Let me guess: you’re here because you’re looking for answers. You’re done not feeling like yourself anymore. You’ve tried asking your doctor for help and still you feel like you are losing your mind some days.
You’re more than ready for the answer that will help you feel better about your perimenopausal symptoms once and for all. You’re not alone.
Every day, I work with clients who are right where you are now. And I was once there myself.
I went to my annual physical. I explained to the doctor that I was experiencing symptoms like, increased mood swings, PMS, migraines, heavy bleeding, extreme fatigue and shorter cycles.
“Was this perimenopause?” I asked.
“Nope, you are too young for perimenopause.”
I was 44.
Today, I know that the doctor was misinformed. Symptoms can start as early as 35!
Instead of addressing my concerns, the doctor pointed out that I had gained 10 pounds during pandemic stay at home orders. #weightstigma happens even in a thin body!
Turns out I had three uterine fibroids that were causing my heavy bleeding and as a result I was iron deficient and anemic (My Ferritin was 3! #IYKYK).
This started my relentless search for help and support with perimenopause.
I eventually found medical help and relief with a Uterine Fibroid Embolization and iron infusion that brought me back to life.
While my perimenopause experience was fast tracked because of my fibroids, this is when I became so passionate about midlife health and well being.
I hear of so many women going to their doctors looking for support, a listening ear and gentle understanding of this normal hormonal transition. While there are some amazing specialists out there, most doctors, even OB/ GYNs, have limited education on menopause and are operating in a broken health care system.
We deserve more than this. This is WHY I became a perimenopause coach.
No woman should have to suffer like I did.
You deserve to be heard and understood as you navigate perimenopause.
I’m here to help you.
