The Menopause Maze

My journey into menopause was a maze of confusion and uncertainty. Even my trusted doctor was at a loss, prescribing medication that wasn't quite right. I was reluctant to dive into the depths of internet research, as the overwhelming sea of information can be daunting. But then, finally, I found the solution - a low-dose estrogen and progestogen patch. This simple change transformed my life, leaving me feeling amazing.

More Than a Menopause Maven

Beyond my personal journey, I'm a Transition, Career Strategist, and Performance Coach. I'm passionate about helping people navigate life's transitions, whether menopause, career changes, or personal growth. Sometimes, all it takes is a little nudge to unlock your potential.

My Story - From Dairy Farm to Ottawa

My story began in a small French dairy farm community in Northern Ontario, Canada. I moved to the bustling city of Ottawa at 19, driven by a fearless spirit and a desire to work for big corporations. I embarked on a journey of job-hopping, each position bringing valuable experiences. I discovered that I had unknowingly become an expert in the job search process. Today, I'm a Career Transition Coach, having assisted over 700 individuals in their career transitions.

Embracing Serendipity

I believe in the power of serendipity, and each job I've held has shaped me into who I am today. We carry our past with us, and it's essential to embrace it to move forward.

Menopause and Personal Growth

Menopause, I read somewhere, rewires the brain, shifting priorities from nesting and caretaking to personal growth and equality. In my 40s, I felt a yearning to make a difference. I've been a caregiver my entire life, starting at the tender age of 6 or 7, caring for my younger siblings and baby brother. I continued to care for my parents as life's challenges unfolded.

Becoming a Solopreneur

At 50, I left the world of employment to become a contractual IT recruiter with PriceWater House. Years later, I fulfilled my dream of becoming a solopreneur, first as a recruiter and then partnering with outplacement companies to provide Career Transition Coaching. Remember that serendipity I mentioned earlier? It seems I was uniquely equipped to assist people with their career changes.

Empowering Midlife Professional Women

While I cherish all my clients, the ones who touched my heart the most were professional women in midlife. They often felt defeated, believing they were too old and past their prime to reinvent their careers, change directions, or start a business. While I helped boost their confidence to pursue their dreams, I also wanted to address their mental health and issues like energy and brain fog.

The Missing Puzzle Piece - Menopause Champion

Then I stumbled upon MEG and the "Licensed Menopause Champion" training. It felt like the missing puzzle piece suddenly clicked into place. I embarked on this journey at the beginning of the year, and the information I've gathered leading up to my certification has been nothing short of mind-blowing.

Unlocking the Hidden World of Menopause

I've learned so much about the fundamental aspects of the transformational stages women go through - from opening the box of tampons to reproduction and the eventual closing of that box. It's like discovering a whole new world hidden in plain sight.

Life Beyond 50 - The Menopause Murmur

Now, at age 60, I understand myself better than ever before, and I'm equipped to help professional women in midlife pursue their dreams and live fulfilling lives beyond their 50s.
