Own Your Becoming

Perimenopause is a transition, a becoming.

Perimenopause often starts with subtle shifts. Shifts in energy, mood, focus, sleep, desire, or recovery can appear without clear context, leaving you unsure how to interpret what is changing.

​

Own Your Becoming is a space to understand this season as it unfolds, physically, emotionally, and relationally. Not to tell you what to do, but to make the invisible visible earlier, so you can recognize patterns, understand options, and make informed choices.

Grounded education, lived reflections, and practical insights, before the “I wish I knew.”

Intro
Perimenopause is rarely just about symptoms.
It is the phase before menopause when hormonal patterns begin to shift, often years before your cycle stops. For many women, this coincides with changes in identity, priorities, relationships, and how they want to live moving forward.
​
Because this transition unfolds gradually, it is often explained away as “just aging.” The strategies that once worked stop working the same way, and the strain builds without clear language or context.​
Own Your Becoming exists so you don’t have to wait until that point.
This is a space to name what is happening earlier, to give language to what you are already sensing, and to help you orient yourself in this season instead of feeling like it is happening to you.

My Approach

My Approach

I approach perimenopause as a phase of reorientation.

​

My work focuses on translating complex information into something you can actually use, paying attention to patterns, and supporting small, meaningful adjustments that build over time.

​

This work is not about fixing yourself or chasing an ideal version of health. It is about learning how to listen to your body again, understand what it is asking for now, and make decisions with context and understanding.
