WTF is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the 10ish years before menopause, and it typically starts around age 35-45ish. No matter what stage of motherhood you’re in (or even if you don’t have kids), perimenopause is the backwards puberty you didn’t sign up for.
what does perimenopause look like?
She’s a sneaky B, so everyone’s experience is different. Common perimenopause symptoms include:
Night sweats
Insomnia
Weight gain
Irregular periods or shorter cycles
Dormant sex drive
Dryish vagina
Mood swings
Irritability
Body odor
Hot flashes
Introducing:
Perimenopause Party.
The “Your Changing Body” course for badass moms 40ish and up. Trade in your Lisa Frank notebook for this grown-up virtual course and learn what your body is actually doing.
how it works
perimenopause party
is a jam packed group program that helps perimenopause not suck. You’ll learn how to keep your hormones happy during this massive transition time, and fuel your body with what it needs. That means less night sweats, insomnia and mood swings, and maybe even a resurrected libido.
this course is for:
Women who are 35+.
Women who are experiencing symptoms of perimenopause.
Women who lack time/energy but still want to take care of their bodies.
“But Alison…
my kids are so young! How am I perimenopausal?”
On average, women are entering motherhood much later than we used to. That means you can fly right from postpartum to perimenopause (fun!). That’s precisely why this course exists- to help you navigate all of your hormonal ups and downs.
why nutrition?
The nutrients in our food make up our hormones, hair and everything in between. Changing hormones also changes the way your body metabolizes nutrients, and increases your risk for things like weight gain, diabetes, inflammatory diseases, and osteoporosis. That means we feel and function better when we give our bodies what they need for this specific season of life.
Made for Mothers.
Most diet trends and nutrition books say nothing about motherhood, because that’s not who they were created for. Perimenopause is a unique season that creates specific needs in a woman’s body, and hits harder for moms of littles and tweens. Perimenopause Party is designed for you.
What happens when your body’s needs are met?
There’s a reason you’re sweating through your sheets. And although these symptoms are common, they’re a sign that your body isn’t getting what it needs. When we understand and support your unique body’s needs, you’ll start to feel better.
Deeper and more restorative sleep
Relief from hormone imbalance symptoms and period drama
Less irritability
More energy
Less night sweats
More stabilized moods
Stronger immune system
what’s included
01
live (and recorded) workshops
At the beginning of each month, we will gather ‘round the zoom for perimenopause 101. Come with your questions and get ready to dive into the science of changing hormones, HRT, nutrition, food & mood, your metabolism, and labs. You’ll learn what to eat, take and how to move to combat these hormone shifts.
02
group coaching
Twice per month we get back together on Zoom to have a live Q&A coaching session. Questions about your labs, how to implement the protocol, and any other questions that have come up since our last workshop will be answered. You can pre-submit questions ahead of time if you can’t make it live.
03
personalized Data
Get my curated list of labs to request from your doc (or we can order for you) to dig into your personal perimenopause profile. You’ll learn what the optimal levels are, why your labs might be off and what to do about it.
04
ACCOUNTABILITY
Daily and weekly check ins via the group Slack community. Motivate each other, share recipes, and get answers from the Motherwell Team.
05
extra 1:1 time with alison
(optional upgrade) Get a monthly private call with Alison to chat through your personal case, labs, meal planning unique to your schedule and preferences, and get 1:1 support to make this work for your body and your life.
06
hormone testing
(optional upgrade) Understand your hormonal profile with a home DUTCH test. We’ll see the full picture of how your hormones are interacting and detoxing, your cortisol highs and lows and even some mood and sleep neurotransmitter data. Dig into what’s going on with YOUR hormones and how that’s impacting how you feel.

Bonus workshop
Perimenopause meets Postpartum
Wait, but how do I know if how I feel is peri or postpartum?
Bad news: you can be both at the same time. Good news: I have something special for you. If you are within 2 years of giving birth AND you’re in the 40ish age range, then you need to flex your postpartum recovery muscles and do your peri prep at the same time. This workshop gives you all the details and helps make it easy for you. We don’t have to be sweaty bitches forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can I join?
Spring 2025
I already eat healthy. Will I learn anything?
Omg. Yes. Perimenopause Party is designed to help you identify what your unique body needs in perimenopause, which is different than what your body thrived on in decades past. If you’re experiencing common perimenopause symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, irritability, and funky periods, this program is for you. That said, if you have no desire to make any changes to what you’re eating then this probably isn’t the program for you.
Is this a live course?
Perimenopause Party is a group program with live workshops and group coaching. To get the most out of it, you’ll want to follow along in real time. The workshops are recorded and I write out my entire protocol so that you can easily reference all the info without having to re-watch any videos.
My kids run my life. Will I have time for this?
Here’s the thing. Hormone drama, no energy, bad sleep and foggy thinking takes up a TON of body and brain space. With balanced hormones and a fueled body, you’ll feel better and have more energy. That said, everything I present to you is mom friendly and operates on the basic assumption that time is a limited resource.
How long does it take to start feeling better?
Perimenopause Party gives you the tools and knowledge to take care of yourself for life. This isn’t a quick fix and I’m not going to greenwash you with 20 supplements. That said, I typically see changes in energy within days to weeks and hormone changes within weeks to months. Mood improvements or weight change can be more variable.
What’s your return policy?
All Perimenopause Party program purchases are non-refundable.
Will this help me lose extra weight?
My priority is to help you feel better. Although weight loss is not the focus of this course, difficulty losing weight is sometimes a side effect of certain hormonal imbalances and metabolic changes that come along with perimenopause. Some moms find weight management easier once their bodies have what they need.
I’m a vegetarian or have food restrictions. Will I be able to follow the food recommendations?
Yes. My food and meal recommendations follow a formula where you can plug your favorite foods into each category. The meal plans and recipes are for ease and inspiration but you don’t need to follow the exact ingredients in order to make it work for you. Important note: you will be most successful if you are able to be flexible on self-imposed food restrictions (I’m not references allergies here). Sometimes we feel the way we do because we haven’t had the foods that our bodies need for a long time. Being willing to take an objective look at what our bodies truly need for this next phase of life will set you up for better health.
