WOMEN+ DESERVE BETTER
TAKE CHARGE

Women+ deserve better! For far too long, the support we need during the menopause journey has been inadequate, often reduced to a one-size-fits-all approach.

We know every menopause journey is unique, just like the women+ who go through it. It’s time for a place where care, community, an environment that’s welcoming to all, and real answers meet—an accessible, empowering destination designed for this natural stage of life.

pausitive health was born out of frustration because I’ve seen the consequences of women+ not having access to the right resources. Despite asking for help—despite working with healthcare professionals—we can be left unheard and without the support we need and deserve.

My wake-up call came when a close friend shared her story, one emblematic of the variety of experiences of so many others. She viewed the menopause journey as a normal part of the life cycle, not a disease. Although she was dealing with common menopausal symptoms—hot flashes, night sweats—that robbed her of sleep and energy, she had found a way to manage them that worked for her and to her satisfaction.

Yet, during every doctor’s visit, both her PCP and OB-GYN insisted she go on hormone therapy (HT). And this was at a time when a major study had been misinterpreted, leading most people, including medical professionals, to believe the risks of HT were too great to outweigh its potential benefits.

When she declined, her OB-GYN became visibly angry, unwilling to explore other options, unwilling to listen.

Hearing her story left me incensed—and motivated. No one should have to fight for the right to make informed decisions about their own health. It did not have to be this way.

The healthcare system is too frequently ill-equipped to address the unmet needs of those on the menopause journey, an experience all will have if they live long enough. Women+ deserve better.

The solution? pausitive health.
