Perimenopause & Menopause
Menopause marks the beginning of a new phase of life — one where your health and well-being deserve just as much care and support as ever. My goal is to help you move through this stage with knowledge, confidence and relief from disruptive symptoms. Whether you’re starting to notice early perimenopausal changes or are well into your postmenopausal years, I’m here to help you feel balanced, comfortable and supported.
What You Might Be Experiencing
Perimenopause is the time leading up to your final period. It can start in your late 30s or early 40s and last anywhere from 4 to 10 years. During this time, estrogen and progesterone levels naturally fluctuate and eventually decline.
This transition can bring on a wide range of symptoms, including:
Irregular or heavy cycles
Hot flashes and night sweats
Mood swings, depression or anxiety
Sleep disturbances
Brain fog or memory changes
Weight gain and change in body composition
Joint aches and pains
Low libido
Vaginal dryness
Pain with intercourse
Recurrent urinary tract infections
Urinary incontinence
These shifts are common, but they don’t have to disrupt your quality of life.
How Naturopathic Medicine Can Help
I look at the whole picture — not just your hormones. My goal is to help you move through this transition with confidence, relief and a plan that fits your life.
Your care may include:
Comprehensive Lab Testing
Blood work is helpful to assess your hormones, thyroid, iron, blood sugar and cholesterol and other key markers to support your overall health and rule out underlying issues.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Support
Evidence-based guidance to balance blood sugar, maintain a healthy weight and support heart and bone health.
Herbal & Nutrient Therapies
Targeted herbs and supplements can ease hot flashes, improve sleep and support mood naturally.
Acupuncture & Stress Management
Acupuncture can help reduce hot flashes, improve sleep and calm your nervous system.
Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT)
Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) can be a safe and effective option for many women, especially for managing moderate to severe hot flashes, night sweats or vaginal dryness. I can assess whether MHT is right for you and prescribe it when appropriate.
Reduce Long-Term Risks
Menopause can increase the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease and cognitive decline. A proactive plan can help protect your long-term health.
