Guiding Principles of Menopausal Recovery

Recovery Emerges from Hope
Hope fuels healing—especially during menopause, which can feel overwhelming or isolating. Believing that wellness is possible during this transition is essential. Peer support, families, providers, and community allies all help restore a hopeful outlook.

Recovery is Person-Driven
Everyone’s menopausal experience is unique. This program supports each person in designing her own wellness path—based on her values, needs, and lived experience—honoring autonomy and informed choice.

Recovery Occurs via Many Pathways
Menopausal recovery may include hormone therapy, holistic health practices, dietary adjustments, spiritual grounding, and connection with others experiencing the same transition. No two journeys look alike—and that’s okay.

Recovery is Holistic
This program addresses the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. It embraces lifestyle, cultural identity, relationships, employment, and other roles impacted by menopause. Care is integrative, person-centered, and trauma-informed.

Recovery is Supported by Peers and Allies
Menopause can feel isolating. Shared lived experience and storytelling offer mutual empowerment and affirmation. Participants form trusted circles that validate their experiences and remind them they’re not alone.

Recovery is Supported through Relationships and Social Networks
Supportive relationships—both personal and professional—can buffer menopausal stress. Whether through sisterhood, chosen family, providers, or support groups, healing often happens in connection.

Recovery is Culturally Grounded
Cultural beliefs shape how menopause is understood, discussed, and supported. This program honors each person’s cultural background and integrates healing practices that resonate across traditions.

Recovery Addresses Trauma
For many, menopause may trigger unresolved trauma, grief, or body-related distress. This program is trauma-informed, creating emotional safety and empowering participants to reclaim their bodies and narratives.

Recovery Involves Family, Community, and Individual Responsibility
Menopause affects family dynamics and work-life balance. This program offers tools for open communication, boundary-setting, and self-care, while encouraging systems of mutual support.

Recovery is Rooted in Respect
Each participant is seen, heard, and valued. We respect the wisdom that comes with age, and the courage it takes to face physical and emotional changes.
