Empowering Women Through Menopause: My Journey to Wellness
Thanks for heading to this page to learn more about my, "Why."
My transition into my forties has been a rough one physically. Weeks after we moved to Spokane, WA for our final duty station as a military family, I began struggling with yet again, another round of adrenal fatigue symptoms. On top of that, I was hit by that little gem we call perimenopause. I went to multiple specialists and even two cardiologists and a urologist, none of which ever made the connection that my symptoms could be hormone related. No one knew why I was having extensive heart issues, breathlessness, chronic UTIs and exhaustion. It was a naturopathic doctor who immediately identified what was happening. It was at that moment when I had an epiphany: women's health is overlooked, ignored, and generally not well-understood by the medical establishment. In the military medical system, women's symptoms are often overlooked as "just anxiety."
​
After a battery of comprehensive testing and the most thorough wellness exam I have ever experienced, my naturopathic doctor and I embarked on a life changing journey. My health improved under her expert care through acupuncture, herbs, meditation, yoga, nutritional therapy, massage, and targeted supplements. I even went to graduate school to learn as much as I could to help women like me. Throughout school, it became clear that women need an advocate for this vital time. I felt led to change the niche of my wellness business to focus solely on taking care of women throughout their menopause journey and beyond. Now my mission is to be your guide as you learn to walk through these transitions so you can live a more vibrant and successful life!
