Love Letter to All Women who Deserve the Best
We are the daughters of extraordinary women who are navigating the challenging journey of menopause. We witness and empathize with their struggles, just as we have witnessed their incredible strength and challenges throughout their lives. Our mothers have always been a source of inspiration and guidance, and now, as they face the physical and emotional changes brought by menopause, we stand beside them with unwavering support.
We understand that menopause is a natural and transformative phase, unique to each woman, and we are committed to being their pillars of understanding, compassion, and support during the moments of change. In awe of their determination to embrace this new chapter with grace and resilience, together, we founded Selene Health, to share the “recipes” we collected for our moms to support as many women as possible.
