Expert nutrition support for perimenopause, menopause, and midlife transition.

With compassionate, evidence-based support, you’ll gain the clarity and confidence you’ve been missing. Together, we’ll build a personalized plan that filters through misinformation and helps you understand and implement strategies that work. Ditch the diet books and restrictions and enjoy nutrient-dense, delicious foods that actually support you.

Peri-menopause & Menopause

Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, when estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate and menstrual cycles become less predictable. These hormonal shifts can contribute to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, brain fog, weight gain, vaginal dryness, low libido, and changes in bladder or pelvic comfort.

​

Once a woman reaches menopause — defined as 12 months without a period — symptoms can continue, and new considerations for bone health, cardiometabolic health, muscle mass, and cognitive wellbeing emerge.

 

These changes are normal, but that doesn’t mean you need to navigate them alone. Nutrition and lifestyle have a powerful, evidence-based role in improving symptoms and supporting health during this stage of life.

What you’ll gain from working with me

A deeper understanding of what's happening in your body.
You'll learn: 

  • How estrogen and progesterone shifts affect metabolism

  • Why sleep, hot flashes, irritability & brain fog occur

  • Why weight changes happen — and what actually helps

  • How menopause affects blood sugar, lipids, bone health, digestion, and mood
     

A nutrition plan based on menopausal physiology. 

  • Personalized nutrition guidance to support metabolism, hormone balance, inflammation, and symptom reduction

  • Meal planning support, simple recipes, and practical tools to make healthy eating realistic and sustainable

  • Flexible strategies for eating out, traveling, managing cravings, and navigating busy weeks

  • Targeted supplement recommendations backed by research — so you know exactly what’s worth taking

  • Collaboration with your family doctor to track relevant lab markers (glucose, lipids, thyroid health, nutrients) and monitor progress over time

  • Testing referrals when appropriate, coordinated with qualified healthcare providers

​

Lifestyle support. As an integrative and functional nutrition practitioner I take a holistic approach. Diet is important, but not more important that movement and mindfulness. My practice integrates:

  • Strength and movement guidance to support muscle, metabolism, and bone health

  • Sleep and nervous system strategies to improve energy, stress resilience, and symptom stability

  • Stress-management tools that align with your lifestyle and support hormonal and metabolic balance

​

Outcomes:

Every woman’s experience is unique, but many clients see:

  • Weight loss (if appropriate)

  • Improved metabolic markers (cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, fasting insulin, etc.)

  • More energy and less sugar cravings

  • Improved muscle mass and strength (if client participates in lifestyle recommendations)

  • Reduced hot flashes & night sweats

  • Improved sleep quality

  • Reduced bloating & better digestion

  • Reduced chronic disease risk​

The Commitment

Midlife physiology doesn’t shift overnight — effective support requires consistency and compassionate structure.
 

Most clients work with me:

  • Bi-weekly for 2–3 months

  • Then monthly for 6–12 months, depending on goals and symptom complexity
     

This allows enough time to see real improvements in metabolism, body composition, symptoms, and blood work.​​
