Want to turn your midlife into a GREAT AWAKENING
without being stuck in chronic crisis mode?
Journey through Perimenopause
the Wise Woman Way
Restore gut health, get more sleep, lessen brain fog, and nourish your nervous system!
If you want to experience the natural transition of perimenopause
and build resilience
for the next phase of your life…
You’ve probably been told that hormone balancing is key to easing:
Vasomotor symptoms (e.g. hot flashes, night sweats)
Cycle changes (e.g. irregular periods, longer periods, PMS, etc.)
Sleep disturbance, fatigue and joint pain
Mood swings, crying jags, rage
Digestive issues
Here’s what no one talks about
when it comes to
perimenopause health
Even if you get your hormones in check, your hormone levels will eventually change—
you can’t control the inevitable. You are going to reach menopause! So obvious, right?
But here’s the not-so-obvious part:
There’s a major
nervous system
aspect to midlife wellness
…which is why you may be feeling too overwhelmed to accept the changes and gifts of midlife
If you want to sleep better, feel less digestive distress and improve your focus and memory, you need to nourish your nervous system.
Hi, I’m Genessa
and I’ve been through this journey!
When I started experiencing these symptoms in my mid-thirties, my doctors thought it was stress, or an illness affecting my cycles. No one even considered that I could go through menopause so early. But, in less than six months I had gone from normal hormone levels to post-menopausal all before the age of 40, crushing my hopes of having more biological children.
I remember feeling alone, confused and filled with rage, thinking, “What is happening to my body?” I sought treatment from allopathic physicians, but nothing seemed to resonate, and I felt less and less empowered in the process.
I started searching for alternative ways to support my body during this transition, leaning heavily on yoga, meditation, acupuncture, energy healing and herbs. Slowly, I found relief from my symptoms, and my understanding of how to navigate the imbalances grew with time. My life became more balanced.
As I emerged on the other side of The Change, I realized I had to share these empowering healing tools with other folks! I don’t want you to feel the way I did—isolated and alone, ashamed of my body’s changes and confused about how to ease my symptoms.

Elana K., Yoga + Healing Facilitator
“I had the privilege of sitting in ceremony and circle with Genessa in her Triple Goddess series and loved the experience from start to finish. Genessa approaches all of her offerings with deep reverence, respect and devotion and shares from the depth of her own practice, study, and experience. Within the container she held, I was able to cultivate greater skills in listening to myself and my alignment to natural rhythms and feminine archetypes. Genessa’s embodiment of the teachings and wisdoms she shared expresses in compassionate and grounded facilitation that welcomes beginners and those more experienced alike. I am so grateful for the connection, support, and practices that I received from Genessa and continue to feel the reverberations of that special time whenever I revisit the information I learned from her. ”

“When I first started working with Genessa I was experiencing so much stress, especially with the pandemic. I had minimal contact with people, my industry was suffering and I was learning how to adapt. I looked forward to my time with Genessa. Her classes blend breathing techniques, visualizations, and shamanic healing tools. It has truly been a time of respite, human connection, and has assisted in supporting my management of stress and connecting with others. I highly recommend Genessa’s programs!”
