Your health care provider says you need to improve on some things, but you don't know how...

Find space, calm & support here 😌🙌🏼
Spring Session starts April 16th, 2025 📅
We'll cover everything from mental health and physical impacts of hormone fluxes and you'll gain an appreciation for how all the systems of the body work together!
My goal is to explain things in a simple, easy to understand way and make learning about the body as fun and engaging as possible 😁
Do any of these sound familiar?
Physical Symptoms:
- "I feel like my body is betraying me—hot flashes and energy slumps hit out of nowhere."
- "I can’t sleep through the night anymore; it’s exhausting."
- "Why do I feel so achy all the time? Is this normal?"
- "Sex has become painful, and I don’t know what to do about it."
Cognitive & Emotional Struggles:
- "The brain fog is real—I forget what I’m saying mid-sentence."
- "I feel anxious all the time, this is new for me."
- "Mood swings are making me feel like a stranger to myself."
- "I just want to feel like myself again."
- "How do I stop these symptoms from taking over my life?"
Frustrations Over Lack of Support & Understanding:
- "I need advice that actually works—not just 'deal with it.'"
- "Is there a way to make this transition easier?"
- "I feel so alone—no one talks about this openly."
- "Why isn’t there more information or resources for women like me?"
Welcome To Charting New Waters!
Hi, I'm Zoya Dorner and I'm thrilled you're here!
As a lifelong Alaskan, and a lover of ocean adventures, I'm eager to have you join me as we get underway on this year-long journey together.
My 25-year career as a physical therapist has given me the opportunity to support women through the lifespan, but when my own body began changing, I found myself in uncharted territory as unexplained symptoms cropped up.
Despite my expertise in women's health, I mistook my symptoms—B12 deficiency, disrupted sleep, unexplained weight gain—as pandemic stress rather than hormonal shifts. Those 3 AM wake-ups became my unwelcome routine, and like many women, I accepted this as my "new normal."
My journey from confusion to clarity revealed that nothing was "wrong" with me. These changes weren't just explainable—they were addressable. With support and understanding how my body works, I made some shifts to my routine and felt so much better.
Now, as a Women's Health Coach, I'm passionate about supporting women and helping them understand how the systems of the body work together.
Its a lot of work to read and learn when you don't feel well or are tired- allow me do the heavy lifting! I"ll present you with the latest info on female hormones and the "best-of" strategies for keeping balance in the body.
Whether you're generally curious about how to support yourself in perimenopause or menopause or if if you have symptoms you would like to understand you're at the right place.
I invite you to join me!

How This Class Works
Each month you'll gain access to new online modules of information. This will include videos and PDF's to review at your own pace.
The videos on various subtopics will be short (5-8 minute) videos with subtitles. Each month will have approximately 30-45 minutes total of video available for review, depending on the topic.
There are no requirements to watch videos in the course. You can pick and choose what topics you are curious about.
You'll also have access to a monthly zoom Q&A session with Zoya in a group setting, a monthly masterclass with guest speakers as well as four quarterly 1:1 zoom meetings with Zoya where you can ask specific questions regarding your health goals, strategies for addressing symptoms, etc.
If you aren't able to make it to the zoom Q&A's or Masterclasses, they will be recorded and saved in your course curriculum for later viewing.
Also, if you'd like to submit a question for the Q&A but won't be present, no problem! I can still answer your question during the Q&A time.
