Alison's story
Why I Embrace Change
I know firsthand how confusing and lonely this transition can feel because I’m in it, too.
Nine years ago, I stepped away from the corporate world to pursue what truly moved me: education, art, wellness, and creating meaningful experiences for others. Around that same time, my own body began to shift. Subtle at first, then unmistakable. My chemistry, my mood, even my sense of self, it all began to change.
I searched for guidance. For answers. For someone who could say, “Yes, this is real and here’s how we move through it.” But what I found instead was silence. Fragmented information. Dismissive attitudes. And a lack of real, compassionate support.
Then came an unexpected turning point: a night out with my cousin to an event called From HOT to NOT in Orangeville. I almost didn’t go. But I’m so glad I did. The presenter, Dr. Danielle Marchildon, ND, offered wisdom I hadn’t heard before—and it resonated deeply. I followed up, booked a consult, and asked the question I think so many of us carry:
“What do I need to do?”
Her direction was solid. But even with great care, it still took almost a year to get the treatment I needed. That’s how deep the gaps in support really are.
And that’s why I Embrace Change exists.
We believe every woman deserves better, better care, better information, and better support through perimenopause, menopause, and midlife. You shouldn’t have to figure it all out alone. You shouldn’t feel dismissed. You deserve to feel empowered, informed, and seen.
Welcome to this community. You belong here. Let’s move through this together with honesty, strength, and compassion.

It's Time to Talk About It
Menopause isn't the end of something.
It's the beginning of a powerful evolution.
You Are Invited
We’ve been taught to shrink, stay silent, or “tough it out.”
But at
I Embrace Change, we’re doing it differently.
We believe menopause is a sacred shift—a chance to slow down, wake up, and reconnect with parts of ourselves that have long been neglected.
This is your time to reclaim clarity, compassion, and community.
