Midlife Support Groups
You do not have to navigate this season of life alone.
My groups are designed for women in perimenopause and menopause who want practical guidance, colorful conversation, and the support of a community that understands what this transition can feel like.
Join the Virtual Group from anywhere, or if you are local to Pasadena/La Crescenta, we’d love to meet you in person.
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.
Research suggests that group education and person-centered therapies improve women’s health in midlife.
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.

These groups may be a good fit for you if you are:
-
in perimenopause or menopause

feeling confused by changes in your body

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.

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.
