Personalized support for the shifts of menopause, midlife, and beyond
If you’re feeling confused and frustrated to find, in midlife, the strategies that you’ve relied on to feel well in the past aren’t working anymore, you’re not alone.
Many women who come to me are doing all the right things. They eat a nutritious diet, are active, and prioritize sleep, but are still struggling with low energy, sleep challenges, brain fog, digestion that feels off, and more.
If you have a sense that you could feel better, more vital, but feel at a loss as to how to get there, you're not alone. Many people find themselves reevaluating and wanting to make big changes at this stage of life. This is a moment when people feel inspired and ready to make change and we build on that momentum.
If a new health concern has come up, or you’re thinking about mitigating long term health risks that come with midlife you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
I’m here to offer grounded, holistic guidance and the kind of support you can truly count on. Through steady, personalized changes we can build a way of living that fits who you are now rather than who you were twenty years ago.
A Path to Renewed Vitality
After more than 11 years helping women through midlife transitions, I truly believe that midlife offers women an opportunity to become our most vibrant, connected selves.
With supportive guidance and personalized herbal blends, my clients leave our work together feeling revitalized, confident, and optimistic about the future.
The approach that has really made the difference for my clients
Moving forward, not back. Vitality looks different at every stage of life. Rather than trying to get back to you’re a previous version of yourself, I help you build sustainable wellbeing for who you are now, while creating a strong foundation for health moving into the future.
Centering in your own wisdom. So many women feel unheard in conventional healthcare settings and overwhelmed by the loud, contradictory menopause wellness world. An important part of our work together is supporting you in tuning into your inner wisdom, so you can feel confident in your body, advocate for your needs with more ease, and quiet outside noise.
Individualized wellness plans. There are many common threads to menopause and midlife transitions, but every woman’s journey is unique. Guided by your body’s wisdom, my experience supporting women, and my expertise in herbal medicine, I will create a wellness plan tailored just for you, with personalized herbal blends and supportive guidance around food, movement, rest, and daily rhythms.
Strategies that fit your life. Trying to implement a complex, new wellness protocol can be exciting and inspiring at first, but for many people it quickly becomes cumbersome and unmanageable, and that can end up feeling really discouraging.
What we’ll do instead is incorporate practical self-care practices that work with your real life. We introduce changes gradually so it doesn’t feel hard, so you can get to a place of renewed wellbeing, where you feel good and the practices that support that feel natural and sustainable.

What’s Included
Initial visit (60-75 minutes): During our initial meeting we will have an in-depth discussion about your experience of menopause and midlife, your health concerns and health history, nutrition, sleep, daily rhythms, environment, and social support. We will decide goals and priorities. We'll start building the foundation with a customized herbal recommendation and one or two foundational nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
First Follow-up visit (60-75 minutes): Two to three weeks after our initial session during our first follow up session we’ll talk about how the initial plan is working with your life, assess how your herbs are working for you, and make adjustments to your plan if needed. We’ll revisit anything we didn’t get to during the initial visit and discuss the next phase of your plan.
Visits 2-6 (30-45 minutes): In these sessions we'll continue with the next phases of your plan. You’ll receive ongoing support as you continue building vitality and establishing routines that support long-term wellbeing.
Between session support: Ongoing support between sessions includes weekly check-ins and resources chosen specifically for you. You'll receive a message each week between sessions so I can keep updated on how you're doing and offer support if you need it.
FAQ
Who is this program for?
This program is designed for women in midlife who feel like the wellness strategies that used to work for them are no longer enough, who have had new health concerns surface, or are interested in healthy aging, and would like guidance in supporting their wellbeing with herbs and other holistic strategies.
What kinds of concerns can this work support?
Clients often come in looking for support with energy, sleep, mental clarity, digestion, genitourinary health, healthy aging, and the broader shifts that can happen during midlife. The goal is to help you feel more vital, more connected to your body, and more confident in how you care for yourself moving forward.
What makes this approach different?
This work is not about trying to get back to your old self. It is about supporting the person you are now and building sustainable wellbeing for the years ahead. The approach centers your body’s wisdom, uses personalized herbal support, and focuses on realistic practices that fit your actual life.
Will my plan be personalized?
Yes, your wellness plan is tailored to you. Support includes personalized herbal recommendations along with guidance around food, movement, rest, and daily rhythms based on your needs and goals.
Will this require a complicated wellness routine?
No. The focus is on practical, manageable changes that can work in real life. Rather than giving you an overwhelming protocol, the program introduces supportive practices gradually so they can become natural, sustainable parts of your routine.
How does herbal medicine fit into the program?
Herbal medicine is a cornerstone of this holistic, individualized program. Personalized herbal recommendations work with the broader support you receive, with the intention of helping you feel more balanced, supported, and well in everyday life. I generally recommend one or two daily blends and carefully review each formula for compatibility with your health concerns and medications, if applicable.
Are the herbal blends included in the price of the program?
No. The herbal blends are an additional expense, usually between $k and $kk per month. The blends are made by a compounding herbal apothecary. I do not receive a commission for recommended herbal blends.
What form do the herbal blends come in?
Recommended herbal blends are usually in the form of teas or tinctures, but may be capsules, tablets, or powders. Sometimes I suggest delicious medicinal spices added to your food! If you avoid alcohol or don't like certain tastes, we can work with those preferences.
Do I need to know exactly what is going on before we start?
No. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Many women begin this work feeling confused, frustrated, or unsure why they do not feel well. Part of the process is making sense of what is happening and finding a supportive path forward together.
What if I want to continue after the program is complete? If you would like to continue you have two options: 1) You can sign up for another program or 2) You can choose to schedule follow-up visits on an as-needed basis. If you choose option 2, this does not include weekly check-ins or messaging support between sessions. A la carte follow-up sessions are $80 for 30 minutes or $150 for 60 minutes
Do you work with premenopausal women?
Yes. While my practice focuses on midlife women’s wellbeing, I have many clients who are in their reproductive years. Herbal medicine and my approach of listening deeply, moving forward, and gradually introducing manageable changes can be incredibly supportive for women at all life stages.
Do you work with pregnant women?
I work with pregnant clients from time to time and, for various reasons, I sometimes elect to refer them to trusted colleagues who specialize in working with pregnant people.
Do you see clients virtually?
Yes. I see clients in person and virtually. Virtual sessions are
How do I get started?
The first step is to schedule a discovery call. That gives you a chance to share what you have been experiencing, ask questions, and explore whether this program feels like the right fit for you.
