Holistic Perimenopause and Menopause Signs and Symptoms

A holistic approach considers the whole woman ~

Identifying the symptoms and signs of “the change” is empowering! When I first found a list like this, I was so relieved. I knew I wasn’t alone and I wasn’t going crazy! This list was adapted from “The 35 Symptoms of Menopause” developed by Judy Bayliss and Lucy L. Brown, Ph.D.

“You’ve helped to relieve a lot of the symptoms of perimenopause that were torturous to me.

I was trying to get through this on my own and not doing a very good job of it. Thank you so much!”

“What a total gift to discover YOU! My Personal Consultation was wonderful! Filling in the questionnaire not only gave me an opportunity to look at myself and see where

I was with the change, but your positive, informative, empathetic and uplifting feedback totally put me at ease with this change

in my life”!

“The Online Retreat is an inspiration. For anyone dealing with the physical, emotional and hormonal changes that life brings us, you certainly put the whole process into an eloquent light. And, it's motivating! Don't we all know how easy it is to get caught up in the daily grind and develop tunnel vision and lose that self-nurturing desire or even the energy to self-nurture.

I realize I have a long way to go in that department, but you and your retreat have

at least given me

a direction!”

“Even though I've done a lot of research, I was not aware of some of the remedies to help relieve symptoms.

Now, I am feeling

much better about when I react to stress. It is a relief to know that I am not hysterical or crazy.

I can see now that my hormones have been out of balance

for awhile.”
