Becoming Mothers Counseling

09/01/2026

I am so excited to share that I will be part of the Women’s Health & Empowerment Summit next month, alongside HotPause Health, Womaness, and an incredible group of women’s health experts at the OFJCC Leslie Family Preschool.

📍 Oshman Family JCC, Palo Alto
📅 Thursday, September 17, 2026
⏰ 5:30–9:00 PM
🎟️ Tickets: https://lnkd.in/g8aqT2xU

Women in peri/menopause can experience changes in sleep, mood, metabolism, sexual health, pelvic health, skin, bone health and so much more, all while trying to figure out what’s normal, what isn’t, and what they can actually do about it.

And too often, women are left trying to piece all of this together on their own.

That’s why I love this event. We’re bringing women together in-person with clinicians who actually understand women’s health and midlife, so we can have real, evidence-based conversations and answer the questions women are already asking.

I am especially looking forward to hearing Beverly Joyce, MD, FACOG, MSCP give the keynote. Bev is an incredible OB/GYN and menopause expert, and I cannot wait to hear her perspective.

And look at this panel lineup:

🩺 Women’s Health, Menopause & Preventative Care
Prerana Sangani Shenoy will talk about hormones, symptoms, treatment options, screenings, and what women should be thinking about for their long-term health.

❤️ Pelvic, Sexual & Bone Health
Tanya Goodrich, PT, DPT Healthy Pelvis Physical Therapy
I’ll be talking about pelvic health, bone health and osteoporosis — including why strength and maintaining our physical capacity matter so much as we move through midlife.

🧠 Mental Health & Menopause
Marnie Levenson, MA, LPCC, PMH-C and Nicole Ohebshalom, PhD, LPCC, RN, PMH-C will explore the intersection of hormones and mental health, including anxiety, mood changes, rage and depression in midlife.

✨ Skin, Aging & Longevity
Corinne Erickson, MD, FAAD will talk about menopause, skin, hair and collagen.
Lauren Greenberg MD, MD will dig into longevity, body composition, hormones, bone and cardiovascular health.

👩‍⚕️ Fertility & the Reproductive Transition
Sara Vaughn, MD will unpack fertility, hormones and what changes as we move through perimenopause.

And Sally Mueller from Womaness will be joining the conversation as well and sharing some of what Womaness has learned from creating products specifically for women in this stage of life.

Every session will include live audience Q&A.

A huge thank you to Melissa Oliveira and Stacey Ulacia of HotPause Health, Carolina Hahn and the Oshman Family JCC, and Sally from Womaness for helping bring this event together. And yes, Womaness will be treating everyone to some incredible samples, so the swag bags are going to be GOOD.

Come for the experts. Stay for the community, the conversation — and the very fancy swag bags.

An Empowering Prenatal Experience

Gather in community with other expectant mothers to celebrate your pregnancy and honor your matrescence, the developmental rite of passage to becoming a mother. The ceremony will feature a mother's tea circle and fear releasing meditation. We will use the power of ritual through the red thread ceremony and mindfully craft hope-infused birthing bracelets. Through the art of circling, women are encouraged to share their truths, be witnessed by others, and experience a profound sense of connection and wisdom.

Opening the doors to my new therapy office in Redwood City has been a labor of love—a deeply personal journey that has been months in the making. What started as a single, bare room has now transformed into a space of healing and safety, a place where women can find support, validation, and empowerment in their journey through motherhood.

The transformation of this space was a family effort. Over the course of several months, we replaced the flooring, painted the walls, carefully selected furniture, and added warm, inviting decor. Every brushstroke, every piece of furniture, and every detail in the room was chosen with intention—to create a space where women feel seen, heard, and understood. Thank you to my community, who played a role in bringing this vision to life, making this space not only one of healing but also of love and dedication.
