Straight answers for the whole house.

What is Wellness Academy?

The house for Antonela Maria Butuc’s work. Two doors: The Midlife Method for women, Midlife @ Work for Irish employers. Metoda Midlife is the same work in Romanian.

Is this medical treatment?

No. Wellbeing education and coaching. We never diagnose, prescribe, or advise on starting or stopping MHT (often still called HRT). Those decisions belong with you and your doctor.

Does stress cause perimenopause?

What is Horizon?

The life-design door inside the same brand — six rooms (body, mind, work, time, people, meaning) and four seasons (Standard, Empty House, Diaspora, Capacity-first). Room 1 is free. A January page, not a second company. next.wellnessacademy.ie

Is there a book?

Coming Home is on the way. There is no invented date. The letters list hears first. Romanian edition: Întoarcerea acasă, către tine — O călătorie spre liniște și regăsirea de sine.

What does it cost?

The two-minute reading and Horizon Room 1 are free. Current prices are listed on each portal: The Midlife Method for women, Midlife @ Work for employers, Metoda Midlife in Romanian, and Horizon for the map. Write if you need the right door named.

What is Academy Studio?

Is HRT free in Ireland now?

Since 1 June 2025, HRT prescribed for menopause can be free at participating pharmacies if you have a medical card or a Drugs Payment Scheme card. That is a GP decision and a State scheme — we do not prescribe. Read the map: free HRT in Ireland and the ten-minute visit.

Does Ireland have a menopause workplace law?
