Take Control of Perimenopause

Service Description

This 3 session package (3 x 60 minutes) is ideal for women experiencing or wanting to prepare for perimenopause. We will create a customised plan that fits with your lifestyle and goals. You will be informed with evidence-based information and feel in control of your body. *After each session, I'll send an email summarizing what we discussed and homework. Session 1 (60 minutes): Assessment & Education Before the session, you will complete a comprehensive health intake form (symptoms, cycle history, lifestyle, stress, nutrition, current treatments), which I review in advance. In the first session, we will review your intake form, your specific symptoms and challenges, and establish your goals. We will discuss what is happening in your body in perimenopause and have you start to become an expert on your own body by tracking your symptoms and cycle together. I will also make preliminary suggestions on food, stress, sleep strategies, based on your specific health profile. Session 2 (60 minutes): Your Plan We will build your personalised plan: eating, stress reduction and sleep strategies that are impactful and realistic for you. We will also explore what current research says about the benefits/risks of Hormone Replacement Therapy. For homework, you will begin to implement your plan. Session 3 (60 minutes): Self-Advocacy and the Future We will reviews your plan and any learnings so far, making adjustments as needed. We will explore ways to keep you on track implementing your plan so that you reach your goals. As working with healthcare providers is essential in perimenopause, I will provide recommendations on how best to confidently communicate your symptoms, needs, and preferences to your medical providers. You will leave this session with a concrete plan for both strategies to implement and how to stick with it.
