Jamie Lord started writing on the typewriter in her parents' office, where she hung out after elementary school and dreamed of being a published author since. Granted, she always imagined writing the next Great American Novel, not a holistic wellness guide for perimenopausal women, but life has a sense of humor so here we are. When not writing during bouts of perimenopause-induced insomnia, Jamie regularly practices yoga and meditation (as an alternative to murder) and is a certified energy healer and Karuna Reiki Master. She lives with her (very patient) family in Atlanta.
