 SUPPORT AND CONNECTION.

Join us starting January 2027.

JOIN EMERGENCE 2027

Women’s health - and women’s hormonal health in particular - has historically been under-researched and under-served, creating a knowledge gap around this natural and inevitable chapter in our lives. When our society isn’t ignoring this life stage, it tends to belittle or dismiss it, further adding to the sense of isolation that many women feel.

This group was created for those of you for whom it has been at least 12 months from your final menstrual period.

 

With more understanding, support and connection we are more resilient in navigating the postmenopausal life stage. 

 

This is a potent transitional period in your life that offers many possibilities for growth - and the powerful opportunity to shape the trajectory of your health and well-being on all levels, both now and into the future.

Welcome to Emergence

 

A year-long small group limited to 12 women, who are at least 12 months past their final menstrual period, that blends evidence-based education, guided reflection, and discussion. Together we will explore post-menopausal physiology, ongoing symptoms, emotional shifts, and ways to sustain energy, cognition, mood and sexual well-being.

Because these are therapeutic small groups, I am able to make individual recommendations, including, when appropriate, issue prescriptions. My clinical practice is currently at capacity, so this is the best way to work together in the upcoming year.

 

MY HOPE IS THAT YOU WILL: 

• Feel supported, informed, and connected
• Develop a clearer understanding of your body's ongoing changes
• Strengthen long-term health and resilience
• Find meaning and steadiness within this life stage

EMERGENCE

An Exploration of Life After Menopause

A YEARLONG LIVE VIRTUAL SMALL GROUP PROGRAM DESIGNED TO HELP YOU MOVE THROUGH THIS MIDLIFE STAGE WITH MORE UNDERSTANDING, INTENTION, AND SUPPORT.


Through this small therapeutic group program, you will gain a deeper understanding of the changes that your body is undergoing and the emotional and spiritual shifts that may arise as you move into this new stage. The small group setting provides an intimate, non-judgmental, and welcoming space to explore your experiences and questions, and create nourishing connections with others who are undergoing similar shifts.

Over the course of our year together, you will have access to monthly group sessions where you will gain insights about this chapter of your life and take time to honour the spiritual significance of this personal and collective rite of passage.

Together, we will explore the basic physiology of this life stage, the symptoms you may be experiencing, therapeutic supports to help reduce symptoms and proactively approach your future health, opportunities for self-reflection and strategies to protect and optimize your health during midlife and beyond.

Hi, I’m Dr. Kristin Schnurr ND

I am a Naturopathic Physician, acupuncturist, mentor, and educator with a passion for integrative hormonal health. I believe that women deserve more when it comes to their health and wellbeing. Helping women navigate the physical, emotional, and spiritual shifts that accompany midlife transitions in a way that is both informed and empowered is one of my deepest passions and a primary focus of my practice. I am one of the first Naturopathic Physicians accredited as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP).

I developed this nourishing small group program with the goal of helping women make health decisions with more ease, experience greater comfort with the shifting rhythms of their bodies and spirits, and embrace the power and possibility of this sacred life stage with confidence.

Hear from Our Community

"Thank you so, so, so much. This course has overdelivered on every level. I never wanted it to end. Thank you for your immense generosity in sharing information, resources and reflections. You are a gift.”
"Overall, the support and normalization of experiences have been invaluable. I feel informed in a way that’s science-based and trustworthy, with the latest and most up-to-date information. I love the emotional and spiritual aspects you incorporate, as well as the acknowledgment that symptoms present differently for everyone. This transition is unique for each of us, yet beautifully unifying.”
"I love the way you normalize experiences, use inclusive language, highlight equity issues, and make us feel hopeful.”
"The information, the support, and the one-on-one care you offer each person—all within the context of a warm and welcoming group dynamic—are incredible.”
"I am so surprised by the wave of grief that came up for me in our last session. Women deserve to come into this stage more prepared. Thank you for compassionate space you held for my grief and for the supportive way you wove together our collective grief.”
