About your instructor
Hi, I'm Catherine.
I'm a Master's-prepared registered nurse and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) — credentialed through The Menopause Society for specialized, evidence-based menopause care. I went through perimenopause in my late 30s, and spent years being told I was "too young" for what I was feeling to be menopause. I wasn't. I just didn't understand how my symptoms were related to figure out what was actually happening to me.
This course is what I wish I'd had: real clinical information, explained plainly, with no wellness-industry noise. I built it for women who want their bodies to keep doing hard, joyful things for decades, and who'd rather trust rigorously researched facts than the next miracle supplement.
I live in Burlington, Vermont, with my family, our garden, a ridiculous bag collection and a lot of firewood we stack ourselves.
Why this, why me
There's a lot of noise in the wellness world. This isn't that.
Every session is built from peer-reviewed research and current clinical guidelines, not trends, not social media stories, not a product to sell you.

The course
What we cover
01
The why behind what's happening
Perimenopause, menopause, the hormone shifts behind the symptoms, and getting to know what is happening in your body.
02
Symptoms, decoded
Hot flashes, sleep, mood, brain fog, and the symptoms nobody warns you about — what's typical, and what's worth flagging to a provider.
03
Your treatment options
Hormone therapy, non-hormonal options, and how to have an informed conversation with your provider instead of a rushed one.
04
Staying strong and capable, long-term
Bone health, heart health, and the strength-training habits that matter more after menopause than before it.
05
Building your team
How to find the right resources who take you seriously, and know how to help women during this part of our life.
