Ali Zuur-Arnerich

Ali has been involved in the healing arts for over 20 years as a massage therapist, birth doula, and now health coach deeply focused on women's functional and hormone health. After working with hundreds of clients in her blood sugar balancing RESET program, Ali has honed her coaching skills to offer actionable, sustainable and effective tools which create vibrant health that lasts.  Working with a number of female clients in the perimenopause years, it became clear there was a giant gap for women navigating hormone health. After completing certifications in Hormone Health, Functional Lab Testing, Functional Women's Nutrition and Perimenopause through the Integrative Women's Health Institute, Ali has joined their Advanced Women's Health Membership and continues to learn and resource herself so she can support others along the way. Ali is also a Certified Breathwork Facilitator and utilizes breath as a tool to regulate the nervous system and balance hormones.

Nutrition, movement, stress mitigation and proper sleep are the foundations which we build upon for optimal hormone health.

Welcome Wise Woman!

We are all connected by the milestones of womanhood. Some of these milestones are not meant to be walked alone. Women historically were surrounded by community to help navigate the seasons of life. The isolation of our modern lives, only more amplified in recent years, has not served women well. In this isolation, as we approach middle age, it is challenging to know what is "normal". The natural shifts taking place create anxiety, dis-ease and we are often left suffering in silence while being dismissed by the medical community.

We are offering a paradigm shift in our Wise Woman Circle.

This course and membership are designed for women who are going through any life transition, but specifically for  the transition of perimenopause and menopause.

What is perimenopause?

This is the 10-15 years around the final menopause transition. Menopause is defined as one year without a menstrual cycle, and the average age is 51 in this country. The hormone fluctuations that precede menopause can begin in our mid-late 30's, and often come and go for a decade before our final cycle. This is the season of perimenopause, and it is quite misunderstood, mismanaged and mysterious. Even our best intentioned medical community is at a loss when it comes to this time in a woman's life. Most women go through the quiet struggle of trying to figure out what it is, what is normal, and when will I feel like myself again?

We will explore these questions and transform the unknown to empowerment so we can access our inner wisdom. In this community we will learn that not only is this season of life normal, but it is a special gift.

We have condensed the most relevant and latest science backed information around perimenopause and menopause. We are here to share answers to these unknowns so we can trust our bodies while surrendering the illusion of control.

We can't stop this change or slow down time, but we can support it and have a more empowered transition. 

As a woman in your 30's, 40's, 50's & beyond, have you experienced:

• Unexplained weight gain that is not budging with the tools that used to work?
• Mood swings, hot flashes and emotions on a roller coaster?
• Frustration with all the mixed messages on diets, supplements and protocols?
• Loneliness and isolation on your journey and not sure what is normal anymore?
• Unsure about what is going on with your cycle or unclear on the phases of your menstrual cycle?
• The need for coffee to get going in the morning and wine to relax in the evening?
• Disrupted sleep, waking at 3am and can't fall back to sleep?
• Anxiety around what's next for you in your career, family, life goals?
• Fear and unease around aging?
• Being ignored by a medical professional who offers birth control, anti-anxiety or sleeping pills, or suggests that it's all in your head?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then we have you covered in this course!

Join us in a new way of connecting with this season of life.

Even if you are on the other side of menopause, the demands and stresses of this season are eased by being in community.

This is a beautiful opportunity to reimagine what this age looks and feels like.

Ali and Caryn's Story~

We became fast friends over 20 years ago in a pilates class in the months before our weddings and the transition into wives. We then turned to each other in friendship and support as the journey transitioned to motherhood. We continue to lean on each other and utilize each other's coaching expertise to better our own lives and support our own journeys (Ali has coached Caryn thorough the Reset for holistic health, and Caryn has coached Ali in her growth as a business owner and entrepreneur).

As we reflect on the importance of community during the lifelong journey of being a woman (it never ends!), we want YOU to join our circle.

We offer kinship as well as knowledge; both scientific and lived experience. Through this course you will feel empowered, seen, connected, and closer to the Wise Woman you already are.
