Your Peri/Menopause

A pivotal moment in a woman's life, peri-menopause begins the transition that culminates with menopause.

Peri-menopause may begin in your mid-40s and you may not enter your wise woman years until your mid-50s.

How you look after yourself during the time approaching menopause can have a direct impact on how you experience the journey.

Some of us have the challenge of a medically induced menopause and must navigate the transformation with little or no support.

This workshop is for anyone who would like to live in their body with ease and prepare for the profoundly enriching rite of passage into the wise woman years.

We invite you to be curious and open-hearted as we explore together this most maligned and least appreciated time of life. You will learn much to prepare you and sustain you through it all.

Join me and Hilary, for a fun filled 4.5 hours exploring the perimenopausal journey. Together we will blast away some of the myths surrounding the time of life often referred to as the ‘Second Spring’. A time of reflection, to let go of old patterns that no longer serve you and birth the elder within..

Please only sign up for this offering only if you can attend in person.
