We’ve spent years doing it all. Raising families, building careers, carrying losses, juggling challenges, pleasing everyone else, and putting ourselves dead last. Now we hit the second half of life, the best half, and suddenly it gets quiet. Like - CRICKETS. That silence is deafening and isolating. This is the time we should be heard, seen, a reckoned with.

You're not imagining it. You're not alone. And you're definitely not out of options. 

Here's a go-to list of clinics, communities, and care platforms for women in North America navigating perimenopause and menopause.  

You can also follow us on YouTube where we are exploring what’s happening in the world of femtech innovation. Trust me, we aren’t being ignored, it’s just hard to find the trusted resources we need through the noise of the internet.

The first big one we hear the most – where do I start???

Find a Practitioner

The Menopause Foundation of Canada has a great resource to help you locate a practitioner. They also have great information on Hormone Therapy which is still causes fear in women. 

The Menopause Society (formerly North American Menopause Society) offers a search tool as well. They also offer a clear, no-nonsense breakdown of what hormone therapy actually is, its types, benefits vs risks. They'll also explain bioidentical hormones.

Education & Empowerment Communities

Post-cancer/treatment support

Across Canada (your starter kit)

These are some helpful resources across Canada but this list will continue to grow so keep checking back

Canadian Cancer Society - Treatment-Induced Menopause: When chemo surprises you with menopause but no information to navigate it or what to expect

New to Canada? You May Not Even Know the Word for It

For women new to Canada, menopause isn’t just confusing, it may be completely unfamiliar. If it’s never been openly discussed in their culture, they might not even know the symptoms they’re experiencing are related to perimenopause or menopause, let alone how to explain them in a new language. Finding support feels impossible when survival and adaptation take up all their energy. These resources are a start: the Menopause Foundation of Canada offers free guides and trackers, Menopause & U breaks down what to expect in plain language, the Canadian Menopause Society shares patient resources and practitioner directories, and AMSSA provides multilingual health materials for newcomers. But let’s be honest—they’re not enough. If you know of more programs, clinics, or tools that can help, share them—because no woman should have to go through this stage of life lost in translation.

We have work to do. Especially for women without access

At She2.0, we know that too often women in shelters or living with less access to care are forced to put their health last. Menopause and perimenopause don’t pause for hardship, and these women deserve just as much support as anyone else. We haven’t overlooked them – we’re working on it! That’s why we want to share resources that can make a real difference.

If you’re experiencing symptoms, the Menopause Foundation of Canada and Menopause & U provide free, accessible information. In Toronto, clinical care is available through Sinai Health’s Menopause Clinic and Mature Women’s Health. For everyday wellness support, Heart & Stroke Canada offers practical guidance, and I Support The Girls provides bras and hygiene products to women in shelters.

These are resources you can use yourself or share with someone in need - because every woman deserves dignity, knowledge, and care during this stage of life.

The Other Stuff That Matters

·       Naturopaths: Look for ones trained in hormone balance or women’s health. Start with CAND.ca if you’re in Canada. Naturopaths are doing the heavy lifting in diving in and learning about menopause and treatment options. Don’t dismiss this important resource

·       Menopause Doulas: Yup, they exist. Emotional + practical support through the midlife shift.

·       Pelvic Floor Physios: Game changers if you’re dealing with leaks, prolapse, or pain. I’m always surprised we aren’t told more about this.

·       Post-surgical & early menopause support: Check with The Daisy Network for women experiencing early or medically induced menopause.

·       Indigenous Women’s Wellness: Many Indigenous health centres offer culturally grounded midlife and menopause care. In Canada, check with your local Friendship Centre or National Aboriginal Council of Midwives for referrals.

We’ve gathered a solid lineup here, but let’s be honest, menopause is not a ‘one-and-done’ kind of topic. Got a resource that belongs on this list? Pass it along. We’re building the library we all wish we had years ago.
