My Story
We All Have a Story. This Is Mine. I Would Be Honored to Hear Yours.
Women’s Hormonal Health & Wellness, PLLC was created from my own experience navigating perimenopause and menopause.
The average age of menopause is around 51, and perimenopausal changes commonly begin between ages 45 and 55. What I did not realize at the time was that my symptoms had started much earlier.
At age 40, my menstrual cycles became irregular, more frequent, and significantly heavier. Prior to that, I had always been predictable and consistent. I sought care and was offered oral birth control. When the bleeding persisted and I began experiencing mood changes, the medication was discontinued.
During subsequent evaluations, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids and advised to wait for menopause, as symptoms might improve afterward. Despite multiple visits and conversations, the term “perimenopause” was never discussed.
I continued searching for answers.
Through additional education, research, and professional training, I began to better understand the hormonal transitions occurring in midlife. Even then, I experienced ongoing fatigue, weight changes, and mood shifts. When my periods stopped at age 50, I assumed the transition was complete. Continued learning and evidence-based education helped me understand that menopause is not an endpoint, but another phase of health that deserves thoughtful care.
I pursued additional training in menopausal medicine, including advanced coursework focused on evidence-based hormone therapy and midlife women’s health. The more I learned, the more I recognized how many women share similar stories of confusion, dismissal, or uncertainty during this stage of life.
Women’s Hormonal Health & Wellness was created to provide a different experience — one centered on education, research-driven options, and collaborative decision-making.
Every woman’s journey is unique. There is no single protocol that fits everyone. My goal is to listen to your story, understand your symptoms and goals, and explore appropriate options together.
Midlife health transitions can feel overwhelming. You deserve to feel informed, supported, and heard.
I look forward to walking alongside you in your wellness journey.
