About the author
Studying the classical texts of Chinese medicine opened her eyes to a different medical lens, one that sees the body as a dynamic, interconnected system where hormones, gut health, metabolism and emotional balance are deeply intertwined.
Her work is driven by a deep commitment to helping women replace the turmoil of perimenopause with peace.
