PeriNavigatHer™
About PeriNavigatHer
If you suspect you are experiencing peri-menopausal symptoms and you feel like you’re piecing your own care together from rushed and dismissive doctor visits, Google searches, and Instagram Reels, you are literally one of thousands of women experiencing the same things.
You’re navigating a stage of life that the healthcare system has never truly addressed before.
​
PeriNavigatHer was born from listening to hundreds of these stories and seeing the same pattern: women can (finally!) find a lot of general information about how to manage symptoms and optimize health during and after perimenopause; what they are struggling with is understanding how it applies to their situation.
And perhaps most frustrating of all, women are having trouble accessing providers who feel comfortable discussing perimenopause and hormone therapy with them.
PeriNavigatHer exists to:
​
-
Translate clinical guidelines and peer‑reviewed research into clear, usable answers you can actually apply to your own body and life.​
-
Help you walk into appointments prepared, with language, questions, and context that make it easier for your clinician to understand what you’re going through and how to help.
-
Support collaboration between you and your providers, even in a system where time, training, and insurance constraints are real.
In short: I’m trying to bridge the gap between “there’s finally more information out there” and “I need a provider who can talk to me about peri-menopause and work with me on a plan to optimize my health and quality of life.
Meeting A Need
Before PeriNavigatHer, I worked with women through coaching, workshops, and group programs focused on lifestyle strategies and brain health in midlife. As perimenopause finally started getting more public attention, something shifted:
Women would say, “I can find a lot of this information online now. What I can’t figure out is what applies to me. and how to get my doctor to actually talk about it.”
​
Over and over, I heard the same two gaps:
-
“I don’t need more random tips. I need personalized, evidence‑based answers for my situation.”
-
“I can’t keep paying out of pocket for every specialist. I need my regular provider to become my ally in perimenopause.”
PeriNavigatHer is my response to those gaps:
-
An evidence‑based answer engine to help you understand what the science might mean for you.
-
Practical tools, like the Appointment Prep Kit, to help you turn your existing provider into a partner, not a gatekeeper.
It's Personal
I am a PharmD, women’s health advocate who develops tools that support shared, evidence‑based decisions between women and their clinicians (especially if they are not menopause specialists) to optimize perimenopause care.
I spent almost two decades in biopharma, working on treatments for complex and often underserved conditions. I thought I understood “gaps in care” in a professional sense.
​
Then, at 39, I was diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency and developed severe physical, mood, and emotional symptoms. I suddenly found myself on the patient side, trying to convince people that what I was experiencing was real and trying to make sense of scattered, confusing, and sometimes conflicting (or missing) information.
​
That experience made my mission personal: I’m deeply committed to helping women optimize how they feel and their quality of life in this monumental stage in life. I want women to know they don't have to figure it all out alone.
The PeriNavigatHer Promise.
​Evidence‑first: Everything is grounded in clinical guidelines, consensus statements, and high‑quality research, with citations you can see.
Built for real‑world visits: Tools are designed around what can realistically happen in a 15–30 minute appointment.
Clinician‑informed, woman‑centered: I respect the constraints clinicians work under and design tools that make it easier—not harder—for them to help you.​
Honest about uncertainty: Where the science is evolving or mixed, I say that, and help you frame questions to explore options with your provider.
If you’re tired of feeling dismissed, rushed, or left to DIY your way through perimenopause, you’re exactly whom PeriNavigatHer was built for.
