QUEEN BE

A community for Australian women experiencing menopause and perimenopause.

No matter who you are, where you come from, you can be queen be.

Welcome to Queen Be. We are a collective of women from all over Australia. We span the regions, rural and remote Australia. We are the voice of the women from these areas. We talk about what is really going on, and then we create what is needed to support these women.

Our core belief is that through building community, we build resilience, connection and no one is left behind.

Community  –  Courses  –  Events  –  Empowerment

Having spent years working as a personal coach, mentor and developing an educational program on your mind, body and emotions, Tanya Rutherford has found deep passion in working with and uplifting women from the regions. Being from regional Australia herself, and having found her perimenopause experience a surprise and a challenge, she is now sharing stories and helping support others through this journey. Women like you and me, not supermodels or influencers, just us, the queen be’s.

Founding story

Through the ancient practice of storytelling, Queen Be is all about building community. Finding the common threads, the ‘why’, the ‘how’ and the ‘actions’ that we (collective) need to be able to support ourselves and our communities.

Community, storytelling and collective growth
No stress

Gudamuli and welcome to the Queenbe website. We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians, the Darumbal and the Bundjalung nation, from whose lands we create, broadcast and deliver from, and recognize their continuous connection to country, sea, and community. We pay our respects to them and to their Elders past, present, and emerging. We also share an appreciation of their deep knowledge of storytelling, an age-old practice that spans generations, cultures, and millennia. It’s through stories that wisdom is passed, histories preserved, and connections are. made. It’s a tradition that has breathed life into the very essence of our identities and communities.
