03 COMMUNITY
Community & Access Programme
Our not-for-profit arm will focus on improving access to women’s health for communities who are often underserved — including refugees, people involved in sex work, and those facing social, economic or cultural barriers.
Through community partnerships, outreach and accessible education, we aim to reduce inequalities and create meaningful, practical routes to support.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Care that centres the whole woman.
“Healthcare works best when it is human, inclusive and empowering”
Ona Wellbeing Collective was founded by Dr Ruth Guest, a GP with a specialist expertise in women’s health, education and equitable access to care.
Ruth’s believes that women are best supported when they understand their bodies, feel heard, and have access to care and information that fits their real lives. She does this by bringing extensive experience supporting women across the full lifespan, from menstrual health and contraception, through pregnancy and postnatal welling, to perimenopause and menopause.
Alongside her clinical work, she delivers education and workshops across schools, workplaces and community organisations, recognising the powerful role of shared knowledge and peer support in improving wellbeing.
Ona was created to bring together evidence-based clinical care, education and community support — offering a more connected, compassionate approach to women’s health across every stage of life.

OUR APPROACH
Built on three foundations
Women’s health is optimised when care is compassionate, informed and accessible.
These three pillars shape everything we do.
Knowledge
Understanding your body, your hormones and your options empowers you to make informed choices for your health — at every stage of life and in every environment.
Access
Access means more than appointments. It’s about having the right information, supportive services and realistic options that fit your life, your body and your circumstances.
Community
We value the strength of shared experience. Group education, peer support and collaborative care help reduce isolation and build confidence alongside evidence-based guidance.
WHY “ONA”?
“She” - a name that centres on the individual woman
Ona means “she'“ in Polish. The name reflects a simple but powerful idea at the heart of this project: that women’s health should centre on the individual women - her body, her experiences, and the choices that are right for her. In some languages, “ona'“ also carries connotations of goodness and wellbeing, which felt fitting for a space focused on knowledge, support and community.

Yes - we currently take bookings for education sessions and workshops. Sessions can be tailored to your audience, whether that’s secondary school students, parents, employees, or community groups. Please use the contact form to describe your needs and we’ll get back to you to discuss options.
-
Dr Ruth is a GP with a specialist focus on women’s health, meaning appointments are longer, more holistic and specifically tailored to women’s health concerns.
You’ll be seen by someone who understands the nuances of hormonal health, the impact of life stages, and the value of taking the whole person into account - not just the immediate symptom.
-
A group clinic is a way of having a consultation, such as a menopause consultation, with others who are going through similar symptoms as you. It is a way to gain some peer support whilst accessing a clinician in a more cost effective way. Contact us to find out more.
-
A 45 minute appointment gives the time to assess your needs. This suits people wanting to have an initial menopause consultation or who have complex period challenges. These consultations are £225 and include initial prescriptions (medications will be an additional cost via pharmacies.)
Investigations such as scans and blood tests are organised and paid for separately.
Follow up appointments:
If you just need to check in, these can be arranged at £60 for a 15 minute appointment or £125 for 30 minutes.
Coil fits require an initial consultation to explain the process and to choose the right coil for your requirements (30 minutes - this can be remote), then a face to face coil fit consultation (45 minutes). £465 includes the cost of the coil and both appointments.
If you aren’t sure which appointment you need or perhaps want a longer appointment please contact us to discuss your options.
