Helping Menopausal
Women Thrive

I’m on a mission to help women navigate the menopause maze with grace, dignity, confidence and a bit of sass, and to support organizations in creating equitable and inclusive cultures where menopausal women can thrive.

I’m Amy Ackermann, an experienced change coach, with a track record of helping women and organizations achieve success.

Menopause rocked me to my core. I knew it was coming. I had done some research to be ready. Time marched on. When I realized it was “here”, I wasn’t really prepared.

At times, I have felt like an alien living in a body I no longer know, often wondering

WTF?!?

Sound Familiar?

I’ve learned a lot over the past several years and have channeled this experience, knowledge and wisdom into supporting others managing the realities of menopause. While symptoms may be common to many, every woman’s journey is unique. By offering focused coaching, education and consulting support, I can help you regain your core self and help your organization create a culture that fully embraces and supports women.
