Discover a new pathway to feel clear, vibrant, and empowered in your menopausal initiation

This work is for you if...

You've tried the conventional routes, the medical appointments, the prescriptions, the supplements, and something is still missing. You're not looking to be managed. You're looking to be understood, accompanied, and transformed.

You're looking for a bigger frame.

Hi, I'm Ana Paula Jimenez

Hormone Health · Somatic Experiencing · Psychedelic Integration

I support midlife women in coming home to themselves through the body, through the hormones, through the parts of life that are asking to be met with new eyes.

My path to this work is woven from many threads. I hold a Master's degree in Medical Microbiology and spent over a decade in women's health technology, leading product and design for four apps across the U.S. and Latin America. Work that reached more than 20,000 women globally. That chapter gave me a deep understanding of the systems that shape women's health. But it was the wisdom I found in somatic practice, indigenous traditions, and my own midlife unfolding that taught me what those systems so often miss.

In my private practice, I work with women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the profound identity shifts that come with them. Through an integrative weave of somatic therapy, hormonal health, and psychedelic-assisted healing, I help women move from depletion and disconnection into a living, felt relationship with their own body's wisdom.

I am also the founder of Amawa Academy, a space devoted to honoring women's bodies and the sacred terrain of life's transitions, through education, group experiences, and community.

My work is deeply shaped by studies with indigenous wisdom keepers and traditions from the Global South. I bring that influence into every aspect of how I hold space: with reverence, creativity, and a trust in the body as a wise and ancient guide.

Working Together

Every woman's process is personalized. This is how we begin.

1

Get in Touch

Schedule a free call using the link below. This is a space for you to share what is bringing you here, ask questions, and for us to sense whether working together feels right.

2

Consultation Free Call

We begin with an introductory 45-minute free session. This is both a conversation and an experiential space. You share your story and your needs, I share my approach, and we do a short somatic session so you can feel firsthand how this work lands in your body.

3

Start Your Midlife Glow

If we both feel aligned, we begin a personalized 6-month program with weekly 90-minute sessions, combining somatic therapy, hormonal health, and microdosing integration (optional). You will receive guidance on nutritional protocols, supplementation, and herbalism, alongside nervous system regulation and trauma-informed care. Everything is tailored to your body, your history, and your pace.

What Women Say

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“I came to Ana because Perimenopause had been a challenge for me with anxiety, hot flashes, and sleeplessness. I’m so grateful I did. Working with Ana has helped me feel more grounded, present, and connected. I’ve become much more in tune with what my body needs, my hot flashes are less intense, and I’m taking better care of myself with healthier routines. The tools and practices Ana shared feel nourishing and luxurious, like treating myself like a queen. I’ve become much better at setting boundaries (a big one for me) and do less over-functioning for others, giving myself permission to step back and prioritize my own needs. One of the biggest shifts has been learning to trust myself. I’m making decisions based on what feels aligned for me. I’m so grateful for Ana’s support at this point in my journey!

Ana is an INCREDIBLE resource for women who are going through perimenopause and menopause. However in all honesty, I would recommend Ana to ALL AGES of women. I believe her wisdom, her poise, and her medicine is magic. To be a young woman navigating this world with Ana’s support would be like having a personal guide into your womanhood, priceless. Thank you Ana for everything that you are and all that you do!

Receiving Ecosomatic therapy with Ana has been deeply transformative as I entered perimenopause.
 I’ve become more connected to my body, more present, grounded, and aware. It’s incredible to witness how the body can self-regulate when truly listened to and honored. Ana’s presence has been essential during this time. Her loving, respectful, and grounded support along with her deep knowledge gave me the trust I needed to fully surrender to the process. Her companionship has been a true balm during a time of profound transformation. I wholeheartedly recommend this process to anyone who wants to live with more depth, presence, and self-awareness.

Before this series, I didn't feel a deep or intimate connection with my body or my cycle, but through this journey I've come to understand both the physical and spiritual processes unfolding within me in a completely new way. She doesn't just share information, she brings it into a lived, embodied experience that you can truly feel.

I was thrilled to sign up for Wise Passage retreat as soon as I heard about it. And my friend wanted to come too! I’m so grateful we did. That day was like a day out of time. It was like time stopped and we women gathered in circle to share our stories and connect about what’s really going on. This retreat was the first time I really heard the stage of menopause referred to as a rite of passage. And what you shared with us felt like the beginning of this sacred process. I recommend this gathering to all women. I felt held, nourished and inspired by the time together. Thank you Ana. You are a gift.

I’m so grateful for the package of somatic sessions I did with Ana. It was a true blessing to work with her attuned, spacious approach, with a focus on my relationship to my womb and the sensations that live there, places that are often easy to avoid. Ana met me with such presence and care, supporting me in slowing down and honoring my body’s timing. I’m grateful for the depth and breadth of wisdom Ana lives and shares: from somatic support, to hormonal awareness, to blood practices, as well as her naturally warm and caring way
