I wore the mask well. Professional. Polished. Productive. But inside, I barely recognized myself.

The sharpness I once relied on?
Foggy.
My energy? Gone by 3 p.m.
Sleep? Fragmented.
Mood? All over the place.
And my body… changing in ways that were very frustrating and disappointing.
My menopause arrived abruptly.
I had to surgically remove my ovaries.
And just after surgery, I was already a complete mess.
As a doctor I knew menopause would hit hard, but I was unaware of how really hard it would be.
And then I realized in my own body…
The lack of estrogen affects your brain in a very impactful way.
And not only the nervous system, by the metabolism, and our memory and energy, and vitality, and the sense of beauty, all shift too…
Then you realize it deeply, and one day you look in the mirror and quietly ask:
“Is this still me?”
This is how perimenopause begins for so many high-functioning women:
In silence.
With self-doubt.
And without a roadmap.
It’s not weakness.
It’s not failure.
It’s biology.
And it’s also a sacred invitation—
To pause.
To realign.
To rise differently.
I walk this road daily.
And I invite you, friends, family members, loved ones, spouses, partners, to come with us.
Optimize YOU program.
We rebuild strength, clarity, and connection through the body, mind, and spirit.
Because you don’t need to push harder.
You need a new way forward that honors your body’s wisdom.
In community and with connection
Knowledge with science
Acceptance with soul
To rebuilding a relationship with you and with all around you.
You are not alone.
You are not crazy.
And you are not done.
Right here
Right now…
you’re ready to feel like yourself again…
And for vitality. Joy. Health. In All areas of your life… LIFE.
I’m always here with you…
I love you with my soul…
And I am sending a hug from my heart
