Perimenopause kind of blindsided me. I mean I wasn’t ready for the anxiety, sleeplessness, lack of energy or trouble concentrating. I felt like I wasn’t myself anymore and I really didn’t know what was happening. Was this normal?? Turns out it is. I was and still am going through perimenopause. Those years right before “the change”. The difference now is that I’ve empowered myself with tools to manage the unpleasant symptoms and a balanced plant based lifestyle has a huge part in it.

What puzzled and discouraged me the most though was how taboo the subject of menopause was and how so many women were living in silence. Many not knowing why they were having these symptoms or how to deal with them.

I started this site as a place for us to come together and learn how to not only survive the menopausal years but to thrive. To gain health, body confidence and a passion for living.
