If You’ve Been Feeling Unlike Yourself, You’re Not Alone

Many women are surprised by how wide-ranging menopausal symptoms can be. Hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, and body changes are all common during this transition. This group is here to offer practical support, real conversation, and connection.

What These Groups Are

These are supportive, educational groups for women who want a more grounded and connected experience of menopause support.

Inside the group, we focus on:

  • understanding the menopausal transition

  • practical nutrition and lifestyle support

  • common symptoms and what may help

  • realistic strategies for everyday life

  • connection, encouragement, and shared understanding

This is not about perfection, pressure, or rigid rules. It is a space to learn, reflect, ask questions, and feel supported in community.

Why Group Support Matters

So many women are trying to navigate this transition on their own. Yet, research shows that group education and person-centered therapies improve women’s health in midlife. 

You may be reading articles, piecing together advice, and wondering why they still feel off. What is often missing is a space to step back, understand the bigger picture, and be in conversation with other women going through similar changes.

Group support can be powerful because it offers both information and connection. It reminds you that what you are experiencing is real, that you are not alone, and that support can feel both practical and personal.

About Carrie

 Menopause Coach & Board-Certified in Holistic Nutrition

As a woman experiencing the menopausal transition myself, and as someone who has supported many clients through a wide variety of symptoms, I have seen how often menopause is approached too narrowly.

Many women are given recommendations for sleep, weight, digestion, mood, or energy without the larger transition of menopause being fully considered. That is one of the reasons I deepened my training, became a certified menopause coach, and created these groups — to offer women a more connected, realistic, and supportive approach.

My goal is to help women feel informed, understood, and better equipped to care for themselves in this season of life.

FAQs

Do I need to be in menopause to join?

These groups are open to women at any stage of life who want to connect about their health and well-being. 

Do I need to know a lot about menopause already?

Not at all. The group is designed to be approachable and supportive, whether you are just starting to explore this transition or have been navigating symptoms for a while.

Is this a medical group?

No. This is a supportive, educational group focused on nutrition, lifestyle, and community.

Can I join if I’m also working with another practitioner?

Yes. Many women benefit from having group support alongside other forms of care.

You deserve support in this season of life.

Whether you want the connection of an in-person group or the flexibility of a virtual one, there is a place for you here.
