Welcome! We hope these pages will help you make informed decisions
regarding your healthcare choices during the transition known as "the
change of life." We invite you to delve into this site, return often
to see what's new, or to find assistance and support. Like many women,
you may be asking the following questions...
What is happening to me?
You have trouble sleeping, you're miserable with hot flashes,
your joints ache, or you have lost interest in sex.
These are all normal symptoms of menopause. The menopause
experience varies for each woman. Most will go through
a natural transition while some may face other challenges.

therapy) or alternatives, or a combination of both,

the possible ways to manage your personal journey through
perimenopause, menopause and beyond. Start
