About Menopause Las Vegas
Menopause Las Vegas exists because too many women are navigating perimenopause and menopause feeling confused, dismissed, or completely alone.
This transition is often minimized, misunderstood, or brushed off as “just stress”, even though it can impact every part of a woman’s life, from her energy and mood to her sleep, confidence, and sense of self.
We created Menopause Las Vegas to be a supportive, community-led resource where women can find clarity, connection, and reassurance, without overwhelm, fear-based messaging, or pressure to “fix” themselves.
