Mireille Bio

My journey into therapy began with a profound recognition of the interconnectedness between women's wellbeing and their access to knowledge and support, that is too often missing. With Essend, I embarked on a mission to support midlife women in the unique challenges they experience from navigating perimenopause/menopause, while coping with societal pressures and stressors. My areas of expertise include: perimenopause/menopause, women's mental health and wellbeing, depression, anxiety, and self-care strategies. I developed a special interest in perimenopause/menopause health about 10 years ago, while my private practice was flooded with 35+ year old women who were experiencing perimenopause and menopause symptoms, but were misdiagnosed with depression and anxiety. I became passionate about their emotional, mental and physical health issues and new challenges that weren’t acknowledged by their providers, for lack of understanding what perimenopause and menopause truly are about, and what support and assistance they require.
