If perimenopause has been hitting harder than you expected with disrupted sleep, stubborn weight gain, hot flushes, anxiety, bloating, mood swings, or that unsettling feeling of “why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”... I have the support that you need.

And a very special offer for you!

This transition can ask a lot of women. And pushing through the same way you always have generally makes things worse, not better.

For the next 72 hours, I’m opening a flash sale of 65% OFF my 9-week self-paced program Embodied Wisdom.

Normally $797, you can now access soooo much supportive and transformational info for ONLY $279! You save over $500!

Embodied Wisdom is the culmination of over 20 years of working with women, and my own lived experience of early menopause.

I've run Embodied Wisdom live 5 times and helped hundreds of women transform their menopause experience. Now it's an online guided self paced course to provide this support to you too!

It’s designed to help you:

🌿 balance your hormones naturally

🌿 sleep more deeply and wake feeling restored

🌿 reduce the inflammation, brain fog, anxiety, hot flushes

🌿 nourish and calm your nervous system

🌿 support your digestion and steady energy

🌿 release outdated patterns and habits that are preventing you from positive change

🌿 move through perimenopause with more ease, confidence, trust, and good health.

Embodied Wisdom isn’t about pushing your body into better health, or powering through symptoms.

Nor is it a quick fix approach or another program asking you to overhaul your life.

It’ is about treating the root causes of imbalance and learning how to live in a way that supports your changing hormones NOW, and as you move forward into the next chapter of your life.

Embodied Wisdom weaves small, nourishing habits into your everyday life; habits that calm your nervous system, support digestion, balance hormones, and reconnect you to your body’s innate intelligence.

These are rhythms you can return to again and again, and evolve as your needs change.

If your body has been asking (maybe loudly) for something different... let this be your moment to say YES to yourself!

Make 2026 your year of good health and consciously choosing ease and joy!

This week a yoga student shared that each time she does yoga she feels emotional and teary, sometime during and always at the end of the class in the stillness of relaxation.

We chatted about why this might be.

It's common to feel some emotion welling up as we mindfully move our body.

We store our experiences in our bodies which can be released through movement.

Another POV is that our bodies are starved of real connection.

We tend to be disconnected from our bodies in our everyday. We live and operate from our head & mind in a stream of continual doing.

So, when we slow down and DO tune in, it feels like we're finally meeting a long lost friend who's been craving this connection and attention.

Tears are a big sigh of relief. An 'Oh You Do See Me!"

A big "YES I want more of this."

This.... time for myself, for stillness, for meeting myself, a moment for self love and acknowledgement of all that you do each and every day.

If reading this makes you long for some time to connect with yourself, check out my Autumn Feminine Vitality Retreat.

4 days of peaceful inner connection, Yoga, Women's Wisdom and divine vego food!

Places are fill up and it's going to be beautiful!

If you're feeling a bit blah after the festive season, DON'T give yourself a hard time, but DO empower yourself with a simple and effective reboot for your gut, your habits, your rhythms and feel good again!

I've put together a short DIY Cleanse that you can do anytime and the New Year is a perfect time for a reset!

Over 10 days you'll be guided through 3 simple phases to nourish your nervous system, release toxins, support and reset your gut, your habits and your rhythms for your whole wellbeing.

This is an opportunity to redefine your relationship with your body and consciously choose your habits, to create stronger, happier digestion & create better health.

Many of our 'not so good habits' compromise digestion, which contributes to body inflammation, joint pain, mood and energy swings, poor sleep and other imbalances.

Stay on the same trajectory, and these little imbalances, your body's way of asking for change, can turn into disease.

Hit the reset button and give your system a chance to release toxins to revitalise now and protect your future health!

Inside the Cleanse you'll receive:

🌿 Access to the Course Hub with informative video trainings, guided questions. quizzes, and downloads

🌿 Recipes and guidebook to download and print

🌿 Meditations and breathing practices

🌿 Daily emails to guide you and keep you on track!

When it comes to cleansing and taking care of your self with Ayurveda, there is NO 'one size fits all' approach !

Inside this DIY Cleanse you'll learn about your unique Ayurvedic constitution so you can design an experience which suits your body's needs.

Head over to my bio to join and experience how the little choices you make each day truly do create your reality and can help you to thrive!

Check it out here.... https://living-ayurveda.newzenler.com/courses/10-day-cleanse

Here's to a healthy and happy 2026!

Joan and Jacq are an amazing team, both fountains of knowledge, who share their teachings with deep reverence and care. The weekend moved me in ways I hadn't imagined.
They created a safe space to 'just be' - in whatever form that took, and I felt safe and nurtured at every moment. They made sure each participant had their needs met for a nourishing, heart expanding weekend." - Oakey

🌿 Keeping it real… lately, I’ve been feeling the effects of a few indulgences.

Camping last weekend included...
🔥 Marshmallows by the fire
🍷 A couple of glasses of wine
🍫 And plenty of dark chocolate (my constant companion!)

And now I've been feeling

Foggy, tired, a little dull

My big toe knuckle is painful and my feet sore

I've had more broken sleep, and lower motivation

Sugar cravings are up (I could live on hot choc right now 🙈)

My morning meditation practice has slipping away… replaced with checking my phone 😬

And I'm feeling busier, frazzled, and more disconnected. 😢

I know that too many sweet treats have thrown off my microbiome and fueled cravings.

Add to that skipping my morning grounding practices, and it’s clear… It’s absolutely time for my Spring Conscious Cleanse & Reset!

I know from experience that the inflammation, dullness, sugar cravings, and frazzled energy will fall away once I reset. 🌷

Have you ever wondered which of your symptoms are actually optional?

Fatigue, bloating, restless sleep, cravings, PMS, even hot flushes… they don't need to be “just part of life.”

They’re signs your body is asking for support.

This cleanse isn’t about deprivation.
It’s about:
🌱 Coming home to yourself
🌱 Nourishing your nervous system
🌱 Remembering that health is rhythm, balance & kindness

✨ Join once and you’ll always have access to the live rounds each Spring + Autumn for a low alumni price!

💚 Not ready for the 21-day live reset? There’s also a 10-day DIY Cleanse to dip your toe in.

But if you join the live version, you’ll be held in community and supported directly by me every step of the way.

🌸 We start 12th September — ready to help you feel light, clear & energised for the holidays!

And the next 3 sign-ups get a bonus 20-min 1:1 with me.

PLUS 5% proceed are always donated to Trees For Life (SA) to support their good work for our environment. 🌱🌳
