— HOW TO WORK WITH ME
Real support, built around your real life.
Every woman's menopause journey is different. Whether you're newly navigating perimenopause, in the thick of surgical menopause, or well into post menopause and still struggling, there's a level of support here that fits where you are and what you need.
— THE FRAMEWORK
Six pillars — one whole-life approach
This is the framework behind every coaching package: six areas we work through together, in whatever order your life and symptoms call for.
01
Mindset & Identity
Your brain believes what you tell it, so let's stop telling it that menopause means decline, invisibility, or the beginning of less. It doesn't. We rewrite that narrative from day one.
02
Nervous System Regulation
When your body is locked in fight-or-flight, simple tasks feel overwhelming. Evidence-based techniques that calm your system and give your body permission to rest, recover, and reset.
03
Stress Management
Chronic stress worsens every symptom. We identify your highest-drain areas and build small, sustainable boundaries that actually protect your energy.
04
Movement
Purposeful, hormone-supportive fitness, not punishing workouts. Strength and movement built for your body as it is right now, designed to build energy rather than deplete it
05
Nutrition
Foods that stabilize energy, reduce inflammation, and support blood sugar balance. Practical, sustainable strategies that fit into a real and busy life.
06
Sleep Hygiene
Sleep is non-negotiable. It's where everything else either holds together or falls apart. Targeted adjustments that restore the quality rest your body needs to regulate and recover.
— HOW IT WORKS
It starts with one session. Three simple steps to getting started
1
Book your Menopause Empowerment Session
Your starting point. A 75-minute, one-on-one session where we map your symptoms, conduct a Life Load Audit, and build your personalized menopause roadmap. $225, one-time.
2
Your $225 applies toward coaching
If you choose to continue with a 3-month or 6-month package after your session, your session fee is credited toward your plan. Your first step becomes your first investment.
3
Choose the support level that fits
We'll decide together, based on your goals, your timeline, and your life, whether a Momentum Package or a longer coaching commitment is the right next step for you, if any.

Most women come to this session having spent months, sometimes years, collecting symptoms without answers. They've been to doctors who dismissed them, tried supplements that didn't work, and Googled themselves into confusion. In 75 minutes, we cover more ground than most women have covered in months of trying to figure this out on their own.
"I got more out of this session than I have from any doctor's appointment I've ever been to."

— COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know before you book
Can I use insurance for coaching sessions?
No. While I am a licensed occupational therapist in Pennsylvania, these are coaching sessions only, not occupational therapy or healthcare services. Coaching is educational, collaborative, and focused on wellbeing and lifestyle strategies. It does not replace medical, mental health, or OT care, and is not covered by insurance. You are always encouraged to consult your own healthcare provider for medical concerns.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Some clients may be able to use an HSA or FSA depending on their individual plan and whether it allows reimbursement for health or wellness coaching. Check with your plan administrator to confirm eligibility. I can provide documentation to support your claim, but eligibility depends entirely on your specific plan.
Do you prescribe hormone therapy?
No. I provide education about hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options and help you learn how to advocate for yourself with your healthcare provider, but I cannot diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Think of it as coming to your appointments informed and empowered rather than confused and dismissed. This isn't about replacing the medical care you receive. I work alongside it, providing the education, support, and lifestyle strategies that help you understand your options, advocate for yourself, and move forward with a clear plan.
Do you work with clients outside of the US?
Yes. Because these are coaching and consulting services rather than medical or occupational therapy services, I'm not restricted by state or country licensing requirements the way a healthcare provider would be. I work with women anywhere in the world via Zoom. If you're outside the US and interested in ongoing coaching, we'll simply make sure session times work across time zones.
What if I'm not sure which package is right for me?
Start with the Menopause Empowerment Session. At the end of your session, we will discuss which level of ongoing support — if any — makes sense for your goals and your life. There's no pressure and no obligation. The session is complete and valuable on its own.
I had surgical or treatment-induced menopause. Is this right for me?
Absolutely! I have personal experience with surgical menopause and have worked extensively with women navigating early, surgical, and treatment-induced menopause. Visit the dedicated page here for more information and resources specific to your experience.
How does the client portal work?
All coaching packages include access to your private Practice Better client portal — a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform where you can message me between sessions, access your personalized resources, make journal entries, and track your habits and symptoms. Everything in one place, always available on your phone or computer.
— READY TO BEGIN?
Your first step is a single 75-minute conversation.
No long-term commitment required. Just clarity, a plan, and the relief of finally talking to someone who actually understands what you're going through.
