From Midwest Roots to California Sunshine

My journey started in Minnesota, where meat and potatoes were dietary staples! During college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!), two life-changing things happened: I joined the rowing team and met my future husband – a California native.

After completing my Biology degree, I eagerly traded snow for sunshine and moved west. We spent several years in Lake Tahoe as ski instructors before settling in California, where I attended Bauman College to become a Certified Nutritionist.

These days, when I'm not helping women transform their health, I'm juggling life as a mom to two active boys – serving as an unpaid Uber driver, personal chef, and master of the family Google calendar (which should come with its own advanced degree!).

When Doctors Don't Have Answers

If you've ever sat in a doctor's office feeling dismissed, gaslit, or rushed out without answers, I understand that frustration on a deep level.

The shocking lack of reliable support for women navigating perimenopause and menopause isn't just disappointing – it's harmful. Being told to "tough it out" or that your symptoms are "all in your head" leaves too many women suffering unnecessarily.

This summit was born from my conviction that while menopause is inevitable, suffering through it is optional. I've dedicated myself to translating complex hormonal science into practical, actionable strategies that actually work.

Whether you're struggling with fatigue, weight changes, brain fog, or mood swings, I'm here to help you navigate this transition with confidence and optimism. Because this isn't just about aging gracefully – it's about aging powerfully, with more vitality and joy than you ever thought possible.

I can't wait to guide you through this incredible journey!
