Hi, I am Leila

Science-backed guidance for women navigating perimenopause and menopause — in life, at work, and everywhere in between.

I believe your symptoms are not the problem. The lack of understanding is.

You're not falling apart. You're in transition — one of the most significant biological shifts a woman's body will ever make. And you're likely navigating it with too much conflicting information, too little practical support, and a world that was never designed with this season of your life in mind.

I built this work for that exact moment.

Whether you're a woman experiencing it personally, a group of women ready to understand it together, or a company watching its most experienced female talent quietly struggle — the conversation starts here.

Three ways we can work together

Women navigating perimenopause and menopause personally You're intelligent and capable — and something has shifted. Your sleep, your focus, your mood, your body. You want real answers, not another protocol to add to your list. I offer science-backed education and coaching that helps you understand what's happening and build a foundation that actually works for your life.

Groups, retreat leaders and event organizers You're creating space for women to learn and connect. I bring honest, research-grounded education on perimenopause, menopause, hormones, and midlife wellness to workshops, retreats, and professional events — the kind that leaves women feeling informed, empowered, and ready to take action.

Organizations and corporate leaders Your most experienced women are navigating menopause at the peak of their careers — and most companies haven't yet created the culture or environment to support them fully. I help organizations open the conversation, educate their teams, and build workplaces where women in midlife can do their best work and choose to stay. This is a retention opportunity. A performance opportunity. And one of the most meaningful investments a company can make right now.

How I got here

I am a woman in midlife. I know this terrain from the inside.

And I've spent years building the expertise to understand it from the outside too — studying the biology, the hormones, the nervous system, the metabolic shifts, and the ways each system connects to every other. Because perimenopause and menopause are not isolated events. They touch everything.

I've worked in commercial real estate for nearly a decade — which gave me an unexpected lens. I started to see clearly how the spaces women occupy, the cultures they work inside, and the environments companies create either support or undermine women's health during this transition. That perspective now shapes how I work with organizations — bridging the human health piece with the practical, structural realities of workplace life.

I also spent five years as an advisor in the development of an active skincare brand, working directly on formulations designed for women's skin — which deepened my understanding of how internal health shows up externally, and how interconnected every system truly is.

What I bring is rare: deep expertise in women's midlife health, a coaching approach rooted in behavior change, and a real-world understanding of the professional environments where most women spend the majority of their waking hours.

I'm not here to add more to your plate. I'm here to help things finally make sense.

What I teach -The 5 Foundations of Midlife Women's Health

Everything I teach is rooted in one core belief: your body's systems are not separate problems to fix one by one. They are a connected whole — and when you understand how they work together, everything changes.

Nervous System & Sleep The foundation everything else is built on. Perimenopause disrupts both — and most women don't know why, or what to do about it.

Intelligent Movement Not just exercise. Movement that communicates with your hormones, your metabolism, your mood, and your longevity. This is not about doing more — it's about moving smarter.

Hormones, Gut & Metabolic Health The internal environment that determines how you feel, absorb, age, and heal. This is the core of perimenopause and menopause — and where most women have the most questions and the least reliable answers.

Mindset & Connection The psychological and emotional dimension of this transition is real, significant, and almost entirely underaddressed. Sustainable habits, self-relationship, and community are not soft additions — they are essential.

Skin Health What your skin reveals about your hormonal and internal environment. Not a cosmetic conversation — a health conversation.
