Hi, I'm Kristy. This Is My Story

Picture this: You’re sitting in a sterile doctor's office, describing symptoms that are turning your life upside down, and the person who's supposed to help you shrugs and says, 'That's common for a woman your age.'

Are y’all familiar with the phrase “righteous anger” because the first time a doctor said that to me, that’s exactly what I felt.

Pure. Rage.

I finally understood why my grandmother and great grandmother didn't trust doctors. It was the casual dismissal of their suffering, experienced by generation after generation of women.

But I also knew I couldn’t let the anger consume me. Instead, I used it to fuel me.

Doing What I Do Best

I channeled all that energy into reading book after book and any research paper I could get access to.

The next doctor’s appointment went very differently than the last one. Not only was I prepared with a list of questions grounded in research, but more importantly, I was confident in my lived experience and newfound knowledge, which gave me the courage to push back when I didn’t feel supported.

Eventually, the research I did to survive my menopause transition turned into a mission. I earned my Health & Wellness Coaching certification as well as additional specialty certifications in Women’s Health, Menopause, and Nutrition Coaching. You can learn more about my credentials and coaching philosophy here. 

And in 2024, I walked away from my 30-year career in corporate accounting to make good on a promise I made to myself when I was at my sickest.

My Promise to All My Coaching Clients

Nobody warned us about the chaos that often accompanies menopause, and if you were as unprepared as I was, that wasn't your fault. 

As such, I make three promises to all my coaching clients:

First, you'll get the facts you need to make informed decisions and the tailored support you need to navigate your specific situation with confidence.

Second, my coaching philosophy is rooted in a holistic view of wellness. Instead of just looking at your diet or exercise routine, we examine your whole life:  physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, stress levels, and even finances. 

Finally, menopause isn't the end of your story. You deserve more than just getting through this. You deserve a future you're genuinely excited about.

Your future self is waiting and I'd love to introduce you two.
