Are you Ready to Stop Feeling Like a Stranger in your Midlife Body?

“Perimenopause IS FUN!” said just about no woman ever.

I get it.  This is the phase of life I’m in too. Right around the ripe old age of 41, things started changing. I had no idea what was going on inside my body, but I was looking in the mirror at someone I didn’t recognize.

Tell me if this sounds familiar:

You are exhausted. Your pants continue to feel tighter and tighter. You go between crying uncontrollably and lashing out at your family. You can’t remember the last time you weren’t awake at 3am riddled with anxiety. Your body aches, your hair is thinning, and your periods have you feeling like you are back in your teen years. Why didn’t anyone tell us this was coming?

Or, maybe you feel like EVERYONE is talking about this and you just don’t know what to believe…

The worst part is - you’ve been doing all the things you used to do in the past. Exercise more and eat less, but the top button still won’t close on your favorite jeans. 

But what if there was another way?

  • ONE place you could go, away from social media to figure it all out.

  • A space created for you to listen to YOUR intuition about your health and make decisions that work for YOU.

  • A space to find a community and talk through your experience, judgement-free, so you could lean into connections with other women.

What if I created a space where you could have direct access to all the resources you need AND someone qualified to answer your questions?

Imagine being able to:

  • love the body you see in the mirror

  • walk into the doctor’s office and know exactly what questions to ask

  • find relief from your itchy ears and skin

  • allow yourself to sit on the couch at the end of the evening, and not feel guilty about it

  • have ways to fight the stubborn midsection fluff

  • navigate family discussions without exploding

  • fall asleep easily without your 3am anxiety wakeup

  • create a sustainable lifestyle that enables you to be active well into retirement years

INTRODUCING:

The Women Mastering Midlife Community

A judgment-free space that mutes society's expectations of what midlife "should" be, and equips you with knowledge and resources to make perimenopause the beautiful transition you deserve.

What makes us different?

We provide not only prescriptive care suggestions with research backed evidence, we will also be a place to find lifestyle solutions that can help improve your symptoms.

Other communities out there are run by influencers with no clinical background or advanced training, they offer one track of thinking, or they don’t combine all aspects of health and wellness WITH a community of women for support and connection. 

Together, we will mute out the noise of diet culture and the societal ideas that women should be small, quiet, and fade into the background as we age. 

Together, we will age BOLDLY.

REAL RESULTS

Working with Vicky has been great! She helped educate me on healthy protein options that I didn’t know existed for someone who is semi-vegetarian. She was easily accessible via messaging and was very helpful with quick and easy meal prep ideas for this busy mom of 3! Going through pre-perimenopause is not easy, but having Vicky on my side has made it much more bearable. She is very knowledgeable in her field and makes you feel good about yourself as you navigate your personal health and/or weight loss journey. I highly recommend working with her. - 47 year old wife and mother of 3

  • Improve your brain fog symptoms.

  • Connect you with other women in a judgment free space.

…so that you can truly THRIVE in midlife!

This community will guide you through the 5 Pillars of Menopausal Health:

  • We talk about dietary theories that not only have research backed data to improve midlife women’s health, but we share recipes that MAKE SENSE with our budgets, families, and time. You are invited to decide how you want to approach nutrition on YOUR terms. Do you want to track macro nutrients and food? Do you want to learn about portions and how to eat intuitively? Do you want to change your body composition and increase muscle mass? These are some of the questions you can ask yourself and listen to your inner voice to decide. No one here will tell you the BEST way to eat. You know your BEST way.

  • We will talk about stress, overwhelm and burnout. We will talk about different methods to mitigate stress in your life. There is no such thing as a stress-free life, but we can work on finding the methods that best suit your life to mitigate that stress.

  • Let’s face it. Women don’t sleep in midlife. And when we worry about how little sleep we get…yup- MORE STRESS! In our community, you will find resources to develop better sleep habits.

  • We will talk about the importance of strength training, stability and flexibility so that we remain mobile well into our later years. Functional exercises to keep your bones strong, muscles from wasting away, and you carrying all your groceries into the house by yourself. We will create habits to keep you chasing grandkids, traveling the world, and doing the work you love.

  • There are many components to a midlife woman’s life. Our parents are aging, our children are growing up and leaving the house, we may find relationships dissolving or searching for new ones. In an ever connected world, we are more lonely than ever. Building the community to connect with each other will bring us together during a transition that often has you feeling you are left to figure it out alone. Finding passions, having FUN, career pivots…nothing is off the table of discussion.

Here’s what you’re going to get when you join us:

  • A continuously expanding resource library to fully equip you with knowledge and tactics on all 5 of the Menopause Pillars of Health

  • 90 simple and quick recipes to support your perimenopausal nutrition (with more loading each month!)

  • A guide to strength training to give you a full body plan based on your level of experience.

  • Guest experts on midlife health and wellness topics like sexual health, parenting teenagers, and managing stress.

REAL RESULTS

I started working with Victoria in January 2023 after many years of relatively healthy eating. I had followed programs that were effective for me in my 30s (losing 50+ lbs once and then again after 2 pregnancies), but I had learned how to take some shortcuts and needed a new approach to my nutrition & fitness. 

