Let’s tackle this
SHIFT, together.
We’re a collective of women physicians who know midlife isn’t a meltdown, it’s a makeover. We’ve studied the science, lived through the SHIFTs, and treated the symptoms.
Own your SHIFT.
Sleep
Disrupted sleep?
Night sweats?
Get the latest research and medical information to help you get the dream sleep you deserve.
Hormones
Irritable, hopeless,
just not yourself?
Let’s replace fear with facts, and guide you through options to reclaim your energy, mood, and spark.
Inspiration
Feeling alone and unclear on options?
With your fellow SHIFT sisters, we’ll embrace the tools, and step into being fully seen, together.
Function
Stiff & achy joints?
Losing muscle?
Learn the science- backed ways to stay strong, active, and pain-free, through the SHIFT & beyond.
Transformation
Sudden menopausal weight gain?
Transform your body and mindset through balance, healthy body composition, and lasting vitality.
Made for you.
Our mission? To cut through the noise, call out the nonsense, and deliver real solutions for women who are ready to own this season, with humor, honesty, and zero apologies given.

FAQs
Who is the intended audience?
The M/POWER Collective S.H.I.F.T. Happens Conference is designed for women in midlife who want to take charge of their health, performance, and longevity. If you’re ready to feel stronger, think clearer, and age on your own terms, this weekend is for you.
Do I get continuing medical education credits?
Not for this event. The M/POWER Collective S.H.I.F.T. Happens Conference is designed as an educational and experiential gathering for the general public. However, future M/POWER events will include CME-accredited sessions specifically for clinicians and healthcare professionals.

Will there be swag?
Each participant receives a swag bag loaded with goodies and information from businesses that support women and their health.
Will I have any free time?
Absolutely! You’ll have free time on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon and Sunday after we wrap up. Why not extend your stay for a couple of days and explore the Oregon coast a little?
Do I have to get dressed up for the 80s disco party on Saturday evening?
Of course not, but we think you’ll have a blast if you do! This is an intimate and social conference, no need to be shy amongst friends. Dig into that closet and find your most sparkly and neon outfits And pop them in that suitcase, it’s about time they saw some fun!
Get in ladies,
we’re going midlifing.
Come hang with us for a weekend of learning, laughing, lounging, shopping, sipping, dancing… in PJ’s by 10pm.
