What is Perimenopause?

Dr. Amy Bio

Dr. Amy is a naturopathic doctor and alumni of Bastyr University. She firmly believes in the Craft & Clinic philosophy of a balance of science and art in crafting customized healthcare. She employs an AND/Both integrated philosophy in that sometimes we need a prescription or a hospital, and we also need a long-game plan for our health. There are no quick fixes, no magic pills, and dancing around symptoms without getting to the core of a health crisis doesn't work. Dr. Amy works compassionately with women and female bodied people, supporting them from irritability and burnout, to vibrance and pleasure during perimenopause. She is a passionate mental health advocate who believes that we have industrialized faster than we have evolved, and recognizing this in our health journey is a game changer.

    LEarn My Story

    My work is rooted in the belief that healing is not linear, but cyclical—like the seasons, like the womb. I help women reclaim their vitality through the sacred tools of Ayurveda, embodied movement, and intuitive rituals drawn from Mother Nature herself.

    After the birth of my first son in 2016, Ayurveda became more than a practice—it became my lifeline. The postpartum window cracked me open and reoriented my path, deepening my devotion to supporting women in every season of life—from the fertile soil of postpartum to the sacred shifts of midlife.

    I’m also the host of the Peaceful Power Podcast, where I explore how ancient wisdom meets modern life, and the author of two books on cyclical living—Divine Body Wisdom and Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Your Menstrual Cycle.

    When I’m not in sacred space with clients, you can find me playing tennis, watching Hallmark mysteries, sipping my morning coffee with reverence, or adventuring on nature trails with my two boys and husband.
