Women's Health Matters!
Women's health is often underrepresented, ignored and sometimes considered taboo - I'm aiming to break the silence and spread knowledge to empower women with confidence.
This course offers evidence based information and practical advice about many areas of women's health that are vital for performance and enjoyment on mountain adventures.
