There’s something about the fall that naturally asks us to slow down. The light starts to shift, the days feel shorter, and we begin to turn inward a bit. This season is such a good time to check in with ourselves. I even have to remind myself to check in! Are we getting enough rest? Are our routines still working? Sometimes wellness looks like carving out ten minutes for a quiet walk or making a warm breakfast instead of rushing out the door. It does not have to be complicated. Fall is an invitation to come back to what feels steady and supportive. We are about to enter a busy season, and it helps to pause before the rush begins.

As a mom, I’ve learned that those first few minutes after school can really set the tone for the rest of the afternoon. One of the easiest ways I’ve found to make things smoother is having a healthy snack ready when the kids walk in the door. They’re always hungry after school, and if there’s a plate of fruit, veggies, or something simple like hummus and crackers already out, that’s usually what they reach for first. It doesn’t have to be fancy or perfectly planned, just something easy I can prep in a few minutes. Some days I get home early enough to straighten up a little, turn on the diffuser, and make the space feel calm, some days I don’t. But even when everything else feels busy, having that snack ready is one small way I can care for all of us.

So many women ask me about menstrual cups, and I get why. They're reusable, made of silicone or rubber, and can stay in for six to twelve hours. They hold more than pads or tampons, and once you figure out the fit and the fold that works for your body, they can be a total game changer. A lot of people say they feel cleaner, more in control, and love the freedom they offer. If you've been curious but unsure where to start, I'm happy to walk you through what to expect and how to find one that works for you.

One of the things I love about offering GYN care at The Village Midwife is how personal and respectful it can be. Did you know you can insert your own speculum during a pelvic exam? Or that some people may not need a speculum at all for a pap smear? These options are gentle and supportive, especially for those who've had uncomfortable experiences in the past. You deserve care that centers your comfort and consent. If you've been avoiding these visits because they felt too clinical or too rushed, this is your reminder that there's another way. It matters to me that every person feels safe and listened to during their visit. That's the standard of care we're proud to offer.

Sleep is one of the most powerful tools we have when it comes to feeling well. It affects your energy, mood, focus, metabolism, and your hormones too. When someone tells me they just don't feel like themselves, sleep is always one of the first things we talk about.

Are you falling asleep easily? Are you waking up in the night? Do you feel rested in the morning or still exhausted? These questions matter.

If you've been feeling off and you're not sure why, sleep might be the place to start. It may seem simple, but it's often one of the first places your body tries to send you a message.

I love watching women in their 40s start to reclaim their space and energy. It’s not always easy, but it’s often the first time in a long while where there’s room to breathe. This is such a good time to start checking in again. What makes you feel strong? What kind of meals give you steady energy? What movement feels good in your body? You get to make this chapter yours. What would you love to make time for this season?

Nutrition advice can feel overwhelming when you're already stretched thin. I get it. You're not looking for a perfect meal plan or a fridge full of prepped containers. You just want to feel good and know what you're eating is working for your body. That starts with tuning in.

What meals help you feel steady through the afternoon? What snacks keep you from crashing at 3 pm? It doesn't have to be complicated. A few go-to meals, a stocked freezer, and knowing what your body responds well to can make a big difference. If you’re still figuring out what that looks like for you, I’m always happy to help you simplify it.

Ran the Suffolk County Half Marathon with my sister-in-law, Maura, and I’m feeling so grateful for what this 45-year-old body can do. Thirteen point one miles of steady effort and a full heart. This race was especially meaningful since it supports local veterans. Running for a cause that honors service and dedication added even more purpose to every mile.

Grateful for the movement, the strength, and the reminder that age isn’t a limit. It’s proof of everything we’ve built along the way.

One of the things I’ve loved about Pilates twice a week is how it fits into my life. I go early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and it’s become a little routine that grounds me for the rest of the week. As a mom, I know how hard it can be to find time for yourself, but carving out those two mornings has been such a gift.

I go to , and Judi, the owner and instructor, has created the most welcoming space. She’s also a physical therapist, so she understands the body in a way that helps you move safely and with purpose. Her classes are the perfect mix of challenging and restorative, and I always leave feeling more present in my own body.

And honestly, that’s what I’ve learned about movement. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to happen. Showing up, even when you’re tired or short on time, is what builds strength and consistency. If you’ve been trying to fit it in, this is your reminder that small, steady effort adds up.

Bonus: the dog Charlie hangs out in the office downstairs and always comes up for a visit.

Perimenopause does not always come in loud or obvious. Sometimes it starts with feeling more tired than usual. Or having a shorter fuse. Or waking up at three in the morning for no reason at all. You might not connect the dots right away, and that is completely normal.

This transition can last a few years or a full decade. It is different for everyone. But if you are feeling off and not sure why, it is okay to ask questions. I start with the basics. Food, sleep, movement, nervous system support. If you are wondering if what you are feeling could be perimenopause, we can figure that out together.

I found The Metabolism Plan more than ten years ago, and it completely changed the way I think about food. It helped me realize that not all “healthy” foods are healthy for everyone. Just because something works well for one person does not mean it works for your body.

What I love about this approach is that it starts with real observation. How does this food make you feel? Are you more tired after you eat it? Do you feel bloated or foggy? Are your symptoms better or worse the next day? It helps you connect the dots between what you eat and how your body responds.

Now, I eat based on what works for me. I keep my go-to foods on hand, and I feel better when I stay in tune with what my body is asking for. If you are curious about what this could look like for you, or if you have been trying to figure out why you do not feel great after eating “healthy,” I would be happy to share more about it. This has been such a helpful tool for me, and I love helping others figure out what works for them too.
