Celebrating 20 years
Hi, I'm Michelle Prince and I introduced Holistic Menopause in 2004.
I appreciate your confidence in me as your guide on this wildly adventurous journey traveled exclusively by women in perimenopause and menopause.
In 2004, I was among just a handful of women online talking about menopause, and the word perimenopause wasn't used much yet. Today, you'll find a head-spinning amount of information, but you must choose wisely. Marketing campaigns that target hormonal women willing to try anything to feel better are very compelling!
You've probably already spent money on trial-and-error approaches without results. I did before learning that one-size-fits-all cookie-cutter products for symptom relief often don't work. Why? Because you and your experience are unique! And, that's why what helps your friend feel better can make you feel worse. You are unique.
I'm a down-to-earth, expansive thinker with a big heart and curious mind, who thrives on learning new things, gets totally lost in research, and is passionate about sharing the empowering wisdom I've gathered with other women.
Over 20 years ago when I realized I was in perimenopause, I was fortunate to have a background in holistic health and the healing arts. Although I had been working in the Natural Products Industry with leading supplement, herb, and body care brands for well over a decade, I had absolutely no idea how to address my symptoms.
So, I dove deep into research to learn safe and effective approaches for symptom relief and natural hormonal balance. I've been guiding women through "the change" since 2004. I'm here for you too.
When I reached perimenopause over 20 years ago, it was as if I'd embarked on a long journey with no map and without having packed a thing. How could I know what to pack? This was a mysterious journey no one ever talked about.
Completely unprepared, it felt like I was trying to find my way through a barren desert. Like I was alone without footsteps to follow, climbing tall dunes and getting nowhere. I was alone, lost, confused, and frightened.
Despite a holistic health and healing arts background, I had no idea which way to go or what to do. But, I did know for certain that taking a holistic approach to the natural life transition of menopause was the only direction for me to go in.
I realized that like me, the entire baby boom generation of women must be feeling lost. So, I combined my wellness background and experience in the Natural Products Industry with countless hours of research to introduce Holistic Menopause in 2004.
With 35 years of experience as a holistic health student, practitioner, and teacher, and over 22 years in the Natural Products Industry working with supplement, herb, and body brands, I help take the guesswork out of the confusing task of deciding which products to use and the brands to choose for the best results possible.
If you're considering working with me, here are some things to know...
I'm not a licensed doctor or mental health professional
I've just been practicing holistic health and the healing arts for over 35 years and I've made the long journey through menopause. I'm a research nerd passionate about supporting women during this often challenging time of life.
I practice an abundance of caution
If you have health conditions or use prescribed medications, I check carefully for contraindications with any supplements and herbs I recommend. Keeping you safe is my top priority.
I'm super picky about ingredients
I know what ingredients and formulations bring the best results and I've worked with some great brands I trust. I only recommend what I'm confident will be supportive. I'll also scrutinize the ingredients in the products you use and your diet to identify potential endocrine disruptors.
Symptom relief and preventative care are my focus
While relieving your symptoms and achieving natural hormonal balance is key, strategies to help prevent hormone-related health conditions in the future and establishing long-term wellness are at the heart of my work.
The products I recommend are easy to source
I make it easy to find the products I recommend with handy links to Amazon or the online store of your choice. Many of the items I recommend can be found at Whole Foods or your local health food or vitamin store.
I don't represent or recommend Network Marketing products
To pay their distributors these companies charge a premium for their products and the cost often far outweighs the quality. It's a policy I've had for 20 years and it helps with the requests I get to promote products in my Facebook group.

Online Retreat, Personal Consultations, Workshops, and Renewal Retreats.
With my healthy diet, lifestyle, and wellness awareness, I thought I'd breeze right through "the change." But, that wasn't so, and by the time I introduced Holistic Menopause in 2004, I had already experienced a long list of challenging symptoms.
I thought, "If I'm experiencing this, the entire baby-boom generation of women must be too." And, that's how this lover of expansive knowledge, research and all things wellness, created a road map to guide myself and others through menopause.
I grew up in the "hippie" town of Eugene, Oregon where I was exposed to creative, forward-thinking people and holistic health modalities from a young age. What a great place for a curious, wide-eyed girl like me to grow up and thrive.
It was 1967 and the summer after 6th grade; the year of sex education in school. I was so fascinated by how miraculous a woman's reproductive system is that I just had to share what I'd learned with the younger girls in my neighborhood.
I gathered them in a circle under a tree in my yard and led my first "workshop" at twelve. I cherish that memory from my youth, especially as I reflect on how many women I've had the privilege of supporting since introducing Holistic Menopause.
I've been studying holistic health and healing art modalities since I was a teenager. With an insatiable curiosity, an expansive mind, and a penchant for diving deep into research, I'm continually learning and growing. And, sharing with you.
