Coaching for Women Navigating Perimenopause While Parenting Tweens and Teens
If you’re feeling more reactive, exhausted, or not like yourself, I help you manage the emotional ups and downs of perimenopause and parenting—with practical tools that work in real life.
This might be you if:
You’re reacting more strongly than you used to—with your kids or partner
You feel guilty about how you’re showing up as a parent lately
You’re exhausted, but your brain won’t slow down
You keep thinking: “Why can’t I handle things like I used to?”
You’re supporting your child through puberty while quietly struggling yourself
This experience has a name —
The Double Transition of Perimenopause and Parenting Puberty
When your body and brain are shifting at the same time your child is going through their own emotional and developmental changes, it can feel overwhelming, confusing, and deeply personal.
This is why I focus on supporting women through what I call the Double Transition—because you’re not just navigating one major life shift, you’re navigating two.

Overwhelmed?
Exhausted but Pushing Through?
Wondering what’s happening to you?
You're not alone — and you don't have to keep running on empty.
I work with women navigating the emotional ups and downs of perimenopause while raising tweens and teens.
When your patience feels thinner, your reactions feel bigger, and you’re left wondering, “What is happening to me?”
This isn’t just stress.
It’s the Double Transition, and it’s a lot to carry on your own.
This is what becomes possible when you understand what’s happening and have the right tools to work with it.
Through coaching, I help you:
understand what’s actually happening in your brain and body
respond to emotions with more steadiness and control
reduce overwhelm without adding more to your plate
reconnect with who you are in the middle of all this change
My work is grounded in practical, evidence-based tools (ACT, CBT, mindfulness) that are designed for real life—not perfect conditions.
Because when you understand what’s happening, you can work with it instead of constantly fighting yourself.
✦ If You Need Support With…
✦ making sense of your emotions during perimenopause
✦ why everything feels more intensely lately
✦ tools that actually work in real life (not just in theory)
✦ feeling less alone and more understood
✦ navigating parenting when your capacity feels stretched
✦ reconnecting with what matters to you

You don’t need to have everything figured out to start life coaching—in fact, that’s exactly why people come. You might be ready for life coaching if any of the following feel familiar:
You feel stuck, lost, or like something is “off.”
Maybe you can’t quite name it, but you know you’re not yourself. You feel like you're going through the motions, or wondering, “Is this all there is?” Coaching can help you get clarity and reconnect with what matters to you.
You’re navigating big life changes (or feel like one is overdue).
Perimenopause, empty nesting, changing relationships, career shifts—this stage of life brings a lot of transitions. A coach can help you make sense of it, feel more grounded, and decide what’s next on your terms.
You’re craving more confidence, purpose, or balance.
Even if things look fine on the outside, inside you may feel insecure, invisible, or like you've lost your spark. Coaching helps you rebuild your sense of self and create a life that actually fits who you are now.
You’re tired of doing it alone.
If you’ve read all the books, tried all the podcasts, or keep talking yourself in circles, coaching can be the missing piece: structure, support, and a space that’s just for you.

You may need a menopause coach if:
You're experiencing unexplained physical and emotional changes, and you want expert guidance to understand and navigate this transition phase
Your symptoms like hot flashes, sleep issues, mood changes, or brain fog are affecting your quality of life, work performance, or relationships
You feel overwhelmed by conflicting information about menopause and need help creating a personalized plan that actually works for you
You want to take a proactive approach to your health during perimenopause and menopause, rather than just reacting to symptoms as they appear
You're looking for support from someone who understands what you're going through and can provide evidence-based strategies and solutions
-
Some examples of what we might do during a session include:
Mapping symptoms and their impact on your life - for example, tracking how disrupted sleep might be affecting your work performance or identifying specific triggers for your hot flashes throughout the day
Developing practical strategies to manage anxiety and reframe negative self-talk - like learning to recognize when hormonal changes are influencing your thoughts, and building a toolkit of self-compassion practices that help you navigate mood swings with more ease
Working on developing personalized lifestyle strategies - like creating a sleep routine that works with your night sweats, or designing a stress management plan that fits your schedule and preferences
Exploring nutrition and movement plans that support hormonal balance - such as identifying foods that might be triggering symptoms, or finding exercise approaches that energize rather than exhaust you during this transition
Strategizing ways to advocate for yourself in healthcare settings - like preparing for doctor's appointments with the right questions, understanding your treatment options, and feeling confident in communicating your needs.
It’s not about pushing harder. It’s about working differently.
