With Marion Colledge & Sarah Parker

As women we have the privilege in our lifetime to cycle and rebirth over and over. Constantly learning, changing and evolving as we move through life.

The end of our ovulating period and the transition to a new cycle known as the perimenopausal and menopausal period (or the 3rd age) can signify so much, and with it comes a lot of new experiences in the body.

With this workshop we want to give women the tools to make perimenopause a more positive and less confusing experience. Some women experience symptoms as much as 10 years before they actually stop their periods, and more commonly it is around the mid-forties that we start to wonder whether something is ‘not quite right’.

Much like with menstrual cycles, your body will be expressing its feelings about the hormonal shifts that are happening, and these will show up as symptoms; hot flushes, mood swings, headaches, interrupted sleep, dryness of the skin, eyes, and vagina, feeling overwhelmed, angry and tired. And unfortunately, the list goes on.

In this workshop Nutritionist and Medical Herbalist Marion Colledge will talk you through the stages of peri-menopause and menopause and explain what is happening in the body. She will also give some practical, easy to follow and evidence-based advice on how to nourish yourself with the right foods, which supplements can be useful, and which herbs can support you on your individual journey. Physiotherapist and Pelvic Health specialist Sarah Parker will be sharing hands-on techniques to support you and your body through this transition so that you can be fully present in getting to know yet another incredible iteration of yourself!

Come along to find out about the simple ways you can best support yourself, and try out some delicious snacks and herbal tasters all designed to bolster your hormonal health and support the transition into your 3rd age.

There will be time for a Q&A at the end, so come with questions!
