Perimenopause & Menopause
Are you dreading going through menopause due to stories you’ve heard? Or are you in the middle of it and feeling alone, frustrated, and not sure where to turn for help? Menopause and the years leading up to it (perimenopause), are a time of great transition. Like in all great transitions, there can be discomfort, but also opportunity. Nowadays most women spend anywhere from half to a third of their lifetime in menopause. New research teaches us that it is not just our hormones that are shifting, but our whole nervous system is being “rewired.” This is to prepare us for our new role in these years—for ourselves, our families, and our community. What this role looks like for you is part of your journey to discover! Herbal medicine can help make this transition something that is manageable and even empowering for you. My hope is to help you feel supported during this transition and to build healthy practices to nourish you for the years to come.
