Every Stage, Every Body: A Women's Health & Empowerment Summit

Women's bodies go through more transitions than almost any conversation gives them credit for — and too often, we're taught to push through in silence. This summit is about changing that.

Join us for a day dedicated to breaking the silence around the health issues that shape women's lives at every stage — from pelvic health and postpartum recovery to perimenopause and menopause. We're bringing together leading experts and innovators who are transforming the way women access care, information, and community.

Featured speakers include Dr. Tanya Goodrich, PT, DPT, Founder and CEO of Healthy Pelvis Physical Therapy and a nationally recognized leader in pelvic health, and Melissa Oliveira, Co-Founder of HotPause Health, the country's leading menopause marketplace. Together, they'll share the tools, research, and real talk women need to feel informed, supported, and at home in their bodies — at every age and every stage.

This is more than a summit. It's a movement toward a future where women's health is met with expertise, not shame.

Who is coming?

Healthy Pelvis Physical Therapy is a leading pelvic health practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, dedicated to helping women move, heal, and thrive through every stage of life. With three clinics and a fourth location opening in Palo Alto in fall 2026, Healthy Pelvis has a team of six pelvic physical therapists providing specialized, evidence-based care for pregnancy, postpartum recovery, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel health, prolapse, sexual wellness, perimenopause, menopause, and orthopedic concerns. Healthy Pelvis is known for its whole-body, results-driven approach and its mission to eradicate the shame and stigma surrounding pelvic health while redefining the standard of care for women.


HotPause Health is the largest and most trusted menopause marketplace in the U.S., empowering women through a curated ecosystem of credible products, providers, and programs to support every stage of perimenopause and menopause. HotPause is guided by a 20-person menopause & medical advisory board and fueled by a fast-growing community seeking evidence-based, accessible support. The HotPause Health menopause marketplace curates products across skin care, sexual care, hair care, sleep care, weight management, and more and is shoppable by concern. It also has the nation’s largest menopause-specific medical directory and growing network of services, programs, and community events.

Womaness is one of the leading modern wellness brands helping women thrive through midlife. We create clean, clinically tested skincare, sexual wellness, and supplements designed for the real changes that come with perimenopause and menopause—because women deserve products made for this stage of life. But we're about much more than products. Womaness is building a community that celebrates aging with confidence, optimism, and a little humor, helping women feel their best and embrace what's next.
