we are INTERWOVXN.
Studies show that women in their 30’s and 40’s feel more under-supported than ever–
we want to change that… we need to change that.
From menstrual health and fertility to motherhood, perimenopause, and breast health, we have the right to understand our bodies and can change the narrative of middle life. This is an age of multiple roles, new health matters and realities, and an evolving self-awareness. We are aging. Our bodies are changing. Our identities are shifting, but we are not becoming invisible.
Let’s find ways to adapt to the converging stages of womanhood and thrive in the chaos. With this space, we want to share and discuss the things that make a woman’s middle life rich and textured (and sometimes a little bumpy). Why us? As a women’s health acupuncturist (Rebecca) and a postpartum doula/motherhood practitioner (Theresa), we have decades of work between us supporting women through life transitions and pivotal moments. We have crossed through early middle life and are beginning our chapters of late middle life. We have seen and experienced the gaps of information and lack of preparation and conversation as women move into and through this phase of life. It took time for us to develop our thoughts and language around this journey, but we want to help other women bridge the gaps to minimize the crisis and emphasize the enjoyment.
