Empowering Women Through Menopause: My Journey to Wellness Coaching
Welcome to JWaugh Wellness, where we specialize in Women's Health Coaching with a heartfelt focus on navigating the Menopause Transition Journey – from perimenopause to postmenopause. I'm Jessica Waugh, a Certified Menopause Specialist and Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, driven by personal experience and a passion for empowering women like you.
​
My journey into menopause awareness began unexpectedly early, at 33. I noticed subtle changes in my body, but medical guidance often led elsewhere. It wasn't until symptoms like vaginal dryness and decreased libido profoundly impacted my life at 35 that I sought answers, only to face dismissals like "well, you've been with your partner for many years; that's normal." ​At the same time, many of my clients were discussing perimenopause... which got me thinking.
​
My commitment to providing the best coaching possible fueled my desire to pursue certifications focusing on the menopause transition journey. Little did I know this would profoundly impact my life. Through this process, I discovered that I was indeed experiencing perimenopause, validated by the shared experiences of the women in my family – all reaching menopause before 45.
​
Coaching is a powerful tool, yet I recognize I cannot be everything for everyone. Therefore, I proudly partner with skilled practitioners, offering comprehensive support that transcends coaching alone. Together, we provide a holistic support system encompassing medical care, therapy services, movement expertise, and more.
​
My mission is rooted in empathy and advocacy. No woman should endure the gaslighting or dismissal of her symptoms. I'm here to listen, believe, and support you through every step of your journey. Whether you're navigating the uncertainties of perimenopause or seeking balance in postmenopause, I am dedicated to helping you reclaim control over your body and your life.
​
Let's embark on this transformative journey together. I'm honored to be your partner, ready to empower you with knowledge, support, and understanding. Your experience matters, and I can't wait to guide you towards a healthier, more empowered future.
