Hello! My name is Maura and here is my story…

My professional journey has been anything but traditional—and that’s exactly what gives me the perspective I bring to my work as a menopause coach today.

For many years, I built a robust career in public health, specializing in maternal and child health behavior research. As my career evolved, so did my passion for creativity, and fashion. I transitioned into building my own personal wardrobe styling business. As a stylist,  I discovered another dimension of helping women: supporting them to feel confident, vibrant, and fully themselves in how they present to the world. 

My first awakening to perimenopause was experiencing painful sex and having chronic UTIs, mood swings, hot flashes, and brain fog.  After going back and forth to several doctors we realized that I had low estrogen, low progesterone-  my peri-menopause was in full swing! Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) kept me off of the endless rounds of antibiotics and saved me from terrible gut issues as a result of too many antibiotics.  It was a difficult time for me but I realized that other women were likely going through similar agony. WE NEED TO DO BETTER - we need better medical education for doctors, better lifestyle information and support for women experiencing peri/menopause. I knew I wanted to help other peri/menopausal women. Eager to learn more about lifestyle changes (nutritional intake, movement, sleep hygiene, nervous system regulation) I earned my Menopause Coaching certification over a two year period. 

 In my coaching I bring  together—science and style, health and self-expression. Menopause is not just a physical transition; it touches every part of life, from how your body feels to how you see yourself in the mirror. My mission is to help women move through this stage with knowledge, confidence, and grace—equipping them with both practical strategies and the compassionate support they deserve.

Like so many women, I’ve experienced the changes, challenges, and surprises that come with menopause. But I also know it can be a time of empowerment, renewal, and a new chapter filled with joy.
