Mission
Before the Pause is dedicated to educating women about the often-overlooked transition of perimenopause and menopause. Founded on the belief that knowledge is power, this business exists to provide women with the tools, guidance, and support they need to navigate this natural life stage with confidence and clarity. By starting the conversation earlier, women can feel more prepared, less alone, and better equipped to handle the changes ahead.
My Experience
Before the Pause was born from lived experience. Ten years into perimenopause, struggling to figure out what was going on with my body and mind, I became a certified Menopause Champion. Now I aim to share the knowledge and insights I wish I had known ten years ago when I started my journey. Combining personal understanding with professional training, Before the Pause encourages women to embrace self-care, prioritize mental and emotional well-being, and advocate for their health. It’s about more than just managing symptoms—it’s about thriving through the transition and laying a strong foundation for post-menopausal wellness.
