One of the projects we work on in the 12 week course is Vision Mapping. . . where we collect images and quotes, phrases that are special, and small trinkets to add to our "vision board" . . . I would LOVE to see what your vision mapping board looks like!!!

🌺 Vision Mapping with Intention : the Sacred Season of Menopause 🌺 (revised and shortened from the lessons)

She does not end. She becomes.

As we cross the threshold into midlife, we are invited to step away from survival and into sovereignty.
Vision Mapping is not a bucket list. It is not goal-setting.
It is a sacred cartography of your inner landscape . . .
a soul-drawn map of who you are becoming.

It’s the art of listening inward and giving form to what rises.
With pen, picture, paint, or poem . . .
you gather the threads of what calls to you now…
and weave them into a tapestry of intention.

It is ritual.
It is reclaiming.
It is remembering that you are still allowed to dream.

✨ Begin with reflection. Ask yourself:

What is ready to fall away so that I may rise?

What does freedom look and feel like for me now?

Where is my energy being wasted—and where is it waiting to bloom?

What do I desire in this season, without apology?

What parts of me have been silenced that are ready to speak?

How do I want to feel in my body, my relationships, and my home?

There is no wrong way to create your vision map . . . only your way.
Gather images, words, colors, and symbols that reflect the woman you are becoming.

Let this map guide you through the fog and the fire.
Let it be a promise to yourself.

🕯️ You are not losing yourself. You are unearthing her.

🌿✨ Welcome to the New Season of the Menopause Midwife ✨🌿
Dearest friends, sisters, and seekers. . .

Many of you have known me as a homebirth midwife. A companion at the threshold of birth.
But there is another threshold . . . less spoken of, but just as sacred:
The passage into menopause.

While I will no longer be working with new birth clients, my heart and hands are now devoted to the women stepping into this second becoming . . . the wise, wild, radiant phase of life where we are asked not to fade . . . but to rise.

Here at The Menopause Midwife, I offer:
Coaching & Counseling through the sacred transition
Herbal & holistic support for symptoms
Natural alternatives to HRT, including peptide guidance
Emotional, creative, and spiritual nourishment
Deep listening, safe space, and woman-led care

This page is your space to be witnessed, supported, and reminded that you are not alone in this.

Let this be the next chapter of midwifery:
Not just for birthing babies, but for birthing yourself again.

Thank you for being here.
Let us rise together.

With love, always ✨
Amanda

🌿 Strawberry Leaves for Menopause Relief? Yes, Really! 🍓

If you're navigating the ups and downs of menopause, you know how frustrating hot flashes can be. Here's a natural remedy that might surprise you: strawberry leaves!

While we often enjoy the juicy fruit, the leaves of the strawberry plant are packed with beneficial compounds. Traditionally used in herbal medicine, strawberry leaves have mild astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. Some women find that drinking strawberry leaf tea helps balance hormones and reduce the frequency of hot flashes.

✨ Why consider strawberry leaves?
✔ Naturally supports hormonal balance
✔ May reduce hot flashes and night sweats
✔ Rich in vitamins and antioxidants
✔ Easy to brew as a gentle herbal tea

💡 How to try it: Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried strawberry leaves (and if you have them a few slices of dehydrated strawberries!) in hot water for 5–10 minutes. Add a touch of honey. Sip and relax!

As always, talk to your healthcare provider or midwife before adding new herbs to your routine—especially if you're on medications or managing other health conditions.

Just Breathe Holistic Birth is gently transitioning into the midwifery aspects of natural menopause care. I will of course still continue home birth education and non medicalized support, but the focus of my practice will be shifting to Natural Menopause Care through counseling and coaching. I hope you stay here on the page as we transition into this new phase.
