About this Event
Welcome to UNITE!
On the third Tuesday of every month we are gathering on our heated rooftop patio to host an evening of networking and inter referral within the healthcare and healing arts community of Los Angeles.
The intention of UNITE is to build community as well as personal networks all in an effort to support patient care. Over the last 5+ years we have found that so many of our patients at Thrive are best served when they have access to a network of practitioners that can address and hold space for different parts of their healing journey whether it be mentally, physically, emotionally and / or spiritually.
Thrive is a sanctuary of holistic healing that houses over forty incredibly talented practitioners who practice many diverse modalities of healing. Stitched into the Thrive DNA is a community and patient support network that we are now opening up to the broader community of healing professionals. This is an amazing opportunity to support one another, grow client care options and create new connections and conversations.
We are excited to launch our next series! The UNITE Practitioner Series is a special opportunity to showcase our amazing Thrive practitioners and open up dialogue around what each of them do in their practice and how it can be an important piece to a clients individualized integrative wellness plan and health journey.
We are thrilled to announce our first speaker in the series is Thrive practitioner, Lisa Arshawsky, MSN, RN, WHNP-BC, CNM!
Lisa is a women's health nurse practitioner and certified nurse midwife with more than 26 years in practice. Her work centers on hormone therapy, functional nutrition and the metabolic side of midlife health.
She is the founder of Your Menopause Concierge in Los Angeles, a membership practice focused on preventive care, hormonal optimization and metabolic health for women in perimenopause and menopause.
Lisa sees how often midlife symptoms get missed or brushed off, and she wants fellow practitioners to recognize them too, because your clients are often telling you things they haven't told their doctor.
Understanding The Midlife Woman: What Perimenopause & Menopause Look Like In Your Clients
In this session, you'll learn how to:
- How shifting estrogen and progesterone affect sleep, body temperature, joints, muscle, mood and focus, often for years before periods stop
- Why poor sleep, new aches, anxiety, low mood, brain fog and weight changes can walk in the door looking like something else
- Simple questions you can work into your own intake and session conversations, whatever your modality
- The signs that a client would benefit from a hormone evaluation, orneeds further workup for things like heavy or unusual bleeding ormood changes that keep getting worse, and how to bring it up with her
A lot of the women on your table, on your mat or in your chair are in the middle of a hormonal transition and don't know it. Lisa will walk through the physical and emotional changes of perimenopause and menopause and how they may already be showing up in the clients you care for. You'll leave this session with a better sense of what to look for, and when it's time to refer her to a menopause specialist.
This is open to the general public for all categories of healthcare professionals with a suggested donation of $5.00.
We look forward to uniting!
