Coaching through Perimenopause: Raising the Standard

Fortify Health Coaching was founded by Meredith Paci and Sarah Bishop to raise the standard of functional health coaching for women and change the narrative of what coaching looks like for female clients. Through one-on-one professional consultations, group mentorships, and targeted webinars like their upcoming Coaching through Perimenopause: Raising the Standard, they equip both coaches and clients with evidence-led tools and education to navigate their health with confidence.

Hey Coaches Corner U—the crew who are Raising the Bar,

You say you’re raising the bar? Bet.

We are too.

I’m Meredith Paci (aka: Mere), and Sarah Bishop, cofounder of Fortify Health Coaching, is right here with me, and we’re reaching out not just because this is our mission, but because we know it’s yours too. You’re part of a community that doesn’t settle for surface-level. That doesn’t avoid the hard conversations. And that’s exactly why this message belongs in your inbox.

We’re raising the bar on the conversation around perimenopause. We’re challenging the outdated narratives. And, we’re here to equip all women and all coaches, like you, with the clarity, education, and edge to lead with confidence.

And here’s where it gets raw and real ...

Over the years, we’ve worked with women navigating some of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged changes in their lives—perimenopause and menopause. And through every conversation, one thing has become painfully clear: it’s not just the hormonal shifts that make this season hard. It’s the lack of education, the lack of access, and the lack of support.

When I had my first ovary removed, I was told nothing would change. No warning. No conversation. Just silence. And when the changes did come, I was blindsided, confused, and thought I was doing something wrong...

That experience pushed me to dig deep, to learn everything I hadn’t been told. So, when I faced the removal of my second ovary, I knew what was coming… and yet, I still found myself scrambling. Scrambling to find the care I knew I needed. Scrambling to access the kind of support every woman deserves. The advice I was given "just get it all out" (complete BS advice by the way) with ZERO discussion of what any of that could/will mean. 

And I honestly don’t know which was harder - not knowing what could happen or knowing what would and not having 'easy' access to solutions. because in truth there are ALWAYS solutions... at least to Sarah and I.

This is exactly what Sarah and I are here to change.

No woman should have to navigate that kind of fear, confusion, or isolation—especially not alone. As coaches, you have an extraordinary opportunity to shift that story for the women you work with! Your clients have an extraordinary opportunity to hold the reins to the future health with the insight you could provide.
