🧠 Curious about what perimenopause does to the brain?

Dr. Lisa Mosconi is one of the neuroscientists I turn to for evidence-based, compassionate insights into how hormonal shifts impact cognitive health and aging. Her 13-minute TED-style talk is concise, clear, and incredibly valuable.

If you’re in perimenopause, know someone who is, or work with midlife women in any capacity, this video is a must-watch. Understanding the neuroscience of perimenopause isn’t just fascinating — it’s empowering.

🌠 Meet the Team Tuesday: Shelley Jackson ~ RMT and Entrepreneur

I am a proud, ninth generation Canadian 🍁 My maternal grandmother’s maiden name is Baillargeon; her family emigrated from France in 1650 🇫🇷 My paternal grandfather’s surname is Hnatiuk; his family emigrated from the Ukraine in 1913 🇺🇦 Yet, my maiden name is Jackson. How did this come to be? 🧐 As my dear friend Paula would say, “That’s a great question, better than Why.” Because that is my birth father’s surname. His father, my grandfather, was one of 20 siblings and he was a very independent soul. He wanted a last name that people could easily pronounce and spell. So, as soon as he was old enough to leave home, he changed it to Jackson. Increasingly I approach life, both personally and professionally, with the question “How did this come to be?" 😌

In 2005 I transitioned from an associate to the owner of Buena Vista Massage Therapy Clinic 🕊 That same year my application was accepted to explore InnerSpace and participate in a six-day full cadaver dissection workshop facilitated by Gil Hedley. Without a doubt, this has been the most impactful educational experience of my life 🧘🏼‍♀️

With an ever-present desire to learn, I completed the 200-hour, yoga teacher-training program on Salt Spring Island during the summer of 2015. Connecting the breath 🌬with the body🫀and the mind 🧠, while staying present in the moment, is an ongoing pursuit - one that I love and am naturally drawn to 😇

🌟 Which of your strong suits are you most proud of?
I am curious, inquisitive, and gregarious. The combination of these characteristics assists me in creating a genuine connection with people in order for me to learn how best to be of service and build community.
