Before you book your Neopause Specialist Clarity Session, there are several critically important facts about the nature of this session, the legal status of Neopause as a platform, and the licensing of the specialists you will speak with. These facts are not fine print — they are the foundation of your informed decision to proceed.
| Neopause IS | Neopause IS NOT |
|---|---|
| A digital health information and education platform | A licensed medical institution, clinic, or healthcare facility |
| A platform that facilitates access to health education sessions with qualified professionals | A telemedicine platform providing remote medical consultations as defined by law |
| An information platform governed by Malaysian law and PDPA 2010 (Amendment 2024) | Registered or regulated under the Malaysian Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998 as a healthcare provider |
| A wellness and education program delivering evidence-based health information | A platform that diagnoses, prescribes, treats, or manages any medical condition |
Under the Malaysian Medical Act 1971 and the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) Guidelines on Telemedicine, the "practice of medicine" including medical consultation, diagnosis, and treatment is a regulated activity requiring specific licensing and registration. Neopause is not a telemedicine platform and does not operate under or seek to operate under the Telemedicine Act 1997. The Specialist Clarity Session is not a medical consultation, teleconsultation, or telemedicine service; it is a structured health education session facilitated by Neopause as an information platform.
The specialist professionals who facilitate Neopause Specialist Clarity Sessions, including the Neopause endocrinologist and gynaecologist, are fully registered medical practitioners registered with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) under the Medical Act 1971 and hold valid Annual Practising Certificates (APC) issued by the MMC. They are licensed to practise medicine in Malaysia.
However, when facilitating a Neopause Specialist Clarity Session, these professionals do so in their capacity as health educators and clinical content contributors to the Neopause educational platform — not in their capacity as your treating clinician. Their participation does not constitute the practice of medicine as regulated by the MMC, the Medical Act 1971, or the Telemedicine Act 1997. You should not assume that professional indemnity protections applicable to clinical consultations apply to your Specialist Clarity Session.
The Neopause Specialist Clarity Session is a 30-minute structured health education session facilitated by the Neopause platform. It is designed to provide you with general health education and information relevant to perimenopause and menopause, informed by your quiz results or shared symptom profile, helping you formulate informed questions to raise with your own healthcare provider.
What the Specialist Clarity Session Absolutely Is Not: The following activities will NOT occur during a Specialist Clarity Session: medical consultation, clinical assessment, diagnosis, prescription or recommendation of any medication (including hormone replacement therapy - HRT), or review of clinical investigations. No doctor-patient relationship is created. You are a user of an educational information platform, and the ethical, legal, and professional duties that a doctor owes to a patient do not apply.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Neopause and the specialist facilitating your session shall not be liable for any loss, damage, harm, or adverse outcome arising out of or in connection with decisions you make or actions you take based upon information shared during the session. You commit to maintaining an ongoing relationship with a qualified healthcare provider for the management of your health.
Payment & Cancellation Policy: The session is priced at USD $89 per 30-minute session, with full payment required via Stripe at the time of booking. Cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows forfeit the full session fee. No refunds will be issued once a session has been completed.
Recording Policy: You are strictly prohibited from recording, transcribing, or capturing the Specialist Clarity Session by any means without prior explicit written consent.
ALL SEVEN CHECKBOXES BELOW ARE MANDATORY. YOUR BOOKING WILL NOT PROCEED UNTIL EACH IS TICKED INDEPENDENTLY.
Menopause support is often hard to find, hard to trust, and hard to navigate. Perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep, mood, energy, focus, confidence, and overall wellbeing. Yet many women still find themselves searching through conflicting advice, vague wellness claims, and information that does not clearly explain what is happening or what to do next. Too often, women are left feeling dismissed, confused, or unsure where to begin.
Neopause is founded on a deeper clinical understanding of hormones and midlife health. That matters, because menopause is not just a list of symptoms. It can affect multiple systems and many parts of daily life. Our approach is shaped by endocrinology expertise and designed to support the whole person with practical, evidence-based guidance that women can actually use.
Neopause was founded by Dr Shamin Ramasamy, a Consultant Endocrinologist and Diabetes with over two decades of clinical experience in the UK and Malaysia.
Her specialist training at centres including Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital and King’s College Hospital, London, gave her deep expertise in endocrinology, reproductive hormonal health, and complex metabolic care. Over the years, she saw how often women were dealing with disruptive midlife symptoms while still struggling to find clear answers, joined-up support, or confidence about where to seek help.
The problem was not just the symptoms themselves. It was the lack of clear, credible, joined-up support around them. Neopause was created to close that gap.
Dr Shamin’s vision is to build a trusted platform where women can begin with understanding, move into personalised support, and access broader expert care when needed. By combining endocrinology-led insight with practical guidance and a wider support ecosystem, Neopause aims to make this stage of life less confusing and far more supported.
“I created Neopause because too many women were left without clear, trustworthy support.”
Dr. Shamin RamasamyA world where women no longer have to navigate perimenopause and menopause in confusion, silence, or self-doubt, but can access trusted support with clarity, confidence, and dignity.
Our mission is to close the gap between what women experience during perimenopause and menopause and the support they are actually able to find — through evidence-based education, personalised guidance, hormone-informed insight, and access to trusted expertise.
Clinically informed support grounded in women’s health science, helping you navigate perimenopause and menopause with clarity and confidence.
Trusted guidance shaped by current evidence, translated into clear, practical next steps you can understand and use.
Support designed around your symptoms, lifestyle, goals, and stage of life, because your menopause experience is uniquely yours.

Asha Menon has spent more than two decades at the intersection of people, leadership and the realities of working life.
As CEO of Neopause, she is bringing that experience to a subject that has spent far too long being whispered about rather than designed for: women’s health at work.
For Asha, menopause is not simply a women’s health conversation. It is a leadership, talent and business conversation.
Across a career spanning six countries and multiple industries, Asha has led People & Culture functions, advised CEOs and executive teams, shaped organizational cultures and challenged conventional thinking about how people experience work. A qualified lawyer and seasoned HR and culture leader, her experience spans employment law, organizational transformation, DEI, leadership development, employee wellbeing and the future of work.
She has held senior regional leadership roles with organizations including SOCAR Mobility, ZALORA, REA Group Asia, Agility Logistics and Citigroup, and has advised, trained and facilitated leaders across ASEAN.
At Neopause, Asha leads the corporate strategy, partnerships and workplace proposition, with a clear ambition: to move menopause beyond awareness and into the way organizations lead, design work and support their people. Her approach is deliberately human, commercially grounded and practical enough to translate conversation into meaningful workplace change.
This work is also personal in its conviction. Asha believes women should not have to quietly adapt themselves to workplaces that were never designed around the realities of their lives. She is passionate about creating informed leaders, psychologically safe conversations and workplace cultures where women can continue to lead, contribute and thrive through every stage of life.
Alongside Neopause, Asha continues selectively as a Culture Strategist, executive facilitator and trainer, and is the Founder of AMTalent Partners.
At the heart of her work is a simple belief:
“Women do not become less ambitious, capable or valuable as they move through midlife. Workplaces simply need to become more intelligent about how they support them”.
And that is what Asha wants Neopause to change. Not by turning menopause into another corporate initiative, but by making it part of how good workplaces understand women.
