After over 30 years of passionately working in various health and wellness sectors of Eastern and Western medicine, Stacey's career as a natural healthcare provider has brought her to the pivotal point of creating a specific program for Women's Health mid-life and beyond - Second Spring by Stacey. Going through the stages of menopause herself, and struggling to find resources that could support this challenging transition sparked a commitment and passion to change the negative stigma of Menopause. Offering safe, natural health care based on science, experience, and collaboration with Western medical doctors, and bringing passion and purpose to women going through this transition is the focus of Second Spring by Stacey.
