead with credibility.

She highlighted two standout aspects:

• A structured, evidence-based coaching framework

• A global, like-minded community of professional women These tools gave her the clarity and confidence to build her own coaching offers and step fully into this next chapter.

The Menno Mastery Mission

Since completing her certification, Deon has launched two signature programs:

• The Menno Jump Start Plan: Designed for women who want immediate, practical tools for navigating menopause

• The Menno Mastery Plan: A deeper journey for professional women ready to reclaim their energy, balance, and confidence

Her mission? To support women 40+ in showing up vibrantly in their work, relationships, and leadership roles — without burning out or giving in to outdated narratives.

Reinvention After 40: A Blueprint for Midlife Momentum

Deon’s story is proof that:

• You don’t have to choose between career and passion

• You can blend corporate credibility with coaching compassion

• And when done right, menopause coaching is both fulfilling and financially smart

She’s now mentoring women across industries — showing them that midlife isn’t the end of the story. It’s the most powerful chapter yet.
