My Journey: From Personal Experience to Professional Expertise

​

My own menopause journey began unexpectedly early at 32. Despite experiencing subtle shifts in my body, I often felt dismissed by medical professionals. At 34, when symptoms like vaginal dryness and a decreased libido became overwhelming, I was told, "That's normal because you've been with your partner for so long."

​

At the same time, many of my clients were experiencing similar struggles: fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, and a sense that something was off. This was a wake-up call that pushed me to dive deep into understanding the complex relationship between hormones, stress, trauma, metabolism, and lifestyle. I earned advanced certifications in health, wellness, menopause, brain health, and more, all while realizing I was in perimenopause. Something I would have understood sooner had the women in my life discussed their experiences.

What I Do: Empowering You to Reclaim Your Health

​

Doctors often focus on symptom management, but my approach is different. I take a systems-based perspective, looking at your body as a whole, identifying root causes, and helping you make informed, strategic choices to support your well-being.

​

Through my PAUSE Wellness Framework™, I help women:

  • Prioritizing key areas of imbalance (hormones, metabolism, stress, etc.).

  • Assessing symptoms, lifestyle, and lab markers to spot patterns.

  • Understanding what your body is communicating and how to respond.

  • Strategizing sustainable, personalized health solutions.

  • Educating & Empowering you to take control of your well-being.​

A Collaborative, Holistic Approach​

​

While coaching is a powerful tool, true transformation requires a multifaceted approach. This is why I collaborate with a network of trusted professionals, including medical doctors, hormone specialists, therapists, and movement experts, to provide a comprehensive, integrative approach to health.

Your Second Act: More Energy, Clarity, and Confidence

​

I believe no woman should be dismissed or made to feel like her health concerns are “just part of getting older.” If you've been told your symptoms are common, or that your "labs are normal,” but you still feel off, I see you, I hear you, and I believe you.

​

Your second act isn't about slowing down, it’s about stepping into your fullest potential. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, dealing with unexplained symptoms, or seeking long-term health resilience, I'm here to help you reclaim control and live the vibrant life you deserve, backed by science, strategy, and unwavering support.

​

Let’s start this journey together. Your health, vitality, and empowerment matter.
