The Missing Link in Menopause Care.

You don’t need another article, another podcast, or another hormone hack. What you truly need is a space to be seen, heard, and supported by women walking the same path — a circle where wisdom, laughter, and understanding replace confusion and isolation.

The Menopause Current is an intimate group program that brings together like-minded women in the menopause transition. Leave each session with individualized menopause care and a community of women to support you outside of your sessions.

Created and led by naturopathic doctors Dr Ashley Damm and Dr Kali MacIsaac Francis, The Menopause Current combines trustworthy education, practical strategies, and meaningful connection so you don’t have to go through this season alone.

When women come together, healing happens. Because the real medicine isn’t always found in a prescription.
 It’s found in connection, shared stories, and the steady support of women who remind you that
you’re not alone in the change.

Is this for you?

You’re curious to understand the foundations of thriving through perimenopause and menopause — and ready to turn that knowledge into real, lasting change for your symptoms and long-term health.

You want trusted guidance from Menopause Society Certified Naturopathic Doctors who truly get women’s health.

You’re craving connection, clarity, and a community of women walking this path with you.

You’re ready to make meaningful, lasting changes that support your energy, mood, and confidence.

Who is this not for?

The Current is a group-based, community-driven program. We focus on building the menopause foundations. It’s not the right fit and you may be better suited for our 1:1 care program if:

  • You’re seeking individualized 1:1 medical care or have complex health concerns.
  • You need new prescriptions, hormone therapy initation, or advanced lab testing (these are offered in our 1:1 care).
  • You’re looking for a quick fix rather than long-term, sustainable change.
  • You live outside British Columbia, Canada.

The Menopause Current Curriculum.

We review your blood work and health history so you understand your personal risk factors and considerations for your unique menopause journey.

We analyze your current dietary habits and nutritional intakes and build out a personalized plan for your menopausal transition.

We discuss the influence of stress and sleep on the menopause transition and treatment strategies to confidently support your nervous system.

We discuss key considerations for exercise during the menopause transition, and do a deep dive on how to implement these habits, be accountable, and find true consistency.

We dive deep into hormone therapy and conduct individualized risk assessments based on your blood work and health history so you understand your personal risks and benefits. We review the different types of hormones and how to take them. Although we do not prescribe menopausal hormone therapy in our group program, you graduate into 1:1 care for hormone therapy, if appropriate. 

We build on your foundations as we move through each session. At the start of the program, you’ll be provided a booklet where you can take notes, review resources, and handouts to facilitate the journey and note changes to your treatment plan. 

At the end of each session, you’ll have a clear plan and strategy, along with adjustments to your strategy (include supplements, nutrition etc.) as you work your way through the program.
