Want the real story? 

The word menopause used to make me cringe, like a hot flash of dread mixed with the nauseated emoji. 🤢

The thought of it felt dull and lifeless, like being put out to pasture. Who wants that? It frankly terrified me, because everything I knew about it was not. good. 

My life was moving along splendidly, and I eventually found myself living my European dream in Germany. 

Then I turned the corner on my 40s. And everything changed. 

Suddenly it was as if the rug was pulled out from under my feet, and I couldn’t cope. My nervous system was shot. Intense anxiety I had never known was my new best friend. 

I was exhausted all the time and couldn’t sleep. Along with a barrage of physical and emotional issues that I didn’t understand, I suffered a massive burnout that led me into a years-long spiritual awakening and stepping away from my career and life as I had known it.

But there was something about that liminal time that built my muscle for resilience and living with the unknown. I retreated to a cabin in a beautiful forest, on the grounds of a retreat center, to heal, and to begin the process of clearing out the first half of my life.

But as I coasted past my mid-40s, there was still something that wasn’t quite right. I tried so many natural healing modalities, doctors, and practitioners.

Then one day when I was 46, I happened to be listening to a women’s health summit and without much initial interest, tuned into a session about perimenopause. I was stunned. That was the elephant in the room of my 40s life. Suddenly everything clicked into place.

So, I dove into many teachings on menopause and learned what a powerful time this is in a woman’s life, when she roots down into her most potent power and wholeness, and rises up with a mighty vision and calling for the second half of her life. This is when she steps into her most epic purpose and authority.

Through my own menopausal transition, I learned a framework to hold and support me, like a map of what’s happening and what to expect. 

I came to actually very much love this rite of passage and claim it for my own. And I fiercely want that for you, too. It grieves my heart so much to see women suffering and bewildered through their perimenopause. 

Since then…

Now the word menopause still makes me cringe, but because it’s not expansive or imaginative enough for what this Change in our lives really is. It’s not just about the end of your period or some doctor “diagnosing” you with menopause.

It’s really about claiming your own power and stepping into your truth.

It’s something you claim for yourself.

I offer compassionate, grounded wisdom that blends practical self-care with sacred spiritual teachings. All infused with Ayurvedic feminine wisdom.

When you walk this path with me, you no longer have to piece it together alone.

You don’t have to guess. You don’t have to hustle for healing.

You’re held in a space that honors your whole being, so you can move through perimenopause with wisdom instead of overwhelm.
