understanding your hormones and health, at home and at work
Women's health goes through different phases – from menstruation and fertility to menopause. Hormonal changes can affect how a woman feels and functions, both at home and at work. Perimenopause is an important and often intense period.
By offering openness and appropriate support, women stay healthy, motivated and able to work – a gain for themselves, their organization and society.
Dokter Marel offers scientific knowledge and care in this area. With interactive workshops and information sessions, I open up the conversation and provide practical tools!
what is perimenopause?
Perimenopause is a natural phase of life that can significantly affect daily functioning – sometimes with mild symptoms, sometimes with serious health problems. Around 80% of working women over 40 find that menopausal symptoms make their work more difficult. Less than half discuss this in the workplace.

About Dokter Marel
My name is Jacolien van der Marel. I am a gynecologist and I help women and organizations deal better with the impact of women's health issues such as perimenopause.
Every day, I see how these issues affect women's functioning, well-being and job satisfaction. With reliable, evidence-based knowledge and practical tools, I help make them open to discussion. This gives women more control over their health and well-being, and gives organizations more insight into sustainable employability.
My mission: breaking taboos and working together on vitality and understanding, at home and in the workplace.
