This alternative look at the menopause is a full day dedicated to women who are undergoing this incredible time of transition. You are extended a very warm welcome to this workshop of empowerment, healing and self compassion to harness your own incredible, natural power during this creative time of life.

• Reconnecting with Goddess energy for restoring and strengthening self acceptance

• Naturally supportive approaches and holistic techniques for reducing stress, anxiety and fatigue and encouraging relaxation
