I have been where you are and its why I do what I do.
Kristyn Zalota
Certified Menopause Practitioner
Your Relentless Advocate
​
When I was 41, 11 years ago, I was in perimenopause. I was told by doctors that I was "too young" for menopause, which was accurate because I still had a period. ​But I was for sure in perimenopause, a word no one mentioned. Instead of HRT (hormone replacement therapy), I was given the birth control pill for my insane periods and antidepressants for my barely-under-control anxiety.
​
A couple years later, I noticed my formerly ultra-capable friends experiencing similar symptoms and the same medical runaround. Our shared experience of confusion, fear, and isolation led me to train as a Menopause Practitioner and Perimenopause Coach. I don't want other women to have to go it alone like we did.
I'm sick of perimenopause advice that makes women feel like their symptoms are their own fault. If you exercised more. If you ate cleaner. If you weren't so lazy or weak. You are already doing so much.
​
I don't believe you need another laundry list of to-dos, or another menowashed product promising to fix you. You need evidence-based solutions that actually relieve your symptoms and keep you healthy for decades to come.
​
I don't do wellness-trendy. I 'm passionate about reading the studies, summarising what is proven to work and sharing it. I help the women make reasonable, practical adjustments and actually feel better.
​​
I work alongside your medical care, not around it. I help women become experts on their bodies, prepare for appointments, and understand what treatments are available. So you and your doctor can make the best decisions together.
I've been where you are. It's my mission to make perimenopause a better experience for you than it was for me.
​
Not a doctor. Not a therapist. I'm a perimenopause coach and your relentless advocate.
What does coaching with me look like?​
For starters, its all about YOU.
​
Coaching is not like talking with a family member or friend where you need to reciprocate. It's also not like a speedy doctor's office visit. Our meetings are exclusively about your symptoms and feelings, goals and desires. I will take the time to get to know you.
Learn your body
I will listen to your symptoms and goals. I will give you tools to become an expert on what's happening in your own body. This knowledge will empower you to advocate for yourself with your doctors to get the best care.
Personalised Plan
Together we will craft a customized plan that fits your life and goals. You'll implement proven lifestyle strategies: nutrition, exercise, stress-reduction, and sleep to you feel better in perimenopause and beyond.
Accountability
I will provide accountability to keep you on track. If obstacles arise, I will be there to coach you around them. Together, we will turn challenges into stepping stones and ensure that you reach your goals and feel great.
Community
​I will also introduce you to a community of women who know exactly what you are going through. From tips and inspiration to laughs and tears, this community will lift you up, cheer you on, and share the journey with you.
