Our Story
We are health educators who became passionate about menopause education when we started comparing our own symptoms, fears, stories, stigma, lack of information and lack of support. We realized there is a knowledge gap where women’s midlife health exists, and that gap leaves us women alone, uneducated, scared and vulnerable. We want to change that story!
Our Work
We lead workshops that bring midlife women together in community to learn about what’s happening in the menopause transition – to our bodies, our brains, our relationships, our work, our sleep, our LIVES. We provide practical guidance based on the most current research and menopause care champions. We share health practices, tools and resources, all within a pro-aging, supportive community of women. There are better ways to do this transition and we want to help every woman find the best way for her and to remind her that she is not alone. Together we can change the way women experience menopause in our society!
