About us
Welcome to the Konenki Menopause Support Group!
In Japanese culture, "Konenki" signifies "renewal years" and "energy," reflecting a positive and empowering perspective on menopause as a time of personal growth and transformation.
Our group is dedicated to embracing this philosophy by providing a supportive community for women navigating the peri-menopausal and menopausal journey. We offer both online and in-person events, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all members. All events are free or low-cost, with any fees solely covering food or facility expenses.
We are proud to collaborate with the region's most highly-vetted menopause providers, who will share their expertise and offer educational sessions at our events.
Join us to connect with like-minded women, gain valuable insights, and celebrate this transformative phase of life together.
We look forward to welcoming you to our community!

Same Habits, Different Body: The Real Reasons Weight Changes in Menopause
·OnlineOnlineAfter RSVP, PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM --> LINK HERE!
Menopause weight change is not a willpower story. Same habits, different body, and nobody explains why.
Four perspectives on what is actually going on:
- The thyroid connection that gets missed constantly, and how to spot it through symptoms rather than waiting on a lab number.
- Three forces working against you without your knowledge: blood sugar swings, low grade inflammation, and cortisol overload.
- Blood sugar back to basics, and a way of eating that holds whether or not you are on a GLP-1.
- The line between a hard season with food and a pattern that needs more support.
A moderated discussion with audience Q and A. Free and online.
Speakers
- Kirstyn Ali, on thyroid health and symptom-first recognition
- Amy Dougherty, on blood sugar, inflammation, cortisol, and old diet rules
- Stephanie Ethe, on a practical framework for eating in midlife
- Ronni Robinson, on when frustration with food turns into something more

Sex and Intimacy in Menopause: Reclaiming Pleasure
·OnlineOnlineAfter RSVP, PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM --> LINK HERE!
If sex has quietly gone missing and you are tired of being told it is "just hormones," this conversation is for you. Three Vetted Konenki Providers on what is really shifting in midlife intimacy, and how to reconnect.
- The hormonal and tissue-level changes behind why sex feels different, and why "use it or lose it" actually matters
- Arousal style, responsive or spontaneous, and how understanding yours changes what pleasure looks like
- How old wounds and nervous system patterns quietly shut intimacy down, and what starts to shift them
Featuring
- Maureen McSwiggin, APRN, RMT, Vitality Collective Hormone Health — the hormonal and tissue-level side of sexual health, the part a routine checkup usually skips.
- Mary Monaghan, The Rewilding Coach — why pleasure is yours to reclaim, and how knowing your arousal style, responsive or spontaneous, changes everything.
- Brynn Bishop, Conscious Intimacy — how secure attachment work and nervous system rewiring turn longstanding disconnection into fulfilling intimacy.
