Is menopause leaving you exhausted, foggy, and emotionally flat?
When hot flashes meet burnout and touch feels wrong, it’s not just hormones—it’s your nervous system asking for care.
Let’s help you reclaim your menopause story.
Practical tools for your body, not lectures about it.
Before we heal, we regulate. Before we rise, we rest. Beauty is where we begin.
— Dr. Stacey Denise | The Neuroaesthetic MD™
Does This Sound Like You?
When your nervous system eats first?
Some days you wake up tired—even after sleeping.
Touch feels wrong. Irritating. Or completely numb.
Your brain can’t find words. Fog everywhere.
Hot flashes. Mood swings. Or just… nothing.
You’re going through the motions.
And you’re wondering:
“Is this menopause? Autism? Both?
Why isn’t anything helping?”
You’re not shattered. Your nervous system is asking
for a different kind of care.
- Why isn't HRT or therapy enough?

Neuroaesthetic Medicine for Menopause
I’m Dr. Stacey Denise.
I’m Dr. Stacey Denise, and I help smart, sensitive women navigate menopause through the lens of neuroaesthetic medicine—where lifestyle medicine meets art, ritual, and sensory healing.
If menopause has you feeling depleted, overstimulated, and disconnected from yourself, you’re not broken. Your nervous system needs a different kind of care.
What I Do
- • Art, color, sound, aroma, and touch to regulate your nervous system
- • Lifestyle medicine for menopause symptoms—sleep, stress, hormones
- • Trauma-informed care and cultural wisdom to help you reclaim your menopause narrative
This isn’t about sterile protocols. It’s about practical tools that fit your real life and honor how you actually experience the world.
