This initiative represents years of research, passion, and dedication toward a conversation that’s finally taking the spotlight.
I was thrilled to have my article From Invisible To Powerful published on the main page of Katie Couric Media a few days ago.

It’s time to move beyond the fear of aging and instead celebrate the incredible wisdom and experiences of women in this midlife and beyond. This phase of life deserves to be honoured, and there’s so much we can learn from the women who have lived it. (Like you, I imagine, dear reader!)
As a naturopathic doctor specializing in women’s health, I have spent over two decades dedicated to helping women thrive through life’s transitions, from fertility and post-partum health to pre- and post-menopause.
The Pink Zones is where I bring together this expertise to foster a community focused on flourishing in midlife and beyond.
Why these are zones I love:
When I was in medical school in my late 20s, some of my most cherished mentors were navigating the menopause transition. They taught me to see this transition as a rite of passage deserving of care and respect, alongside providing treatment for any medical considerations. Symptoms and health challenges that arose could be supported with botanical medicines, grounding practices, and bioidentical hormones (which we were able to prescribe even back in the late '90s)!
Before pursuing naturopathic medicine, my studies in anthropology and native studies, along with my work in oral history with elders, taught me invaluable lessons. Those early experiences prepared me to listen deeply to the stories of my patients and mentors as they journeyed through this transformative stage. I gained powerful insights from these mentors early on, and over the years, this understanding has only grown as I’ve walked alongside many women through menopause and the empowering phase of life beyond.
I founded The Pink Zones to ensure that every woman navigating menopause and beyond feels seen, supported, and celebrated. My hope is for this space to become a hub for education, empowerment, and discovering new ways to approach this part of life with joy.
Here, you'll find insights backed by research, community conversations, and resources to embrace this stage of life. I'll cover topics relevant to finding and fostering The Pink Zones, stories I have gathered from women elders, anti-dotes and alternative perspectives to the anti-aging narrative, insights and research studies, articles and books I read, from podcasts I listen to (check out our podcast club!)AND I want your input to shape the topics we explore.
I’m thrilled to share this with you and to have you along for the journey.
Together, we’ll try out new formats and approaches, and I truly welcome your feedback.
Together in the Pink Zones, we have the power to reshape midlife+ aging into a time of growth and joy. Let’s create something lasting that enriches our lives and inspires those who come after us.
The Pink Zones Podcast Club is a community of women who are podcast enthusiasts coming together for meaningful discussions centred around specific themes that relate to fostering more Pink Zones, the places and conditions that support women thriving in midlife and beyond.
Each month, we dive into a theme explored in 2 different hand-picked podcast episodes.
It’s just like a book club, but for podcasts: members listen to the selected episodes at their own pace and then we gather on a video call to discuss.
