SisterFire

The Menopause Research Movement

Born from my own experience of being misdiagnosed, misprescribed, and dismissed, SisterFire is a movement for education, research, and medical reform — created to ignite awareness and demand real understanding of women’s hormones and health.

After years of pain, confusion, and silence, I discovered my hormone therapy had been prescribed incorrectly by multiple practitioners — a mistake that profoundly impacts millions of women’s hormonal health and quality of life.

SisterFire calls for mandatory physician education and a proactive model of care that treats menopause before the cascade of diseases that too often follow untreated hormone decline.

The Symbol

I’ve created golden yoni pendants — symbols of hope, strength, and transformation. Each one represents our collective voice for change.

Available in two sizes, with or without a set gemstone, and a smaller half-size design.

5% of profits support local non-profit companies andeducational initiatives advancing menopause research and awareness.

Melissa’s Story

What began in silence became a fire.
This is the story that started SisterFire.

Over the course of 1.5 years plunging into pain and darkness, I saw one naturopath and four doctors. Before that, I had been gaslit by my family doctor for four years and mismanaged by a specialist for a frozen shoulder — both failing to recognise the hormonal crisis unfolding. I went from vibrant to dormant — riddled with anxiety and sinking into a deep depression I could no longer explain away as stress or ageing.

I could no longer hold my life together. I was standing on the precipice of losing everything — my business, my home, and the sense of self I had always known

“Transforming silence into science, and awareness into action.”
