Is Perimenopause Running the Show (and Not Letting You Read the Script)?
Let’s change that—starting today.
Perimenopause can feel like a full-time job no one trained you for. The mood swings. The fatigue. The 3AM anxiety spirals. Sound familiar?
You don’t have to do this alone—and you shouldn’t
have to piece it together from late-night Google searches. That’s why I created these free guides to help you cut through the chaos and start feeling like you again.
Grab one now and get real-life tools to support your hormones, energy, mood, and more.
What Even is Perimenopause?
Think of it like the winding (and sometimes bumpy) road leading up to menopause. It usually kicks off in your 40s—but for some women, it can start even earlier.
Hormone shifts during this time can cause symptoms like:
✅Hot flashes that hit out of nowhere
✅Mood swings that rival your teen years
✅Night sweats, brain fog, and libido plot twists
✅Irregular periods that love to keep you guessing
Sound familiar?
It can feel like your body’s rewriting the script without telling you—but here’s the thing:
You’re not broken. You’re transitioning. And it’s completely normal.
The key is having the right tools, support, and knowledge to navigate it with more clarity (and a lot less confusion).
Hi, I'm Kim
Holistic Nutritionist. Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist. Midlife truth-teller.
I’ve been where you are—confused, exhausted, and wondering if I was the only one Googling “why do I feel like a hormonal alien?” at 3AM.
Now, I help women in midlife ditch the guesswork and get real support for their hormones, health, and emotional well-being. My approach blends science-backed tools, mindset shifts, and plenty of permission to not have it all together!
This isn’t just about surviving perimenopause.
It’s about reclaiming your energy, your mood, your body—and your joy.
My Approach: Real Support, Real Women, Real Results
Let’s be real—midlife health advice often feels like it was written for 25-year-olds with zero hormone chaos and unlimited time. That’s not you. And it’s definitely not me.
Here’s what I believe:
✅You don’t need to “push through” or “just deal with it.”
✅Your symptoms aren’t in your head—they’re in your hormones.
✅Real change happens when we stop judging ourselves and start supporting ourselves (with food, movement, rest, and compassion).
As a Holistic Nutritionist and Menopause Coaching Specialist, I focus on science-backed strategies
blended with grace, humor, and zero shame. Whether you’re dealing with mood swings, fatigue, or a libido that ghosted you—there’s a way forward.
My work isn’t about perfection—it’s about giving your body what it needs and your mind the space to catch up.

No fluff. No fear-mongering. Just science-backed advice, cheeky encouragement, and the kind of midlife support you actually want to read. Whether you're riding the emotional rollercoaster or wondering if brain fog is your new personality—I've got you.

“The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself.” — Diane Von Furstenberg
Let’s get one thing straight: perimenopause isn’t a gentle unfolding—it’s more like a hormonal plot twist with no warning label. One day you’re cruising along, and the next? You’re sweating through your sheets at 3 a.m., forgetting words mid-sentence, and wondering if you’re anxious, hungry, or both.
But here’s the deal: the more you know, the less unhinged it all feels. Knowledge turns confusion into clarity—and gives you the power to take your health (and sanity) back.
Why Knowledge Matters in Perimenopause
When you understand what’s going on inside your body—from the estrogen rollercoaster to the mood swings and midnight wakeups—you’re no longer just surviving perimenopause. You’re leading it like a boss.
Learning about the hormonal shifts, treatment options, lifestyle tweaks, and support systems available to you means:
You can walk into a doctor’s office feeling confident and informed
You’ll know what questions to ask (and what answers you won’t settle for)
You can stop blaming yourself and start working with your body, not against it
Because no, you’re not crazy. You’re perimenopausal. There’s a difference.
