Why I Do This Work
For too long, menopause has been brushed aside, misunderstood, and handled with guesswork. I have seen what that does to women, as I watched my mom struggle through the many symptoms and side effects of menopause without any support. The sleepless nights. The brain fog that makes you question yourself. The debilitating hot flashes that make even simple daily tasks exhausting. And the frustration of sitting across from a healthcare provider only to be told it's stress, aging, or to try a new medication.
It's not just about the symptoms. It is about what those symptoms take away. Your confidence. Your energy. Your sense of control. And in many cases, your joy.
But, it doesn't have to.

After more than two decades working in health, nutrition, and fitness, I decided enough was enough. I became a certified menopause and healthy aging strategist so I could give women what is too often missing. Clear answers. Proven solutions. And the confidence to take back control of their bodies and their lives.

The Expertise Behind the Work
I am a certified, award-winning, and internationally recognized menopause and healthy aging strategist, best-selling author, speaker, and host of The Mr. Menopause Show, now entering its third season. My approach is built on evidence-based knowledge, practical strategies, empathy, unwavering support, and a deep understanding of what it takes to feel like yourself again.
I hold nationally and internationally recognized certifications in menopause education, nutrition, and wellness, along with multiple industry awards for my leadership in women’s health. Every program, presentation, and resource I create is designed to give you the tools and support to stop second guessing, stop searching in circles, and start moving forward with clarity and confidence.

More Than the Work
This work is not just professional for me. It is personal. Every woman deserves to feel informed, supported, and empowered during menopause, and I am committed to making that a reality. Now that I know every hormone, health, and weight management issue my mom experienced could have been minimized, reversed, or even prevented, I have made it my life’s work to be the advocate for women today that my mom never had. Outside of my work, I enjoy the arts, spending time with close friends, and sharing life with my spouse Darryl and our two fur babies, Jasper and Lewie. I also serve on the Board of Directors for the Boys and Girls Club of Hollywood, where I help ensure that young people in my community have the resources they need to thrive.
