Many midlife women feel their bodies are working against them. 

Are you struggling with:

  • Tired but wired nights where you're exhausted but unable to fall asleep or stay asleep?
  • Being emotionally unpredictable when you used to be calm and steady?
  • Debilitating brain fog that makes you second-guess every decision?
  • Joint pain and body aches that impact your executive presence?
  • Low libido and painful intimacy that disrupts your closest relationships?

I believe menopause is your invitation to
step into unprecedented personal power.

I get it. Staying sharp at work while your
hormones create chaos is exhausting.

I know you want to be a woman who radiates vitality. In order to do that, you need to restore your energy, reclaim your mental clarity, and feel confident in your changing body.

The problem is, your hormones have their own agenda and are wreaking havoc on your system. Conventional approaches often miss the root causes, forcing you to manage symptoms instead of addressing what's really happening. This can leave you feeling exhausted and frustrated.

I believe menopause is your invitation to step into unprecedented personal power. That's why over the last 28 years, I've made it my mission to help high-performing women just like you restore their health and reclaim their power during this transformative time.

Here’s what makes
my approach unique:

  • I integrate physical therapy, clinical Pilates, lifestyle medicine, and menopause health coaching into one comprehensive approach. This addresses your whole person, not just isolated symptoms.
  • I use my proven 5-S framework (Science, Strategy, Story, Sisterhood, and Self-Leadership) to address root causes of your symptoms. Together, we'll reframe your experience as a powerful rite of passage rather than a medical failure.
  • I’m with you every step of the way as you learn to consciously lead yourself through this transition with the support of cutting-edge science and tailored guidance of an expert.

Ready to feel like yourself again – only better? Book your Midlife Clarity Call today.

Why this work is my life’s mission

I know how isolating it feels when your body seems to turn against you just when you need it most.

A few years ago, I was thriving professionally, but blindsided when breast cancer and its treatments thrust me into instant menopause. Overnight, I faced sleepless nights, brain fog, joint pain—and no roadmap from even the best doctors.

I searched everywhere for holistic answers that addressed the whole woman I was becoming. When I couldn’t find them, I built my own. I combined ancient wisdom with modern science to create a framework that rebuilds health from the inside out.

More than a decade later, I’m thriving in ways I never imagined. That forced transformation became my greatest teacher, and the foundation of everything I do now.

No woman should have to navigate this transition alone or without hope. Together, we’ll create a path that honors your ambition and your changing body, so you can emerge stronger than ever.
