🌿 Hormones, stress, mental health & why early support matters 🌿

There’s been a lot of conversation lately about hormones, perimenopause, and women feeling “off” and I’m genuinely glad these topics are finally being spoken about openly.

One important piece of awareness I’d love to add (from a mental health and wellbeing lens) is this 💛

Many symptoms that women experience; especially in their 30s and early 40s, are not always hormonal decline. Very often, they’re the body and nervous system responding to chronic stress.

Ongoing stress can create symptoms that look and feel like hormonal imbalance, including:

• disrupted sleep
• anxiety or low mood
• brain fog or overwhelm
• emotional reactivity or burnout
• cycle changes
• feeling constantly “wired but tired”

These symptoms are real. They’re meaningful. And they’re often the body’s early signals asking for support, not something to push through or ignore.

From a wellbeing perspective, this is why seeking support early matters.

When stress is addressed early:

• the nervous system can settle
• emotional regulation improves
• sleep and clarity return
• the body doesn’t stay stuck in survival mode

Left unaddressed, chronic stress can compound over time and contribute to more significant mental, emotional, and physical health challenges later on.

This is where mental health support, nervous system regulation, and trauma informed care can make a real difference before things escalate.

At EKE Equine Kinship Experience and Carmody Counselling, I work with women to:

• recognise early stress signals
• understand what their body is communicating
• gently regulate the nervous system
• build emotional resilience and safety
• reconnect with themselves without judgement or labels

Support is available Australia-wide via Zoom, making it accessible no matter where you’re located.

If something feels “off,” you don’t need to wait until you’re in crisis. Early support is not weakness… it’s wisdom 🌱

So you keep seeing posts about Equine Assisted Therapy?
Wonder what it’s all about?
Why do some approaches not look the same as others?
- Because some models are not… & after doing this for near a decade now I can say unless you’ve done some deep inner work you still won’t fully be there as a therapist for your clients.

What I can guarantee at EKE Equine Kinship Experience is I Carmody Glass have done ✅ that inner work and so ready to help more people on their life journey with my horses on a soul level.

Equine Kinship Experience (EKE) delivers deeply embodied, intuitive, and transformative equine-assisted sessions that go beyond clinical frameworks.

Through somatic awareness, symbolic art processes, energetic attunement, and authentic connection with horses, EKE supports clients to release emotional patterns, reconnect with their inner knowing, and restore nervous system balance.

Our work is grounded, soulful, trauma-informed, and rooted in lived experience — offering a depth of personal transformation that reaches far beyond outcome-driven or institution-oriented models.

Who is it for?
EKE is ideal for people who want to go deeper than talk therapy, who are ready for emotional release, inner clarity and real change.

Want to discover more book a trial session by calling Carmody on 0466 423 584 or messaging the EKE page - today!

Don’t put your future on hold, become the best version of yourself now. It’s never too late to change your life and embrace / find your path. See below ⬇️ some experiences had by participants at EKE.

Spots are limited for December and January sessions — message early to secure your place.
