our work together

Perimenopause has a way of touching everything at once. Your body is changing, your mind is shifting, emotions are surfacing that you can't quite name, and somewhere underneath it all, your sense of who you are is being asked to transform.

And that's exactly what's happening. Because this is a transformation.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine this stage is known as the Second Spring — a threshold crossing, an initiation into the next chapter of your life. The caterpillar doesn't just change inside the chrysalis. It completely dissolves before it becomes something new. And while that process can feel utterly disorienting, it is also one of the most profound opportunities you will ever be given to come home to yourself.

The hormonal shifts driving this transition are real, and they have very real effects on every layer of who you are — your brain, your nervous system, your mood, your metabolism, your sense of identity. Understanding what's actually happening in your body is part of the medicine too.

So together we hold both of those truths. We look at your blood work, your symptoms, your hormones, and what your body is telling us. We explore your options — whether that's herbal medicine, nutritional support, BHRT, or a combination of all of it — and I advocate for the care that's right for you. And we go much deeper than the physical, working shamanically, emotionally, and spiritually with what this transition is asking you to release, and who it's calling you to become.

I work alongside you and your medical team — your GP, your specialists, whoever is part of your care — so that nothing falls through the cracks and you always know what's happening, what your options are, and what to ask for next. This is whole-person support for the transition you're moving through.
