The name “Sattva,” derived from Sanskrit, reflects the core mission of the collective—fostering clarity, balance, and inner peace
In a groundbreaking move set to reshape the conversation around women’s health, a new community-led initiative is making waves across the UK. The Sattva Collective, a newly registered Community Interest Company (CIC), has officially launched to provide culturally sensitive support and education for South Asian women experiencing midlife and menopause—a subject too often silenced or sidelined in both mainstream and cultural discourse.
Spearheaded by Kiran Singh, a Midlife & Menopause Coach of Indian heritage, The Sattva Collective is the first of its kind in the UK to centre the lived experiences of South Asian women during this deeply personal, complex life transition. At the heart of the initiative is a powerful message: “Midlife is not a crisis. It’s a calling.”
The name “Sattva,” derived from Sanskrit, reflects the core mission of the collective—fostering clarity, balance, and inner peace. Through a dynamic mix of in-person gatherings, educational programming, and personal coaching, The Sattva Collective aims to create a safe and empowering space where South Asian women can openly discuss their health, identities, and evolving roles.
The organisation’s offerings are wide-ranging. These include monthly meet-ups in local cafés to foster community connection, expert-led workshops focused on hormone health and mental well-being, and a public awareness campaign tackling the cultural stigma around menopause. The collective is also set to host its first flagship Midlife Summit in January 2026, promising to be a landmark event in the movement to normalise and support midlife health for South Asian women.
For many, menopause and midlife are still taboo subjects. In traditional settings, symptoms are dismissed, and women are often left without the resources or language to articulate what they’re going through. Singh, drawing from both professional expertise and personal insight, created The Sattva Collective to address these gaps—building not only awareness but a supportive sisterhood.
“The silence around menopause in our community is deafening,” Singh says. “It’s time we had spaces that not only acknowledge our stories but elevate them. We’re here to shift the narrative—this is about empowerment, connection, and transformation.”
As The Sattva Collective prepares to roll out its 2025 programme, it is actively seeking sponsors, funding partners, and community collaborators to help expand its reach and deepen its impact. With this bold new platform, South Asian women across the UK finally have a voice—and a village—to carry them through one of life’s most transformative chapters.
