About Us
Rashi Gandhi Sriram
Founder Pauseforward
It started as a personal quest to help my sisters who were going through menopause not very long back.
Their anguish and my inability to help them led me to conduct a survey amongst 120 women who had been through this phase of transition The goal was to learn how women were dealing with menopause and its symptoms. Instead, we learned that women weren’t well supported , not much heed was paid to the signs of transition, and even if they did share with their doctor, it was only about symptom management .Understanding the underlying condition and suggesting an integrated plan to deal with the physical, mental and emotional aspects of Menopause was not on anyone's radar.
Very obviously women wanted to be understood and supported. And Pauseforward was thus born.
We have your back so don't pause
Pauseforward …is the new a modern approach to menopause: we are an online support platform to help women through the transition to menopause. Our approach to menopause wellness begins with a complete understanding of the stage and symptoms of menopause being experienced. We recognise that no two women have an identical menopause experience and therefore we connect them with the experts, and to a large community of women to share their experiences and gain perspectives. With a vision to empower women with knowledge, we also host high impact expert led webinars, expert -vetted articles and education materials.
We give you a safe and secure platform where you are connected with doctors, lifestyle coaches, ayurvedic experts, psychologists and many more who are qualified to support you so you can have a healthier, happier menopause.
Finally, women have a place to learn about solutions, get recommendations and most importantly empathy.
You can book virtual appointments with OB/GYNs who can diagnose and prescribe. Further to this, enrolment in our menopause wellness program will ensure access to certified Mental health experts & also health coaches to best recommend lifestyle behavior change for managing weight, sleepless nights, anxiety and depression.
We empower women to navigate this normal but challenging phase of life.
It's all about understanding a woman's individual state of health, connecting her to the experts , to the support that she needs in a personalized manner, quickly, and with greater compassion.
