One body. One plan. One place.
Perimenopause and menopause touch your hormones, your metabolism, your sleep, and your mind, all at once. So treating one piece at a time was never going to work. Mariposa was built to treat the whole picture.
Menopause is one day. The transition is years.
Almost everyone uses “menopause” to mean the whole experience. Medically it means one single day, and that mix-up is a large part of why women wait too long to get help.
Perimenopause
The transition itself, and where most symptoms actually start. It can begin in your late 30s or 40s and commonly runs seven to ten years, while your periods are still coming. This is the stage most often missed, and the best window to act.
Menopause
One day: the twelve-month mark after your last period. It is a date on a calendar, not a phase. On average it arrives around age 51 to 52.
Postmenopause
Every year after that day. Symptoms can continue, and this is when long-term bone, heart, and metabolic health need the most attention.
If you are still getting your period and something feels off, you are not too early. You are in the stage this clinic was built for. See the full comparison →
Seven minutes was never going to be enough.
You’ve probably lived it: a rushed appointment, a lab that came back “normal,” and a suggestion to just wait it out. That isn’t bad doctors. It’s a system that never trained for this.
- ~92%of OB-GYN residency programs have no dedicated menopause curriculum.
- 4 in 5women with menopause symptoms don’t seek medical care for them.
- 1 in 4is the share of women with symptoms actually receiving any treatment.
Sources: Mayo Clinic study of nearly 5,000 women aged 45–60 (more than 4 in 5 did not seek care; about 1 in 4 receiving treatment). OB-GYN residency curriculum surveys via Physicians Weekly and Healio.
Every week: an hour in The Grove, not seven minutes in a hallway.
Inside the clinic we built a grove (armchairs, lamps, room to breathe) where women gather weekly for a Mariposa Conversation: real education, real questions, real answers. Free, and you don’t have to be a patient.
Everything that drives your symptoms, treated together.
Your sleep affects your mood. Your hormones affect your metabolism. Your metabolism affects your energy. They’re one system, so at Mariposa they’re one plan, from physicians who specialize in exactly this.
Hormones
Evidence-based hormone therapy, individualized, and honest guidance if it’s not right for you.
Metabolism
Weight, energy, and labs, including GLP-1s and peptides where they genuinely fit.
Nutrition
What actually helps a changing metabolism, not another generic diet.
Sleep
Because nothing else works when you haven’t slept in months.
Mind & mood
The hormonal side of anxiety, mood, and brain fog: taken seriously, screened for, treated.
Community
A circle of women walking the same path, because care shouldn’t feel lonely.
This isn’t just about comfort. It’s a window.
The years around menopause are when your long-term health gets negotiated: bone, heart, metabolism, brain. Cared for early, this window becomes an opportunity. That’s not fear. That’s leverage.
