Menopause is a part of life for half of us.
And yet, it is bizarrely difficult to find information on menopause that is reliable, clear, and doesn’t reinforce harmful views on women and aging.
This is why we created the Menopause Wellness Circle! Together we will gain confidence and insight as we move into this new phase of life.
Whether you are nearing perimenopause, in the middle of perimenopause, or in post-menopause - this is the place for you.
A Different Approach
Our culture often spreads toxic or fear-filled messages about women and menopause - that it is a diminishment we should fight against as long as possible.
We are reclaiming the narrative around menopause! We believe that honoring this natural life transition will improve your experience - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Together we can create a new model of menopause - one that is healthy, powerful, nourishing and wise.

Traci Moren, L.Ac.
Traci is a Licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist with the California State Board of Acupuncture, specializing in women’s health, fertility, pregnancy, and perimenopause. As an acupuncturist, and former birth doula and sex educator, Traci has experienced the power of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is thrilled to share this approach to wellness with others. Through listening and witnessing, she offers a well-rounded, balanced, and solutions-oriented treatment plan to provide healthcare that is respectful, caring, inclusive and self-empowering.
Throughout her career, Traci has supported women through perimenopause with Traditional Chinese Medicine, but when she dove deeper into Western treatment options she found the available information confusing and generally lacking. Her patients echoed this experience, reporting that reliable and clear information on perimenopause was hard to come by, even from their own doctors. Traci realized that the resources just weren’t out there, and that she might need to create something herself!
Testimonials
Huong N
"Traci and Julia welcomed me with open arms and I joined a group of women who listened and understood. We cried, we laughed, and I’ve never felt so seen in my life."
Mo M
"The group really gave me a chance to honor this rite of passage in my life - to celebrate it instead of fear it - and feel empowered. I highly recommend it!"
Libby E
"This group was everything my body and soul needed for such a vulnerable chapter in my life, and Traci and Julia are the perfect pair to shepherd you through this chapter. How does anyone get through this personal evolution without a women's circle of support!?"
