Why Did I Become a Certified Menopause Specialist?
Menopause is a transformative stage in a woman’s life that affects every woman differently. In my opinion, there isn’t enough support out there for women at this stage in life. As a Menopause Specialist, I can play a vital role in understanding and addressing the specific needs of women going through this transition. Here are a few reasons why obtaining certification was important to me.
Expertise and Knowledge:
Becoming a Menopause Specialist equips me with in-depth knowledge about menopause, its physical and emotional aspects, as well as the extensive challenges a women may face at this time in her life. By providing evidence-based guidance and support, I hope to help women navigate this transformative phase with confidence, patience, and grace.
2. Empowering Women
With this certification, I have the opportunity to empower women to reclaim their health and well-being throughout the menopause journey. Menopause is often looked at through a negative lens and I want to change the narrative. While menopause may be unpleasant at times it’s an opportunity to tune into our bodies and become advocates for ourselves.
However, we often put our needs last. At this stage in our lives, it’s time to flip the script. It’s our responsibility to put the time and effort we have poured into others into ourselves. I plan to provide my clients with tools, resources, and strategies to do just that. My goal is to give women the power to manage their unique symptoms, maintain fitness, and prioritize self-care.
3. Filling a Gap in the Healthcare System:
Menopausal women are an underserved population in our healthcare system. As a certified Menopause Specialist, I can contribute to filling this gap, ensuring women receive the comprehensive support and care they want, need, and absolutely deserve.
