Holistic wellness support FOR HORMONAL & LIFE TRANSITIONS
Integrative Wellness Coaching for Women Navigating Perimenopause
I support women through hormonal and life transitions with a whole-body approach rooted primarily in nervous system regulation and supported by functional nutrition and lifestyle coaching. Together, we reduce the impact of chronic stress, support natural hormone balance, and help you feel more resilient, energized, and confident in your body again.
Intolerance for BS isn’t all in your head.
If you’ve noticed that your patience feels thinner, your tolerance for stress is lower, or things you once handled easily now feel overwhelming, you’re not imagining it. Many women begin experiencing these changes in their late 30s and early 40s, often before they ever hear the word perimenopause.
You might find yourself waking in the middle of the night even when you’re exhausted, feeling wired but unable to relax, or needing more time to recover after busy or emotional days. Small frustrations feel bigger, stress lingers longer in your body, and your energy no longer feels steady from morning to night. You may feel more irritable or anxious — especially before your period — or struggle to focus even though nothing in your life has outwardly changed.
These experiences are often connected to perimenopause, the transitional phase before menopause when hormones begin to fluctuate. During this time, progesterone — a hormone that helps calm the nervous system — gradually declines. As this natural calming support changes, the nervous system becomes more sensitive to stress, meaning your body has less buffering for the same demands it once handled with ease.
Your body may be changing in other ways, too.
As stress tolerance shifts, many women begin noticing changes beyond mood and energy. Skin may become drier or more reactive, breakouts may appear unexpectedly, and metabolism can feel less predictable even when habits stay the same. Workouts that once gave you energy may now leave you feeling depleted, and routines that used to work suddenly stop working the same way.
These changes often happen alongside perimenopause because hormones, metabolism, and the nervous system are closely connected. When the nervous system is under prolonged stress and hormonal rhythms begin shifting, the body prioritizes survival and adaptation over repair and balance.
What you’re experiencing isn’t random. It’s your body asking for a different kind of support.
A different way to move through this transition.
Perimenopause is often experienced as a roller coaster — unpredictable energy, disrupted sleep, emotional swings, and a body that no longer responds the way it once did. Much of this comes from the interaction between hormonal shifts and a nervous system that has less buffering capacity for stress.
My work focuses on changing how your body moves through this transition. Rather than managing symptoms one at a time, we support the systems that influence all of them — beginning with the nervous system and expanding outward.
This work unfolds in three phases.
-
We begin by helping your body move out of chronic stress activation and into a more regulated state.
As progesterone declines during perimenopause, the nervous system becomes more sensitive to stress. This can make sleep lighter, emotions more reactive, and recovery slower. Through nervous system coaching and somatic regulation practices, we help your body feel safer and more settled so it can shift from constant coping into repair.
When the nervous system regulates, sleep improves, emotional intensity softens, and the body gains the capacity to heal.
-
Once the nervous system is more regulated, the body becomes more responsive to nutrition and lifestyle support.
In this phase, we focus on stabilizing blood sugar, supporting metabolism, improving recovery, and nourishing hormone production through functional nutrition and daily lifestyle adjustments. Instead of fighting your body, we work with its changing needs so energy becomes steadier and hormonal highs and lows feel less extreme.
-
As regulation and stability increase, the focus shifts toward long-term resilience.
You learn how to recognize stress signals early, support your nervous system independently, and adapt your habits as hormones continue to change. The goal is not perfection, but confidence — knowing how to care for your body so your eventual shift into menopause becomes a steadier, more easeful transition rather than an ongoing struggle.
“Before working with Sarah, I was in the darkest place I had ever been. I felt hopeless, broken, and unsure of where to turn. I was drained before my day even started. My body felt off balance—I couldn't sleep well, my digestion was all over the place, and my stress levels were sky-high. Now, I feel more grounded and resilient than I've ever been before. Sarah helped me get on an even playing field so I could make progress. My self-worth has improved—I trust myself more, and I know I can handle whatever comes up.”
