In Japanese culture, "Konenki" signifies "renewal years" and "energy," reflecting a positive and empowering perspective on menopause as a time of personal growth and transformation.

We offer both online and in-person events, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all members. All events are free or low-cost, with any fees solely covering food or facility expenses.
We are proud to collaborate with the region's most highly-vetted menopause providers, who will share their expertise and offer educational sessions at our events.

Menopause Anxiety and Mood Changes: What Actually Helps
·OnlineOnlineAfter RSVP, PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM --> LINK HERE!
If your mood, anxiety, or sense of yourself has shifted in midlife and the usual advice has not helped, this free, live conversation is for you. Mood in perimenopause and menopause is rarely about one thing, and three vetted providers will walk through the layers most people miss.
THREE PERSPECTIVES
- The body: what your biochemistry and mineral levels can reveal about anxiety, mood, and sleep, and why conventional labs often skip it
- The support: why there is no single fix, and how therapy, sleep, boundaries, and the right team change the picture
- The identity: how agency and self-leadership help when the patterns that used to steady you stop working
Speakers:
- Kristin Gauthier, MSN, RN, CHt (Nourish Women's Health) what hair tissue mineral analysis can reveal about mood, stress, and sleep, and why standard labs often miss it
- Deb Hurowitz, LICSW (Still Me Therapy): the emotional reality of midlife, why there is no single fix, and how to build support that holds
- Dr. Jennifer Edwards (Dr. Jennifer Edwards Coaching, LLC): agency, identity, and how to lead yourself through a season when the old patterns stop working
This free, live event brings together three experts at the intersection of body chemistry, emotional support, and identity in midlife, to help you understand not just why you feel more anxious or flat than you used to, but how to build the kind of support that actually holds.

The Midlife Traveler: Travel, Retreats, and the Menopause Transition
·OnlineOnlinePLEASE REGISTER THROUGH THIS FORM --> LINK HERE!
What if the trip you keep putting off is actually part of the answer?
Somewhere in perimenopause and menopause, most women hit the same wall. The routines that used to work stop working, and rest becomes one more thing to schedule around everyone else.
This joint webinar from Konenki Menopause Solutions and The Travel Coach Network looks at what actually shifts in this season, and how intentional travel can support your health rather than add to your list.
Vetted Konenki Providers speak to the physical and emotional changes of the menopause transition.
Certified Travel Coaches show how travel designed for this stage of life can support rest, restoration, and stepping into what comes next.
