ABOUT

About Jeannie Beaudin…

I am a retired pharmacist who specialized in balancing women’s hormone for over 10 years while I owned my own pharmacy. Clients appreciated my broad knowledge of non-drug, natural and standard treatment options. I took the time with each client to thoroughly review their hormone-related symptoms, explain available choices and discuss her preferences for treatment. The detailed summary report I wrote afterward recorded the discussion for the client and was also used to communicate efficiently with her physician.

I have given many presentations to women’s group, other professionals and students to share my knowledge and to explain the work I was doing. I wrote a column for 10 years on various topics for a national pharmacy journal, Pharmacy Practice and Business. For over 20 years, I reviewed educational articles for the Canadian Council for Continuing Education in Pharmacy (CCCEP), the organization the conducts peer-reviews and approves ongoing education for practicing pharmacists in Canada.

My book

Several of my clients suggested I should write a book and, once I fully retired in January 2016, I finally had the time to do it. Can I speak to the Hormone Lady? Managing Menopause and Hormone Imbalances, published in February 2019, explains how hormone imbalances cause unpleasant symptoms and describes step-wise approaches that can be used to restore balance, eliminate symptoms and help women feel like themselves again. Its goal is to enable women to understand what their symptoms can tell them, and to help them get involved in their choice of treatment. The book is available on all major electronic book sites and on Amazon as a paperback. Here is the Universal Link:

My Health Blog

I started my blog to practice my writing skills and reach out to my future book audience… initially writing about women’s health issues and hormone imbalances. Over the months, with reader feedback, the blog gradually expanded to discuss a wider variety of health issues, with an emphasis on disease prevention. I hope you enjoy and benefit from the discussion, and please pass along any ideas you have for future blogs.

My Art

And now I have become an artist as well as a writer. I mostly work in watercolour, butt also in graphite, charcoal and pastel. I have a gallery page here on my website where you can view some of my work, and I sell my paintings at local art fairs as well as directly to buyers. I enjoy doing commissions too.

I love to work “en Plein Air” (on location, outdoors) as well as in my studio. As a sideline, I’ve developed Plein Air painting kits to help others get started with this fun activity, and I have even recorded a few lessons to start what I’ve learned, as part of the kit. Contact me if you’ve always had the urge to paint and I can help you get started.
