Perimenopause and menopause can feel like you’ve been thrown into a storm you never signed up for. One day you’re navigating life as usual, and the next your body feels foreign, your emotions unpredictable, and your energy scattered. The truth is, so much of this struggle isn’t just about “hormones” — it’s about inflammation.
Inflammation is your body’s alarm system. In small doses, it’s protective. But when stress is constant, the alarm never switches off. And during this stage of life, that chronic stress response shows up as hot flashes, brain fog, weight that won’t shift, restless sleep, aching joints, and a short fuse that surprises even you.
Stress is the spark behind the fire.
• Physical stress — the toxins we carry, the processed food we push through, the demands we place on our bodies.
• Emotional stress — the big feelings that surface when life shifts and identities change.
• Mental stress — the relentless load of being a busy woman, holding the pieces of work, family, and everything in between.
When these stresses pile up, inflammation takes hold. Your nervous system stays stuck in fight, flight, or freeze. You end up locked in the same cycles, the same routines, the same exhaustion that slowly wears down your body, mind, and spirit.
But here’s the truth you might not hear often enough: you have the power to hit pause. To step out of the storm. To give your body the space to reset.
This is your invitation to step away from the noise for an afternoon mini-retreat. To let acupuncture and restorative yoga work together to calm your nervous system, reduce inflammation, and release the stress your body has been holding onto. In just a few hours, you’ll feel your shoulders drop, your breath deepen, your mind clear. It’s like giving your whole system the reset it’s been craving.
This season is a turning point. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through it. You can soften. You can heal. You can reclaim your vitality.
Join us for an afternoon that is as much about restoring your body as it is about remembering who you are beneath the stress and the symptoms. Link in the bio
