My Menopause Story
When I first began navigating these stages, I was overwhelmed by how unmet my needs were. I wasn't offered adequate support or choices. No doctor took the time or showed the patience to educate me about the differences between natural hormone replacement and synthetic hormones. Nor was there any focus on the critical importance of nutrition, exercise, sexual health, or mindfulness practices. It became clear to me that this was likely the experience of many women.
From that moment on, I dedicated myself to learning everything I could about multi-level approaches to supporting myself and others through perimenopause and beyond. My approach to women's healthcare is rooted in this personal journey, with the intention of ensuring that women entering this profound stage of life are met with empathy, education, options, and a holistic system of care. Together, we will create a personalized care plan that addresses your needs—mind, body, and soul—so you can feel your best at every stage of life. This is the core intention behind Your Menopause Concierge.
