“Loving ourselves through the process of vulnerability is the bravest thing we'll ever do.”

Empowering women in midlife
Let's come together to break down the stigmas surrounding our midlife transition and nurture a narrative of hope, inner-strength, connection and resilience.
Midlife transition
Perimenopause & menopause is often seen as an end or something to be feared, but it can truly be a new beginning. This season of life provides us with the chance to take control and prioritise our own health and well-being
Despite living in an age that presents us with countless pressures to remain young-looking forever, going inward during these transitional moments can offer up invaluable insight if embraced wholeheartedly.
The path to a graceful transition
With studies showing a growing body of evidence, it's becoming clear that there is an empowering alternative approach to perimenopause & menopause available. This holistic model focuses on nourishment, contentment and balance which can help ease common discomforts while also enhancing our overall satisfaction with life. As the support for this type of care increases so does its potential in helping us live more joyfully.
Equip yourself with the knowledge to effectively navigate this transition and build a powerful personal resource kit.
Nervous system
During perimenopause & menopause, our ability to maintain a balanced nervous system is threatened. Hormonal fluctuations associated with the natural cessation of ovarian estrogen production can significantly affect different areas in our central nervous system – and this even occurs amidst familiar environments or stressors. This delicate balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems must be monitored closely if we're hoping for an easier transition into midlife.
This midlife transition can bring a host of body changes, ranging from physiological changes in cortisol levels and blood pressure to an increased heart rate. Understanding the nervous system during this time is key in identifying ways we can better manage our health through perimenopause & menopause.
By drawing on a somatic approach, I provide the support you need to restore balance in your nervous system. Discover how focused awareness of body sensations can unlock emotional stress and create an atmosphere of trust that leads to greater freedom from anxiety or worry.
Embark on a Unique Journey to Deeper Wellbeing
By taking on an all-encompassing perspective I am interested to help women during their midlife transition which can ultimately lead them towards improved happiness, sense of connection, agency and self-love.
We review topics such as the effects our nervous systems have on behaviour; accepting aging gracefully along with uncovering one’s shadow self for healing past trauma, connecting with body cycles through embodiment practices like mindfulness practice or yoga therapy, embracing the journey of self-discovery and growth that come with letting go, developing an understanding of boundaries while also welcoming our big emotions while feeling safe.
Mindfulness, Yoga Therapy, Breath work and a Somatic therapeutic framework are used to support the Empowering Women in Midlife sessions.
