More about Menopause

Average Age Range

Menopause is a Transition

Humans are diverse, and when it comes to health and life coaching, understanding the stages of life is crucial. On average, women begin perimenopause between the ages of 38 and 45 and reach menopause between the ages of 48 and 52.

Menopause is a Transition

Menopause isn't an on/off switch; it's a slow, progressive transition known as perimenopause, which can last for years. For those seeking menopause support, understanding this process is crucial. If you've gone 12 consecutive months without a period, you have reached menopause.

Nutrition

Menopause is a Transition

Nutrition

Nutrition for menopause becomes even more important as our hormones change. Through health and life coaching, we can learn that we need more protein, fiber, and probiotics to give us energy and to help us build a strong body during this transition.

Movement

Self-Care

Nutrition

After age 30, we begin to lose muscle, making health and life coaching essential for maintaining strength. Engaging in strength training and moderate cardiovascular movement is vital to prevent injuries and enhance our stability and balance. Remember, being strong is better than being skinny!

Sleep

Self-Care

Restoring our bodies and minds with a full night's sleep is crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system. When we feel rested and energized, it becomes easier to focus on nutrition for menopause and make better food choices.

Self-Care

Be kind to yourself. Engage in health and life coaching practices like meditating, breathing, stretching, and sharing a good laugh with a friend. Regulating cortisol through these activities can have a positive impact on your mood, hunger, and energy, especially during menopause.

Unique Coaching Expertise

My Approach

I've spent more than 20 years working inside complex systems—cities, government agencies, public organizations, and global companies—where change was constant and the stakes were real. In those environments, I learned that systems don’t fail because people don’t care enough; they falter when capacity is ignored. I bring that systems-based lens to women’s health and reinvention.

My partnership with Brandt Wellness, LLC brings mental health, lifestyle medicine, and coaching together to help you achieve your goals.

Starting Over, Without Burning It All Down:

How Women Navigate Life, Career, and Health Transitions With Clarity and Confidence

Midlife transitions often arrive quietly—through shifts in energy, identity, work, health, or relationships—and many women assume something is wrong when what’s actually happening is change. In this keynote, I reframe transitions not as failures or crises, but as natural turning points that require steadiness, compassion, and support.

Drawing on my experience working inside complex systems and my work as a coach focused on women’s health and reinvention, I help women understand why transitions can feel so heavy—and what truly helps them move forward. Through honest storytelling and practical insight, I explore identity beyond roles, the role of biology during change, why momentum matters more than motivation, and how resilience can be human rather than heroic.

Audiences leave feeling steadier, more confident, and ready to take their next step—without blowing up their lives or losing themselves in the process.

I help women through transitions—without drama, shame, or pressure.
