Reframing menopause beyond what they tell you
I speak and write about what happens when women hit midlife and the system fails them.
I'm not a doctor, therapist, or wellness expert. I'm a woman who walked through menopause, researched the science they don't teach you, and discovered that what we're told about women's midlife health is incomplete at best and actively harmful at worst.
My work challenges the mainstream medical narrative that frames menopause as a hormone deficiency disease requiring pharmaceutical intervention. Instead, I present the evidence for a different understanding: that menopause is a natural biological transition happening against a backdrop of systemic poisoning, chronic stress, and medical gaslighting.
I combine rigorous research with lived experience to offer Gen X women a clear-eyed look at what's actually happening in their bodies, why conventional solutions often fail, and what genuinely works for recovery and transformation.
The Midlife Uprising: A Revolutionary Guide to Midlife Liberation
Forthcoming 2026
The Midlife Uprising is an evidence-based guide for Generation X women experiencing menopause. It exposes the systemic failures in women's healthcare while offering practical, research-backed alternatives for genuine recovery and transformation.
The book is structured in two parts:
Part One: What They Didn't Tell You examines the science of menopause beyond hormone replacement, including environmental toxins disrupting endocrine function, the medication cascade problem, chronic stress impacts, and why the medical model fails women.
Part Two: A Different Way provides a recovery-based framework adapted from 12-step principles, addressing trauma patterns, nervous system regulation, authentic nourishment, and reclaiming authority over your own body and life.
Every claim is supported by peer-reviewed research references.
I deliver workshops and talks that give women the context and tools they need to navigate midlife with clarity rather than chaos. Sessions are evidence-based, practical, and honest about both systemic failures and genuine solutions.
Experience: Four workshops delivered and booked to date, with content drawn from extensive research and personal lived experience documented in The Midlife Uprising.

It's so important that any practitioner one goes to comes from a place of love, just to hold space, to share, to listen with the intention to help others come back to themselves and this is Luna.
