Ep 3 - Stooping to Conquer

Stooping to Conquer - Martina Toby

Martina Toby is an expert healthcare professional specialising in Women’s health across diverse backgrounds and age groups. She started her career as a Genitourinary physician before pivoting to a General Medical Practitioner and then stepping into entrepreneurship, with her soon to be launched menopause care business. 

As she moves into the next phase of her professional journey, her focus has shifted toward education and advocacy.

Central to her practice is a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that individuals encounter during menopause.

One standout throughout this process is she made these career moves whilst being a mother of two young boys under the age of 3.
