Our Founder's story

Hi, I’m Helene — founder of MeWe&You.

We’ve created a digital solution to help women better understand their health and take control of what they can do to feel their very best — throughout perimenopause, menopause, and the exciting next chapter of life.

I’m a midlife woman myself.

The first time I ever heard the word perimenopause was when my life suddenly fell apart a few years ago — and I was struck by a paralysis. Stress was identified as the most likely trigger, but I never got a clear answer as to why my body had reacted so intensely, or why I had been struggling with so many wide-ranging symptoms for nearly 14 years.

I experienced intense mood swings, a constant sense of overwhelm, and waves of anxiety that would wash over me every evening at bedtime.

My sleep problems became so severe that I could barely sleep at all.

At the same time, my periods were still normal and regular — which meant that no one, not even my doctor, realized it could be perimenopause.

That’s when I discovered functional medicine — a science-based field focused on identifying the root causes of chronic illness and vague, hard-to-pin-down symptoms. I decided to retrain in this field and began my journey to heal myself through lifestyle changes.

Today, I’m a certified nutrition and health coach, as well as a functional medicine therapist.

By experimenting on myself, I’ve discovered what truly works for me — and now, I feel better than ever.

But the road here has been longer and more complex than I ever could have imagined.

“I know that health is deeply individual. We’re all unique — yet most solutions out there are designed as if one size fits all. That’s exactly why I decided to create MeWe&You. I want to help women experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause and menopause find the kind of personalized support I myself was missing during my hardest moments — support that’s simpler, more time-saving, and truly accessible to everyone.

Being able to share my story with you — and to build MeWe&You — has given my own health challenges a deeper meaning and purpose. I’m so glad you’re here, and I truly hope we can take this journey — together.”

With love,

Helene

Our Mission

Our mission is to modernize and improve the experience of perimenopause and menopause through new technology and up-to-date knowledge — both in everyday life and in the workplace.

Our Vision

Our vision is to make perimenopause and menopause easier and more manageable for everyone, every day — together, at home and at work.

Menopause hits many women hard — but the consequences go even further. It contributes to inequality in the workplace and a lack of women in key leadership positions.

It’s time we do more to change that — for everyone’s sake.

Our Sustainability Goals

We promote women’s right to health and well-being, gender equality and inclusion, digital innovation for perimenopause and menopause, and a sustainable working life for all.
