What was that experience like for X client you worked with?

Yeah, so I'm thinking of a woman who had a very stressful job, a lot of pressure on her, a lot of responsibility to young kids at home, a number of underlying health conditions.

Came to me not sleeping through the night.

Just generally so unhappy, feeling like she was being triggered by...

If someone gave her a compliment, she would flip it in her mind to be something that she had to work on.

Wasn't able to receive, wasn't having good digestion.

Bowel movements were...

I feel like a decade ago, people weren't talking about it or they were, and we was in one ear and out the other because I was not in my forties yet, but Can you share a little bit with the audience about why is there so much hype around perimenopause right now? Is it because there's more research around it? Is it because social media and women are actually talking about their lived experience? What's happening? Why are we getting to have this conversation? And what's your take on how to approach perimenopause?

So can you tell us how you got into this field and how you kind of built this little toolbox that you have of all the things you use to help women?

Yeah, for sure.

I think as someone who is a lifelong learner, it's sort of that thing that as one door opens, you realize how many other doors there are and you just keep opening doors.

And it ends up with a lot of education and different tools, as you said.

For me, it really started as... young teenager.

I was a ballet dancer growing up and I had a lot of different injuries throughout the years.

And my parents were really open to other forms of healing and acupuncture specifically.

So can you give us some depth on how these two things, the nervous system and your hormones, women's hormones specifically, are related to it?
