Menopause


Description:
In this episode, Holly — founder of Norabloom — invites you into a softer, more honest conversation about menopause. Rather than approaching it through the lens of anti-aging or fear, this episode explores menopause as a season of becoming: a return to the body with compassion, slowness, and deep self-trust.
Topics covered include how menopausal skin communicates with us, why healing responds to gentleness over force, the emotional and spiritual transformation that often goes unspoken, and how to create meaningful rituals that honor this season of life.

Learn more about me

I am the founder of Norabloom—a sanctuary where beauty, wellness, and artistry meet. My path weaves together many threads: I am a holistic and oncology esthetician, certified integrative nutrition health coach, somatic healer, yoga teacher, reiki master, and photographer. Each role is guided by the same intention—to nurture women in mind, body, and spirit, and to create spaces where they feel seen, held, and radiant.

I founded Norabloom 27 years ago as a small, soulful skin spa with my own line of handcrafted botanical beauty products. Over time, life invited me deeper into creativity—when my daughter was expecting her little one, I rediscovered my love for art and photography.  I’ve woven together all the things I cherish most into one harmonious offering—Norabloom.

I'm Holly!
