Taking a Pause

A Three-Part Conversation on Perimenopause, Menopause & Beyond

Join us at Ellaria for a welcoming and informative three-part conversation with Dr. Christian Pope, Chief of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Director of Menopause & Wellness at Southcoast Health.

Perimenopause and menopause are natural transitions, yet they can bring questions, changes, and experiences that deserve greater understanding and conversation.

Together, we'll explore the many dimensions of this stage of life, including physical and hormonal changes, nutrition, movement, sleep, menopausal hormone therapy, and whole-person well-being.

Our intention is to create a supportive space for education, connection, curiosity, and meaningful conversation.
