Doctor Diedra

Who Is Peri?™ Midlife Movement Lab

Your body is changing. Your mobility and strength should change with it, so you can keep doing what matters most to you.

A multi-week program of live small-group classes on Zoom for women in perimenopause and beyond. Founding class begins January 2027.

This program may be eligible for FSA/HSA payment or reimbursement.

Is this you?

  • Stiffness, achy shoulders or hips, or strength that isn't what it used to be
  • Your doctor recommends exercise to improve your symptoms and health, but you don't know where to start or who to trust
  • Finished physical therapy or other care and ready for what's next

What waiting can cost you

  • Strength and muscle tend to keep slipping through the menopause transition when nothing is done to protect them
  • Every “I'll start when things settle down” is another month of doing less of what you love
  • Piecing together conflicting advice on your own often means starting, stopping and starting again

What becomes possible

Feeling stronger and steadier in the everyday moments that matter to you

Moving with less stiffness and more ease, in a body you trust again

Knowing what to do and why, instead of guessing or following advice that wasn't made for you

Steady progress with support, from a guide who understands midlife and a small group of women on the same path

What you'll get

  • Pilates and movement science–informed functional fitness, adapted to your body, in fully live small-group classes on Zoom
  • Bite-sized, on-demand videos on midlife health: what's changing and what helps, so you can make the best decisions about your health
  • Steady progress toward the goal that matters to you
