Hello and a warm welcome to the Essend community! I'm thrilled you're here. My name is Mireille, and I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in menopause and BHRT (Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy). With over 15 years of experience in women's midlife health and currently navigating menopause myself at 47, I deeply empathize with your journey.
On Essend, I'm here to be your guide and educator, sharing reliable, science-backed information about perimenopause and menopause. While I'm not acting as your personal psychotherapist here, I'm passionate about helping you empower yourself with the knowledge you need to thrive during this transition.
I truly believe that no one should go through perimenopause or menopause alone, especially when managing BHRT. Having been on BHRT myself for the past 5 years, I know that seeing your doctor every few months often isn't enough. That's why so many women struggle and sometimes give up on their BHRT journey. We created Essend with this in mind – to provide ongoing, accessible support at an affordable price.
For just $5 a month (less than a fancy coffee!), you'll gain access to:
- An easy-to-understand, summarized evidence-based library
- Daily/weekly/as-needed expert support through text, voice, video chat, live Q&A sessions, and much more.
No more waiting for your next doctor's appointment to get your questions answered!
Are you ready to navigate this journey together? I'm genuinely excited to have you join the Essend community and can't wait to share knowledge that can truly make a difference in your life!
Hop on the Community Discord chat, it's included in your Essend Community membership, and I'm active there, ready to provide answers and support.
*Important Note: Perimenopause and menopause can sometimes bring on feelings of depression. If you're experiencing depression with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please seek immediate help at your nearest emergency room. Essend does not provide mental health crisis support and is not equipped to assist in these situations.
