Welcome to The Menopause OT! I'm Julie Parana, MS, OTR/L, CWHS, a licensed Occupational Therapist, Certified Women's Health Specialist, and Menopause Coach with over 20 years of clinical experience. After going through early menopause myself, I realized how little real guidance exists for women navigating this transition, so I built the resource I wish I'd had. On this channel, I break down what's actually happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause, from hot flashes and brain fog to joint pain, sleep issues, and mood changes, and what you can do about it. As an OT, I look beyond symptoms to how menopause affects your daily life: your routines, relationships, work, and sense of self. Expect practical, evidence-based videos you can actually use. New videos on menopause symptoms, treatment options, and workplace support, so you can feel like yourself again. Thriving through menopause is absolutely possible when you have a plan. I would love to help you build yours.
