Maxima Hive Women’s Health Series: Midlife Women’s Health Q&A

DATE: Tuesday, June 16th 2026

Pelvic Health, Hormones & Supplements: An Expert Q&A for Women 40+

Sneeze peeing? Low libido? Vaginal dryness? Hormone questions? Wondering which supplements are actually worth your money?

You're not alone, and you don't have to figure it all out alone. 

Join us for an open, judgment-free expert Q&A designed specifically for women 40+ who want clear, practical answers about the changes happening in midlife.

Many women experience symptoms like bladder leaks, shifts in libido, vaginal dryness, sleep changes, weight changes, and hormone fluctuations—but often don't know what's normal, what's treatable, or how to even begin the conversation.

This evening creates a supportive space to bring those questions into the open, without overwhelm, jargon, or shame.

Together, we'll explore:

• How perimenopause and menopause affect pelvic health, bladder function, intimacy, and overall wellbeing
• Which symptoms are common—and which deserve closer attention
• What hormone therapy can and cannot do
• How to navigate the often confusing world of supplements
• Practical, evidence-informed steps to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in midlife

Most importantly, this is a live, expert-led Q&A where attendees are encouraged to ask their own questions in a warm, supportive environment.

Part of the New Women's Health Series at Maxima Hive

This event is part of a new Women's Health Series at Maxima Hive in Arlington, developed in partnership with Jelena Babic, co-founder of Maxima Gift & Book Center and Maxima Hive, and Catherine Walter, NBC-HWC.

The series brings trusted experts, practical education, and meaningful community connection to women navigating perimenopause, menopause, aging, and whole-body health.

Our goal is simple: to help women feel more informed, less alone, and better supported through this stage of life.

Dr. Lynn earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology/Anthropology and Psychology from Middlebury College. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the MGH Institute of Health Professions in 2014. She went on to do an Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency, then became a Board Certified Specialist in Orthopedics (OCS) and Women’s/Pelvic Health (WCS). She has also completed certificates of achievement in pelvic and obstetrics PT through the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and became a Certified Lymphedema Therapist  through Klose Training. Lynn did her 200-hour Therapeutic Yoga Teacher training through Soma Yoga Institute in 2023. She is working on an Integrative Lifestyle Medicine Certificate through Ginger Garner’s Living Well Institute and advanced perinatal training with Lynn Schulte’s Institute for Birth Healing. She is the president of the APTA MA Pelvic Health Special Interest Group.

Lynn works with patients of all genders and ages and treats all pelvic health and orthopedic conditions. She believes every patient has a unique story that needs to be carefully listened to and understood. Her approach is gentle and calming. She empowers patients to feel well educated about their condition and supports them throughout their wellness journey.  She treats the whole body and can help a wide variety of orthopedic issues from head to toe.

Lynn enjoys working on various research projects such as Strength After Breast Cancer and pelvic health equity and access initiatives. She likes to get out in the community to lead educational workshops because while at least half of people suffer from a pelvic health disorder in their lifetime they tend to suffer in silence. Outside of work Lynn enjoys cooking, reading, jogging, electric biking and hiking with her kids and husband and quality time in the backyard with the family, dog and guinea pigs.
