About Me
Hi, I’m Dr. Kristin Kushmider
You’re not imagining it - perimenopause is REAL and you are NOT alone!
After years of supporting others through significant life transitions, I found myself navigating my own. Perimenopause arrived with the familiar hallmarks (although they were not familiar to me at the time). Disrupted sleep, shifting mood, unexpected brain fog , a body I no longer recognized as my own— and the quiet realization that midlife rarely comes with clear guidance.
During my struggle I wanted a road map to get me out of this experience as quickly as possible! I wanted someone to tell me what to do to make me feel “normal” again. What I found during my experience was a gap in my own education. As women, if we’re lucky we are told at a reasonable age to expect our periods. At no point in time was I educated about hormones, perimenopause and menopause. I knew about about hot flashes. We’re rarely told about the rest.
So I began educating myself — and building what I wish had existed.
Embrace Therapeutics offers organic, plant-based remedies and holistic practices designed to support perimenopause symptoms with thoughtfulness and intention. I believe midlife is not a breakdown — it is a recalibration. And recalibration is easier when you have steady, natural tools.
My approach is compassionate and informed. I value informed care, honest conversation, and yes — a little humor.
Supporting women as they restore balance and reconnect with themselves brings me genuine joy. This work feels purposeful, personal, and deeply aligned.
When I’m not blending essential oils or teaching yoga, you’ll likely find me walking my two huskies or traveling to the beach— where nature quietly reminds me that every season has its place.
