Own your SHIFT.
Forget outdated advice. Introducing the SHIFT Method.
With each of our specialities, we’re changing the rules of midlife for women with wisdom, evidence, and a flash of fun.
Sleep
The key to thriving through life’s shifts is giving your body the daily rest it deserves. Sleep physician and menopause specialist Dr. Andrea Matsumura introduces her D.R.E.A.M. Sleep Method, targeting five essential areas that transform sleep quality for women navigating midlife.
Hormones
Hormones play a powerful role in everything from mood to metabolism. Family physician and menopause specialist, Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan, provides expert guidance and evidence-based strategies, helping you separate myth from fact and discover safe, effective options tailored to your stage of life.
Inspiration
M/Power exemplifies what’s possible when women unite to share knowledge, science, and support around an often-overlooked stage of life. Our work highlights the impact of creating safe, empowering spaces where women are seen, heard, and guided with compassion. That same spirit of empowerment fuels the conference’s mission to spark conversation, break stigma, and equip women with the confidence and community to thrive in this next chapter, together.
Function
Many women in midlife experience joint pain or slower recovery, yet are told it’s “just aging,” especially when imaging appears normal. Emerging research shows estrogen decline significantly affects bone, muscle, tendon, and joint health – often overlooked or misunderstood. Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Nancy Yen Shipley explores how hormonal shifts impact the musculoskeletal system, provides practical tools to recognize early warning signs, and applies strategies that support lifelong strength and mobility.
Transformation
Lasting transformation begins with an integrative approach that honors your whole self. At RadianceMD, Dr. Leslie Sanchez-Goettler’s SPHERES method – a holistic 7-point framework – restores balance, supports healthy body composition, and empowers lasting change for renewed confidence, vitality, and radiance.
Come roll with us.
Join us for a weekend of truth-telling, taboo-busting, and thriving through midlife, because shift happens, and we’re here to help you own it.
