About

Welcome to Midlife Flow, a space dedicated to helping women navigate the transformative journey of perimenopause with confidence, balance, and grace. Whether you’re experiencing hormonal changes for the first time or have been searching for ways to manage the symptoms naturally, you’re in the right place.

My Story

I’m Liza Schizas, the heart behind Midlife Flow. My own experience with perimenopause was eye-opening, filled with challenges that I wasn’t prepared for. Like many women, I wasn’t fully aware of the profound shifts happening in my body and how they would affect my energy, mood, and well-being. As I searched for answers, I realized how little support and information was available. I felt compelled to change that.

With a background in rehabilitation, nutrition, and self-care, I’ve spent the last few years studying hormone health, holistic practices, and natural solutions for managing perimenopause symptoms. Midlife Flow was born out of a passion to share what I’ve learned, so no woman has to go through this phase of life feeling alone or confused.

I religiously completed these classes as it brought  together elements of Karate, Taekwondo, Boxing, Muay Thai, Capoeira and Kung Fu in a fun and easy-to-follow way.
