I’m so glad you are here!
If you’ve found me you are probably (like me and most women!) fed up with the rollercoaster of perimenopause impacting your life and work.
Great, you’ve come to the right place!

DID YOU KNOW?
Most of the symptoms of perimenopause happen because the brain is out of balance (homeostasis) due to the rollercoaster of wildly fluctuating and declining hormones from the ovaries.
You can use this neuroendocrine (brain and hormone) rollercoaster (transition) to your advantage!
The key is to understand your brain, your mind and yourself in this transition, and train your brain and mind (like a muscle!) to boost your brain health and mental wellbeing, and thrive, through perimenopause and beyond.
Testimonials for Dr Jen and her work
“From the first time I contacted Jen in regards to speaking at one of my events I was welcomed with her warmth and love. She is professional, friendly and truly made the whole process enjoyable and smooth. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed engaging Dr Jen as our main speaker for our mums and bubs event and would highly recommend her for other speaking engagements – well-prepared, able to adapt and always brings her warmth and compassion with her – the perfect choice.”
About Dr Jennifer Hacker Pearson, PhD
Dr Jen holds a PhD in Medicine (Neuroscience and Pharmacology) from the University of Sydney and a postgraduate degree in Psychotherapy. She is an international speaker and consultant, accredited meditation teacher, and author of I Wish Someone Had Told Me… – unspoken truths about what really happens to women during labour, childbirth and the first few weeks of motherhood.
During Dr Jen’s time in medical research, she investigated neuroplasticity – the ability of the brain to change itself to adapt. Her work has been published in high-ranking peer-reviewed journals including top neuroscience journal Nature Neuroscience.
She is immensely passionate about giving women clear, unbiased, science-backed information about the transformational changes of postpartum and menopause, so they can better understand their brain, their mind and themselves in their transition, and use these changes to thrive.
Dr Jen has been called a rebel scientist, because while she values data, she values the wellbeing of people more. She believes medicine is not one-size-fits-all and appreciates people’s neurological uniqueness. Dr Jen works with organisations, healthcare providers and individuals. She often works while cooking dinner for her husband and three kids, but never looks this glamorous.
