Reclaim Your Energy, Confidence, and Joy in Midlife

 

Menopause doesn’t have to mean losing yourself. Hot flashes, brain fog, sleep struggles, weight gain, mood swings — these aren’t “just part of getting older.”

As an Occupational Therapist with 20+ years of experience and specialized training in menopause coaching, I help clients see the whole picture — not just the hot flashes, but how menopause impacts sleep, energy, work, relationships, and mood. You don’t have to suffer through this stage of life! I can help you integrate evidence-based lifestyle modifications to improve your quality of life. 

The truth? Most women are never given the tools, knowledge, or support they need to thrive in midlife. Menopause requires action. And when you take it? Thriving in midlife is absolutely possible.

What Menopause Coaching Is

Menopause coaching is a partnership that helps you move from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to confident and in control. Together, we’ll create a personalized action plan tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals—so you know exactly what steps to take next. With the right knowledge, tools, and support, you can feel like yourself again in perimenopause and menopause.

 

Here’s how it works:

1. Your Story Comes First

Every journey starts with you. In our first session, we’ll talk about your history, your current symptoms, your daily routines, and—most importantly—your goals. Whether it’s improving your energy, sleeping better, managing hot flashes, or building strength, we’ll create a clear picture of where you are now and where you want to go.

2. A Personalized Action Plan

After listening to your story, I’ll help you build a practical plan tailored to your needs. We’ll start small—simple, doable steps that fit into your real life, not someone else’s idea of “perfect.” You’ll leave your first session with concrete next steps you can feel confident about.

3. Ongoing Support & Accountability

Coaching isn’t just about one session. With weekly or biweekly coaching calls, plus support between sessions, I’ll help you stay on track, troubleshoot challenges, and celebrate wins. You’ll always know your next step forward.

4. A Whole-Person Approach

As an occupational therapist and certified menopause coach, I don’t just hand you information. I help you apply it in ways that actually work for your body, your lifestyle, and your responsibilities. It’s not about pushing harder—it’s about working smarter, with the right knowledge, tools, and mindset.

Menopause coaching is about partnership. Together, we’ll take the confusion and frustration out of this transition and build a roadmap that helps you feel like yourself again—stronger, clearer, and more confident.

Hi, I'm Julie Parana! 

At 42, I had a hysterectomy that sent me into early menopause. Although my doctor reassured me my hormones wouldn’t be affected because my ovaries were left intact, within weeks I was struggling with brain fog, sleepless nights, weight gain and skin issues. When bloodwork confirmed I was post-menopausal, I felt lost and frustrated — like no one had prepared me for this.

As an Occupational Therapist with over 20 years of experience in adult rehabilitation, I decided to take my wellbeing into my own hands. I researched everything I could about menopause, began hormone therapy, and made powerful lifestyle changes that completely transformed how I felt.

Now, as a Certified Menopause Coach with over 200 hours of specialist training, I help women navigate menopause with confidence and clarity. Through my six pillars of wellness — mindset, nervous system regulation, stress management, sleep hygiene, nutrition and movement — I guide women to feel strong, balanced and like themselves again.
