Meet Danielle! 

Your Perimenopause Coach.

I spent my entire career in women's health and wellness- Stanford BA in Psychology and Human Biology and Master in Public Health from UC Berkeley - and still found myself completely blindsided by perimenopause in my early 40s! There I was, battling fatigue that doctors missed for YEARS before finally connecting it to my fluctuating hormones and thyroid problems!

And then? The medication they prescribed actually made everything worse! Extreme fatigue, total brain fog, anxiety that wouldn't quit, and sleepless nights. As an entrepreneur, I was terrified watching my health and business crumble simultaneously.

But here's the thing—that rock-bottom moment changed everything. I became obsessed with finding natural solutions to balance my wildly swinging hormones, diving deep into research about how stress management, diet, exercise, sleep and rest could support my endocrine system during this transition. When my energy and mood finally rebounded by addressing the hormonal root causes, I knew I had to share what I'd learned. Because no woman should have to struggle alone through this hormonal rollercoaster like I did.

Thank you for being here with me today. Whether you're just noticing your first hormonal shifts or feeling completely overwhelmed by symptoms, I've been in your shoes. This isn't just professional for me—it's deeply personal. Together, we're going to work with your changing hormones, not against them, to turn this challenging time into your healthiest chapter yet!

It All Started When I turned 40...

Almost overnight, I started experiencing thinning hair, breast tenderness so painful I had to wear a high impact bra for yoga, and mood swings that were full-on hormonal rage that I haven’t felt since I was 15. Add in nightly sleep disruptions, crushing fatigue, constant anxiety, and a brain fog so thick I could barely remember my to-do list, and I felt like I was losing myself.

The worst part? When I finally gathered the courage to ask for help, my gynecologist essentially told me to "suck it up" – my symptoms weren't "severe enough" for hormone therapy. And with my family history of breast cancer, I "wasn't a good candidate anyway." When my hair was falling out and I requested a full thyroid panel, my primary care doctor only tested my TSH (which came back "normal") and dismissed everything as "just stress and aging."

It took YEARS of being my own advocate – countless tests, numerous visits to specialists – before getting my thyroid condition properly diagnosed. I thought diagnosis would be my turning point, but the prescribed anti-thyroid medication shut down my entire body.  The fatigue became so debilitating that I could only manage one activity each day. I literally alternated making a green smoothie one day with taking a shower the next because I couldn't do both. For six weeks, I barely left my bed, and it took nine months to resemble anything close to my former self.

As a business owner, this devastated my work. Brain fog limited me to working a few hours weekly, doing just enough to survive. I made an error on a client spreadsheet that I never would have made before, damaging an important relationship.
