How I Can Support You
I Help Women in Midlife to Sleep Through the Night Again, Restore Emotional Steadiness, and Regain Their Mental Clarity
I am a menopause and nervous system specialist with over a decade of clinical experience helping midlife women navigate the perimenopause transition with less stress and more confidence.
As a Certified Health & Well-being Coach, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Registered Yoga Teacher, qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Teacher, I have spent more than 20 years sharing the transformative benefits of stress reduction and nervous system regulation with women who are ready for real change.
I founded the 90-Day Perimenopause Nervous System Reset, where participants consistently report sleeping through the night, greater emotional resilience, renewed energy, and mental clarity they thought they'd lost for good.
I See You. Struggling Just Like I Did.
Not feeling like yourself any longer and wondering, “Is this me now?”
I see you covered in sweat, in the middle of the night. My husband called me “Suzie Sheet Kicker.”
I see you waking up between 2 and 4 am, unable to get back to sleep for hours, if at all.
I see you managing your to-do list despite exhaustion and overwhelm. Emotions suddenly feeling out of your control; racing thoughts, rumination, anxiety.
I see you struggling to remember words or names you use every day, forgetting your train of thought mid-presentation, and trying to perform despite thick brain fog.
These neurological symptoms of menopause can last more than 15 years for many women. Over time they quietly erode confidence and performance, strain relationships, and may lead you to step back from social situations or career opportunities.
You don’t have to keep struggling. You absolutely can feel like yourself again.
What’s often missed
Chronic Stress And Nervous System Dysregulation Can Drive These Symptoms.
Here’s the truth
(and I’m sorry if no one has shared this with you until now)
Your nervous system and hormones are deeply connected.
When we support nervous system, hormones are optimized and hormone support becomes more effective (whether or not that includes hormone therapy).
Menopause symptoms are not a personal failure.
I can help you understand what’s happening, without fear or judgment, so you can not only stop struggling, but also experience this natural time of transition with personal empowerment.
My story
I Understand What It Feels Like To Lose Yourself In The Menopause Transition.
For nearly 20 years during my own menopause transition, I struggled with severe insomnia. For many years I slept only 20 minutes each night.
By day I was tired and irritable — snapping at my kids and blaming my husband for everything. I would forget entire presentations and resort to reading my PowerPoint. I struggled to remember words I used every day and faces I saw every day.
My mom had dementia, and I was terrified the same thing was happening to me.
At the time I was working as a Nutritionist and Health Coach helping others optimize their health — yet I couldn’t solve this for myself, no matter how hard I tried.
Everything changed once I discovered mindfulness-based stress reduction tools.
Then I noticed the behaviour patterns that showed up when I was under stress (Hello Control and Blame) and I learned to hold this with self-kindness.
Most importantly, I discovered that I could voluntarily move myself out of my habitual Stress Response and into the Relaxation Response.
Without the cortisol activation in the middle of the night, my sleep transformed. Today I sleep 8-9 hours most nights, and if I wake at 3am I can return to sleep within minutes. Of course, improved memory and stress resilience followed.
If I can do it, you can too

Heather's testimonial
This work is deeply personal
It’s rooted in lived experience and grounded in clinical training.
I do it because women deserve to understand what’s happening in their body and mind, and to feel like themselves again.
With the right understanding and support, this natural time of transition can become one of personal empowerment rather than a problem to be fixed.
