Restore Midlife Balance
Evidence-informed herbal and somatic support for midlife—where plant medicine meets nervous-system healing.
Support for Stress, Sleep, Digestion,
and Brain Fog in Midlife
Midlife can bring real changes in energy, mood, sleep, digestion, and focus.
You don’t need to push harder or follow rigid protocols to feel better.
The Midlife Balance Starter Kit is a free, gentle introduction to my signature approach—combining evidence-informed herbal medicine, nervous-system support, and simple daily practices to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more at home in your body.
Hi, I’m Genessa.
I’m a clinical herbalist and educator specializing in nervous-system support, stress reduction, and burnout recovery during midlife. I help people navigate changes in sleep, digestion, focus, and perimenopause using evidence-informed herbal medicine, gentle somatic practices, and simple daily rituals.
My work is rooted in trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming care and guided by the rhythms of nature. I believe sustainable wellness comes from listening to your body—not pushing past it—and creating support that feels doable, steady, and deeply personal.
This free starter kit is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

What People Are Saying
“Genessa’s classes and 1:1 sessions were easy to follow and engaging. She offers great ideas to implement better self care practices, giving options to fit every lifestyle. She is so easy to work with. I immediately felt comfortable sharing very personal details. Her suggestions on sleep and supplements during perimenopause were particularly helpful. I would recommend Genessa to my closest family and friends. She’s a gem.”

Since 2012, I’ve been helping people like you find balance. As a public school teacher for over two decades, I have seen many colleagues struggle with work-life balance and burnout.
I experienced a rapid and unexpected transition into early menopause in my mid-thirties, and subsequently fell deep into burnout myself, despite all of the tools I had developed over my years of formal study in the healing arts.
My formal training has been such a blessing, but my biggest teachings have come through personal initiations. I also learn so much through working one to one with clients, and through leading workshops and healing ceremonies.
