Recovery is not a return to
who you were.
It is becoming true to who you are.
Specialized counselling for women navigating addiction, disordered eating, and the particular complexity of midlife: Hormonal literacy. Shame resilience. The whole person.
Coming soon
An Exclusive Partnership with The Healing Institute at Taylor Bay
Dr. Tracy Rodgers MD, OB-GYN and Bryn Meadows MA, RPC-MPCC are partnering exclusively with
The Healing Institute at Taylor Bay to deliver THE INSIDE WORK:
Clinically grounded recovery retreats for women in mid-life, and continuing-education retreats for the healthcare professionals who treat them. Set on the Institute's coastal grounds at Taylor Bay, this is where we do The Inside Work: an evidence-based, integrative program addressing the intersection of perimenopause, mental health, and reclamation that has not, until now, existed in Canada.
Cohorts Starting September 2026
I help women find their way back to themselves
I'm Bryn Meadows — counsellor, Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, and founder of Menopolooza and the Bloom Recovery Program. I specialize in supporting women navigating addiction, disordered eating, and the profound transitions of midlife — at the intersection of hormonal biology, shame resilience, and real life.
The intersection is where the real work begins
Bryn specializes in the places where multiple struggles converge.
Midlife & Perimenopause
The neurobiological, emotional, and identity shifts of perimenopause and menopause — and the compound weight of the lives women are carrying.
Addiction & Substance Use
Alcohol, prescription medication, and behavioural addiction — treated with hormonal literacy, shame resilience, and relapse prevention that accounts for the whole person.
Disordered Eating
Restriction, bingeing, compulsive exercise — especially where disordered eating intersects with midlife body changes, substance use, and complicated relationships with the body.
Shame & Self-Worth
Guilt, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing — using The Daring Way™ curriculum to build genuine shame resilience from the inside out.
Family & Couples
For partners and families affected by a loved one's addiction — navigating boundaries, grief, codependency, and their own healing.
Identity & Transition
Empty nest, divorce, career change, loss of parents — the compound losses of midlife and the question of who you are becoming on the other side.
You don't have to keep white-knuckling it alone
A 15-minute consultation is always the place to start. No commitment, no pressure — just a conversation to see if this is the right fit.
All sessions available via Zoom across Canada
