Make perimenopause and menopause the best years of your life (so far!)

You’re in your 40s or 50s. Maybe earlier.
Things feel… off.

Your sleep is trash
Your mood isn’t steady
Your energy tanked
Your libido ghosted you
Your workouts hit different (and not in a good way)

Perimenopause and menopause can show up in ways that feel subtle at first—and then not subtle at all.

You’ve got a full life and big goals—but when you’re on a hormonal roller coaster and not feeling well, it’s hard to show up in your relationships, your career, your workouts, and all the things that you love.I get it, and I’ve helped hundreds of people in perimenopause & menopause like you.

Yes, perimenopause is a normal, physiologic process—but suffering is not inevitable. You deserve supportin navigating this transition with clarity & confidence.

Hello! I’m Dr. Marie Benkley.

I am a Naturopathic Doctor and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP).

More About Me

Clear, science-backed, actionable guidance

Trying to navigate perimenopause or menopause on your own can feel overwhelming.

There’s so much information online—and so much of it contradicts itself. It’s hard to know what’s safe, what’s effective, and what actually applies to your situation.

If you’ve felt unsure, frustrated, or stuck in a loop of Googling and second-guessing, you’re not alone.

My role is to bring clarity and calm to the process.

You don’t need more information.
You need better information.

I translate the research, filter out what doesn’t matter, and help you understand your options in a way that actually makes sense—so you can move forward with confidence, not confusion.

Targeted Symptom Relief

We start with what’s actually bothering you—sleep, mood, energy, libido, hot flashes. You don’t have to “wait it out.” Symptom relief matters, and we address it directly.

My Approach

Evidence-based, Integrative Care

A plan you can trust, that can include menopausal hormone therapy when it’s the right fit, medications when indicated, and incorporate supplements and lifestyle interventions selectively—all based on research.

Proactive, Preventive Focus

This isn’t just about today. We look at your long-term health—bone, heart, brain, breast—and build a plan so your future health is as solid as your present.

Inclusive, Affirming Care

You deserve care that’s respectful, inclusive, and affirming. I work with cis women as well as queer, non-binary, and trans patients with ovaries.
