Expert Overview
Perimenopause.
How come no one talks about this transition?
Why do we only know about it through memes about erupting in flames or losing our minds?
Why don’t we learn about it in highschool sex ed, so we know what to expect?
Why is it that society tells folks who are socialized as women that they are no longer valuable beyond this transition? We are told by society that if we are no longer young, hot, fertile and attractive to the male gaze - we don’t matter anymore.
This extra layer of bumping up against societal messaging (while also experiencing some major changes in the way our bodies look, feel and work) can be complicated.
As a Reproductive Acupuncturist, Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Board Certified Reproductive Specialist, I have seen hundreds of folks through this transition in my clinical practice. I have seen what we do to ourselves with our own minds and how that makes it harder for us.
But what if we could look at perimenopause as a gift and a gateway to the REST. OF. OUR. LIVES?
And that’s exactly what I help my clients do.
We dive deep.
We look at everything.
We examine our thoughts about our bodies and our relationship with ourselves and others.
We decide ON PURPOSE how we want to step into this next version of ourselves
to become the next level badass humans we know we are meant to be.
*My coaching community prioritizes inclusivity. If you are experiencing (or are on the cusp of experiencing) the perimenopausal transition, you are welcome - regardless of your gender, age, race, ability, sexuality or any other identity you hold.*
