The perimenopausal and menopausal years are a time of profound shift and change.

Space is opened for generative energy, and this can be a time of creativity and envisioning. It can also be a time where balancing is needed for the body.

Well-person visits in this season of life can include referrals for mammograms, colon screenings, ultrasound, pelvic floor physical therapy, or bone density testing. We talk about hormonal balance, and any signs that your body needs support in the process. If there are any bothersome challenges, we can address those; including pain with sex, vaginal dryness, leaking urine, hot flashes, sleep disruption, or changes in mood. Using a shared decision-making model, botanical, complementary, and prescription medications can be options.
