Common symptoms midlife women face are

It’s not all bad news. I don’t believe that we only have power and beauty when we are younger. I don’t believe our best days are over. There are natural ways to regain our health and vitality. There is so much good to embrace in this stage of our lives.

The truth is:Midlife is a powerful stage of life when the experience and knowledge of many decades evolve into new depths of understanding, self-expression and freedom.

But believe me, I understand the despair. Several years ago I went through a traumatic end to my marriage. After 20 years together my husband shocked me by leaving suddenly to be with a younger co-worker. The big recession hit, my clients lost their jobs and my practice took a dive.

All this while my hormones went through their biggest change since adolescence. Upheaval was both within and without and brought me face to face with the question of my worth.

I was standing on the rim of the pit of depression and despair. The view was familiar because as a teen I had fallen in that dark pit and it took me years to get back out again.</p?

In my 20s, 30s and 40s I explored many health and personal development practices so that I would never fall that low again. I studied bodywork, nutrition, meditation, yoga philosophy, permaculture, nature connection, creativity and healing rituals.

When I looked down into that pit of despair in midlife, I was able to step away from the edge and put into practice all I had learned. Gradually the light returned and I created a new, rich life full of blessings, love and possibilities.

The truth is Midlife Women are:

The truth is:
We are at the prime of our lives

In traditional societies, elders are revered for their wisdom, and middle-aged women look forward to this special status. In these cultures women experience very few symptoms of menopause.

Because we don’t have broad cultural support, we have to be extra strong, more prepared and very clear about our value as midlife women.

When we have the right mindset, tools and support, the midlife years are an extraordinary passage, and not a long season of despair.

Who Is This Program For?

Don’t miss out on the support you need to make your midlife transition the most amazing and positive transformation of your life!

I am especially drawn to working with women in life transitions and recovering from traumas. I attained certification in CranioSacral Therapy, Acupressure, and Holistic Nutrition so that I could support women to navigate painful times and come out feeling significantly better.

During my 40s I taught regular workshops on menopause at the Acupressure Institute while simultaneously going through my own physical, mental and emotional changes of perimenopause. This experience heightened my awareness and deepened my understanding of this special time in a woman’s life.

Then, in my late 40s, I experienced family upheavals, an assault, and the end of my marriage. It was terrible, but I was determined to rise from the ashes, and so I put into practice what I had learned from decades of studying yoga, meditation, healing rituals, nutrition, bodywork, permaculture, nature connection, creativity, and self-expression.

I emerged stronger and happier than ever before, and I am now committed to empowering women in midlife to harvest the potent gifts of this transformative stage.

In my professional life, I’ve been featured in national media including The Huffington Post, Massage, and Massage & Bodywork, and in local media including “Good Day Sacramento” (CBS), Capitol Public Radio (NPR), and Fox News. I’ve taught at leading complementary and alternative healthcare schools, including the Acupressure Institute and Bauman College, and I was a certified teaching assistant at the Upledger Institute. I’ve lectured at UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, and the National Association of Nutrition Professionals annual conference.