Enter Victoria and my introduction to macros. It was certainly a topic I had seen on social media, but one that felt too intimidating for me to entertain. She was able to make it easy to incorporate into my life by offering great recipe ideas, grocery shopping suggestions  and meal planning tips balanced with support & guidance along the way. -AC

Meet Your Mentor!

I’m Victoria - a mom, wife of 17 years, an audible binger, an amateaur chef, podcast host, and always dreaming of making it to space. 

I grew up moving to all different parts of the US. Midwest born, Southern raised, and Pacific Northwesterner by marriage, I have seen so many different ways of life in our country.

The only job I ever had from the age of 16 was working in a pharmacy. I did all the jobs from cashier up to pharmacy manager. I loved working in retail pharmacies to create a connection with my patients that came in to see me every month. Watching my clients’ children grow up, getting tins of cookies during the holidays, and even birthday cards in July… I knew being a community pharmacist was so much more than counting by 5s and slapping labels on bottles.

…but after having my family, time out of the pharmacy, and learning about how nutrition and lifestyle can make such an impact on overall health, I knew my true passion was connecting prescriptive care with holistic options for women- and in building this community I am again offered the opportunity to connect and develop relationships with women.

I took my 28 years in pharmacy, my certifications as an Integrative Women’s Health Coach, Behavior Change Specialist, Nutrition & Macronutrient Coach, and Perimenopause and Longevity Specialist, and my 5 years coaching clients to create this community of resource, connection and access to women’s health and wellness.

I will never regret my choice to hang up my white coat and stay home with the girls. I always say Pharmacist by training, Stay Home Mom by choice. But now that they are older, the world looks a little different, (thanks 2020) and the muzzles are off women talking about perimenopause and menopause, my time has come to get back to caring for the health and well being of others. 

I believe in the changes you will not only see in your health, but your outlook on aging. A perspective shift happens when women focus on longevity and healthspan. 

I cannot wait to walk alongside you in this journey.  Just know I’ll be cheering (often loudly) for you, every step of the way.

XO, Victoria

Women Mastering Midlife is NOT for everyone, so before you decide to join us you should know that:

Women Mastering Midlife IS for the women:

  • Who are in midlife trying to understand what in the world is going on in her body

  • Who want to be a part of a supportive community to share an experience

  • That wish to create a plan for health and wellness and become their best advocate for the next doctor visit

  • That are fed up with the noise on the internet, the “meno influencers” selling products, and the lose weight fast schemes out there to put them on a useless supplement or ridiculous diet.

  • Who want access to a menopause expert to ask questions and gain insight without paying an exorbitant fee

  • That want recipes, workouts, and lifestyle guides at their fingertips

Women Mastering Midlife IS NOT for:

  • The lucky 15% of women who reach menopause without life changing symptoms

  • Nurses, coaches, or other menopause experts unless you join as a woman wanting connection and support- not CME.

  • The women who don’t want to have access to podcast guests and experts for deeper dives and q&a’s

  • The “Negative Nancies” out there who are unsupportive and come to the community day in and day out with bad attitudes. 

  • A woman who doesn’t feel her health is worth $1 a day

  • Someone not concerned with longevity or staying healthy for decades

  • The women who have perimenopause all figured out

Here’s why you need to get inside Women Mastering Midlife TODAY…

In a world where companies have realized the billions of dollars they could make off the desperation of women in search of feeling better during menopause, buying a community membership doesn’t sound like an expense worth making.

BUT - what if that nominal monthly fee could save you YEARS of spinning your wheels, trying to figure out how to navigate this perimenopause roller coaster and save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars of wasted money buying products and plans that won’t truly offer you the support you deserve?

I’m here to tell you…  it will do that and then some.

The best time to get started feeling better was yesterday.  The second best time to get started is today.

REAL RESULTS

Working with Victoria is like working with one of your best friends. She understands exactly what you are going through because she is going through this right along with you. Victoria is extremely knowledgeable in her field. Having a medical background, she is very knowledgeable about what holistic and pharmaceutical medicines would be beneficial or harmful to a woman going through menopause. She listens to all of your concerns and focuses on how to help you instead of suggesting a medicine or a pill. Most of the time, her suggestions are small changes in your nutrition or workout routine that will make all the difference such as adding more protein into your daily consumption. Victoria is a wealth of knowledge and has experienced so much throughout her career. She not only offers invaluable advice but she also practices what she preaches. I have never had a health provider or health coach who has guided me on a path to be my best self. Because of her, I am currently at my strongest and healthiest self. -DG

FAQ’S

You have questions…I have answers.

  • For less than $1 a day, gain access to expert advice, a supportive community, and resources worth hundreds. It’s far less than the cost of 1:1 coaching.

  • Our strict confidentiality guidelines ensure a safe space for open discussion. What happens in Women Mastering Midlife stays in Women Mastering Midlife.

  • I received a BS in Pharmacy from the St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 2004. I have been a licensed pharmacist in multiple states since that time and have kept a current license in MO and WA which require continuing education credits each year. I received a Health Coach certificate from IIN. I later received a certification in Women’s Integrative Health Coaching from the Integrative Women’s Health Institute which is accredited by the NBHWC. I recertify that every 3 years with continuing education credits. The last time I renewed I received my certificate in Perimenopause and Menopause education as well as a Longevity course. I received a Nutrition Coach and Behavior Change Specialist Certification from NASM.
