  • You feel exhausted or foggy and wonder why the things that used to work for you no longer feel the same.

  • You have questions about changes in your sleep, mood, energy, or body, but have not had enough time or space to explore them.

  • You want practical information and connection with other women going through a similar season.

// Arriving[ 03 ]

Picture yourself here

You arrive, are welcomed in, and have a moment to settle with a cup of cacao. For a few hours, there is space to listen, ask questions, enjoy a nourishing meal, and reflect on what you need in this season of life. You can participate at your own pace. Sharing personal experiences is always optional.

Why we created this day

“The space I also needed.”

Megan HormazdiAPRN, FNP-BC

Now, as a busy healthcare provider navigating perimenopause myself, I created Rise Into Her as the space I also needed: a place for women to pause, feel understood, and support one another through this powerful season of change.

Aline InocencioLMFT

Once I realized I already knew the right people, the vision came easily: a team of caring women offering others what I received so abundantly. Rise Into Her is that offering.

Bruna Chamelette

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: true nourishment is not only about what we eat, but how we nourish our whole selves.
