What Is Menopause?
Menopause marks the natural end of menstruation and the reproductive cycle. It’s officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. But menopause isn’t just a moment in time—it’s a multi-phase journey:
Perimenopause
Hormonal shifts begin, often bringing symptoms like irregular periods, mood changes, night sweats, and sleep disruptions.
Menopause
Postmenopause
The decades that follow, offering new possibilities for growth, clarity, and renewal.
By 2050, the number of postmenopausal women will either equal or surpass women in their reproductive years.

It’s time we stop viewing menopause as decline—and start honoring it as transformation.
Menopause isn’t a disease.
It’s a rite of passage.
And it deserves to be respected, supported, and celebrated.
Facing Menopause: A Journey of Transformation
Menopause isn’t just about hormones—it’s about identity, relationships, aging, and how you see yourself in the world. It can feel like everything is changing—because it is.
This transition, though often misunderstood, is rich with meaning. Beneath the surface symptoms lies an invitation to return to your essence, release old roles, and step into your wisdom years with strength and grace.
At My Positive Pause, we honor this passage as sacred. Together, we’ll navigate the discomfort, celebrate your resilience, and discover what’s next.
Your Positive Pause starts here—with clarity, connection, and real tools for change.
Why Coaching for Menopause?
Menopause is a natural transition, yet many women feel confused, dismissed, or pressured to “fix” it with pharmaceuticals. Rarely is it seen as a sacred opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign.
My philosophy is simple: you don’t have to be medicated to manage your menopause symptoms.
Holistic coaching offers compassionate support for the emotional, physical, and spiritual shifts of this stage. Together, we explore natural, practical tools to ease symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disruption—while helping you reconnect with your power and purpose.
Menopause isn’t something to survive.
It’s an invitation to evolve. Let’s navigate it together—with clarity, confidence, and grace—so you feel at peace in your body and empowered in your life.

About Me
Hi, I am Tammie a holistic coach with a Master’s in Holistic Health Education and certifications in health coaching and yoga. I guide women through the spiritual, emotional, and physical terrain of menopause.
My journey: I thought menopause would last six weeks. A few hot flashes, some mood swings, and I’d move on. But when it didn’t pass, I knew something deeper was at play. After leaving Maui, moving to San Francisco at 52 and entering graduate school, I found myself in the midst of hormonal chaos, grief, and transformation. Despite trying everything—juicing, running, more yoga, even pharmaceuticals—I still felt disconnected and spiritually flat.
That’s when I got curious.
Through research, self-inquiry, and soul-nourishing travels to India, Nepal, Thailand, Bali, Peru, and Vietnam, I discovered menopause isn’t something to fix—it’s an initiation. A sacred pause. A cultural redefinition.
If you’re navigating symptoms like weight gain, sleep disruptions, irritability, or unexpected waves of emotion, you’re not alone. Most women come to me when they feel disconnected from themselves and ready to go deeper.
Today, I help women move beyond symptom-chasing into soul-aligned living—blending nourishment, movement, mindfulness, and spiritual insight to support your most powerful chapter yet.
Menopause isn’t something to fix—it’s a sacred transition. A time to pause, listen, and realign with who you’re becoming.
This isn’t the end of anything—it’s a beginning. A powerful, purposeful, peaceful new chapter. Let’s walk this together.
