Our Mission

At Menopod, we’re dedicated to providing innovative cooling solutions for hot flashes, heat stress, and personal wellness. Our mission is to empower individuals—no matter their stage in life—to take control of their comfort and live fully, confidently, and without interruption. We believe everyone deserves to feel their best and stay cool, no matter where they are.

A Small Business Bringing Big Relief

Our Story

Menopod was created in 2014 with a simple goal: to provide fast, effective relief from hot flashes. We understand how frustrating and disruptive sudden heat can be, whether it’s caused by menopause, postpartum recovery, anxiety, or even headaches and migraines. That’s why Menopod was designed to be a reliable, easy-to-use cooling companion for everyday life.

How It All Started

Menopod was originally founded by Patricia & Steve after Patricia experienced firsthand the challenges of hot flashes. Traditional cooling methods like ice packs and fans weren’t cutting it, and they wanted a solution that worked instantly—without the need for a fridge or freezer. That’s when Menopod’s advanced Peltier technology came in—delivering quick cooling relief with the slide of a button.

A New Chapter

Today, under the leadership of Jessica Tinney, Menopod has evolved into more than just a solution for menopause. It’s a trusted cooling tool for anyone experiencing heat stress, from medical treatments to migraines and beyond. As a small, woman-led Canadian business, we’re passionate about empowering individuals—regardless of age, gender, or background—to take control of their wellness. Our mission is simple: to provide cooling relief that’s portable, rechargeable, and always within reach—so you can feel comfortable and confident wherever life takes you.

What We Stand For

We believe in fostering a supportive community and providing resources to help individuals navigate menopause and other heat-related challenges. Hearing how Menopod has helped people regain their comfort is what drives us every day. We’re committed to making cooling comfort accessible to all, so you can live life without interruption.

Join Our Community

We love connecting with our customers and hearing your stories. Whether you’re navigating menopause, recovering postpartum, managing stress, or just need an instant cool-down, we’re here to help. Thank you for supporting our small business in Canada.

Stay cool,

Jessica
