for all things menopause

I'm Amalia, and when I entered perimenopause, I sought answers that would elevate awareness around this critical phase. What I discovered instead was a system that often left women feeling confused, dismissed, and alone. 

With a Master's in Professional Education, certifications in menopause coaching, and extensive experience in fitness and health education, I founded What the Pause?! to provide the perimenopause support I wished I had during this journey. 

As a dedicated menopause coach, I currently work with women one-on-one, offer mental health support through workplace education programs, host a podcast, and engage in public speaking. My mission is to foster leadership in the conversation about menopause, ensuring it becomes a topic we are no longer afraid to discuss.
