Have you been told that part of getting older is that things don’t work the way they used to? That it’s natural?

I see you. You’re working so hard in your business or your career, taking care of everyone around you but yourself.

You’re fighting hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, and depression, riding it out because you’re too busy to stop and take care of yourself.

You deserve to be seen… and supported in what you’re experiencing and more than that, seen for the radiant woman you are in the world.

You might not be feeling radiant right now. You might be cursing about your dry, irritated skin that can also be oily at the same time

There’s a laundry list of other things, too…hyperpigmentation. Wrinkles. Jowls. You bruise like a peach, and your body takes so much longer to heal.

You’re aging and you feel invisible, or maybe with all of the undesirable changes, you are wishing you were.

So let’s talk about hormones.

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all decrease as women age. Progesterone begins to decrease in our mid-late 30’s which is what contributes to the increasing anxiety, sleep disturbances, and period irregularities. As estrogen decreases, testosterone may not decrease at the same rate. Your adrenal glands also produce some male hormones throughout your life, and it’s this imbalance of hormones that causes the appearance of some male secondary sex characteristics, like coarse facial hair.

Estrogen is essential for skin hydration because it increases production of glycosaminoglycans, promotes an increased production of sebum, increases water retention, and improves barrier function of the stratum corneum. 

That’s doctor speak for “When you don’t have as much estrogen, you get really dry, and your body doesn’t make the things your skin needs to look, feel, and act the way it used to.”

Collagen decreases by 30% in the first 5 years of menopause, and by 2% every year for the next 20 years. That’s partly why skin starts to sag, and you get jowling and wrinkles. The other reason is your elastin deteriorates and fragments. Your skin thins, too. It’s a lot going on at the same time. Just like your life.

Maybe you’ve tried to fix it with botox, fillers, or cosmetic procedures, but you’re still overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted.

You don’t have to just deal with it. There is a proven method that can help you start feeling better – and fast.

My Story

I didn’t realize the high of finishing that grueling race and the happiness on my face would soon be replaced with crushing lows, sadness, frustration, and shame.

I thought it was just the injury, but as it turned out, it was so much more. My health began to fall apart. My hormones went out of whack. I was bloated. I was constipated. My energy tanked. I had anxiety.

No matter how much I exercised, my weight didn’t budge. My breasts hurt and my period was out of whack. My sex drive took a total nose dive and my relationship with my husband suffered.

I didn’t feel like myself anymore. I wasn’t comfortable or confident in my skin or my body. I was going from doctor to doctor, getting so many labs and just taking pill after pill, masking symptoms and creating new ones. I tried magic herbal remedies and supplements. I tried it all.

But my symptoms were out of control and I felt hopeless and helpless until…

I became my own client. I threw away all the supplements and ditched all my one size fits all plans. I seriously leaned into healing my own body.

I learned 3 super critical secrets that were the key to my success in healing my body, calming the anxiety, regaining my energy, and reclaiming my life.

I was making really positive shifts and many of my symptoms were improving, but something was still missing.

Finally, one of my practitioners introduced me to mindfulness and mind-body medicine. What I learned changed everything – my body’s stress response had been out of balance for years. Chronic stress was exacerbating the symptoms and challenges I was experiencing now that I was in PERI-menopause.

Adding mind-body healing practices to all of the other changes was the missing piece.

I totally rebalanced my body, healing the laundry list of things that were going wrong.

I want that for you, too.

These days, I love helping my clients fortify their inner resilience and radiate their beauty inside and out.
