Meet Kelly

What do you want the world to know about perimenopause, menopause, and anything that comes after?

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause is very common. It affects 50-80% of women post menopause. And the symptoms can start prior to the stop of your periods, in the perimenopause years. I like to think of vaginal estrogen as preventative care, like flossing, sunscreen and seatbelts.

What are your go-to's for health and wellness?

My go-tos are a good silicone or oil based lube, yoga and mindfulness, and my book and podcast for more evidence based info around female sexuality (You Are Not Broken).

Because I believe vaginal estrogen should be accessible and affordable to whomever wants it.
