Welcome to INTERWOVXN!
This space is for exploring the ways we expand ourselves to interweave all of the parts that are in the middle chapters of our journeys as women (inclusive of anyone who identifies as a woman, transgender, gender-fluid, or non-binary).
This is an age of multiple roles, new health matters and realities, and an evolving self-awareness. We are aging. Our bodies are changing. Our identities are shifting. We are facing closing chapters - be it fertility or loss. We are at the doorway of perimenopause and menopause and caring for aging parents while perhaps also raising young children (post-pandemic). Studies show that many women feel more under-supported than ever - we want to change that… we need to change that.
Let’s find ways to adapt to these converging stages of womanhood and thrive in the chaos. With this space, we want to share and discuss the things that make a woman’s middle life rich and textured (and sometimes a little bumpy). Let’s interweave our past with our present with our goals for the future. Let’s create legacy in storytelling- your life enriches our lives.

Why us?
As a women’s health acupuncturist (Rebecca) and doula/motherhood practitioner (Theresa), we have decades of work between us supporting women through life transitions and pivotal moments. We have also crossed through early middle life and are beginning our chapters of late middle life. We have seen and experienced the gaps of information and the lack of preparation and conversation as women move into and through this often overlooked phase. We want to bridge those gaps to minimize the crisis and emphasize the enjoyment.
It took time for us to develop our thoughts and language around this journey. And we are still in it. We welcome women to join us, as they are, to discover how they can create the middle life they want, and by adding their voices, making an ever-expanding and textured look at this fascinating chapter.
