ABOUT US

Dr. Maggie Ney and Alisa Kasmer, best friends for over 30 years, created HelloPeri out of a clear lack of education and resources readily available to those experiencing symptoms of Perimenopause. In a world where many feel isolated and bewildered by hormonal shifts, unsure of how to reclaim their true selves, we strive to be a beacon of support. Despite the challenges, our mission is clear: to deliver the most comprehensive resources and empowering strategies, guiding you on a journey to harmonize your hormones and embrace a life that feels truly incredible.

"It wasn't until my late-30s that I first heard of Perimenopause... and it was through Dr. Maggie. I was shocked! How could I had not heard about this incredibly important phase until I was pushing 40 years old? Menopause gets all the attention... but it's the phase of Perimenopause that is vital to our long term health. Having no understanding of that until so late in life was infuriating! When Dr. Maggie came to me about building a company that would educate women about Perimenopause, I was all-in. It's never too early to learn about our hormones and become better advocates for our health."
