Perimenopause & Menopause - The Mama Coach

Women's Health Support

quality, personalized care

Women deserve quality healthcare, education and support as they move through life.

Did you know, women spend up to 40% of their lifetime in perimenopause and menopause? However, most healthcare providers receive little to no training on how to best support women during this stage.

We are qualified Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners committed to providing evidence-informed, holistic care. You deserve to feel great!

Did you know the average age of menopause is 51 and perimenopause can begin 10 years before? Many women are beginning to experience symptoms in their late thirties!

Every woman experiences different symptoms during this time in her life — you deserve to be listened to and supported no matter where you are on your journey.

The Mama Coach Women’s Health programs are unique! As nurses, we have the skill set and expertise to ensure you feel heard, and supported, and achieve positive outcomes with your health.

We have created The Mama Coach Model™️ developed after reviewing over 500 research-based sources! Our Model has 4 pillars below, all leading you toward optimal health. Our nurses will thoroughly assess each component, and then build a customized plan catered to your personal health – moving through the layers as slowly or quickly as you would like.

PILLAR ONE: NUTRITION

Weight gain is a common complaint in perimenopause and menopause and the advice from other healthcare providers is often, "eat less and move more." This is unfair as it doesn't address what is happening in your body at a deeper level. We will focus on 8 components to help you feel nourished, enjoy your food choices, and teach you how to eat to optimize your health.

PILLAR TWO: MOVEMENT

Exercise needs to look different for perimenopausal and menopausal women. Whatever stage of fitness you are in, we will help you meet your goals. Whether you have never exercised, or are in the gym consistently, we are here to help.

Pillar three: wellness factors

A woman's sleep can really suffer during perimenopause and menopause. Yet, it doesn't have to! We can help you find the rest you need. Imagine a consistent, full eight hours of sleep each night. Sleep is only one of four components to make up this pillar. There are many choices you can make to move you closer to your goals with our support.

Pillar four: integration

This pillar focuses on working with your healthcare team to find the support you need. Did you know Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is used incorrectly, underutilized, and/or feared by many healthcare providers? We will provide a thorough assessment and educate you on how HRT may help your symptoms, improve your quality of life, and PREVENT major illnesses, such as dementia, heart disease and osteoporosis. We also have NPs on our team who can prescribe HRT if necessary (in certain States and Provinces).

Everything we do as nurses is based on assessment:

Let us first listen to your challenge — truly listen. Where are you struggling?
After performing a thorough assessment in each focus area, we will work together to set goals and build a care plan to help you achieve them.
Every piece of the puzzle is integral to your overall health.

Each member of our team is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) (or sitting for the exam in the next 6 months). We are committed to making sure you feel heard, and supported, and that you see results.

you deserve to feel great

evidence and guideline based

Women's health has been grossly understudied, yet many practitioners continue to offer unresearched opinions. At The Mama Coach, we have developed a Model™️ based on over 500 evidence-informed sources to ensure women achieve their best outcomes. There is no need to struggle through your symptoms -- you deserve to feel your best!

we look at the whole picture

Women are complex! Our nurses will perform a comprehensive assessment using our Mode™️l as a guide. The 4 pillars contain 20 components to determine what you need to feel your best: Nutrition, movement, Sleep hygiene, stress reduction, supplementation, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We will not only assess but support you on your journey.

Let us help you with information overload

It can be tricky to find answers online in this current climate. How do you determine what is safe, what is effective, and what is a scam? There are many businesses, products, and practitioners out there who don't have your best interest in mind. We care deeply for each woman we work with, and will ensure you feel listened to, supported, and most of all improved!

We can help you from anywhere

Wherever you are, we can help. In person or virtually, we are committed to providing quality care, education and support. We will connect you to the nurse closest to you who can be your biggest champion on your journey.

committed to gold standards of care

As Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners we know how important it is to have an expertise in your filed. That is why each member of our team is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (or sitting for the exam in the next 6 months) through The Menopause Society -- Internationally recognized as the standard in women's health.

Long term relationship

We understand that moving through perimenopause and menopause is not centred around merely one event and is an ongoing process. Our packages have been developed with this in mind, and we can work with you over many different timeframes to help you meet your goals.
