Menopause


"One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young."
Dorothy Canfield Fisher



Menopause, for most women, occurs in the second part of life, around the age of 50. It is characterized by less production of estrogen and progesterone, causing cessation of the menstrual cycle for at least 12 months. Symptoms include hot flashes, sweating, vaginal dryness, headaches, forgetfulness, cold hands and feet, bladder infections, difficulty breathing, irritability and dizziness.

This time in your life is an opportunity for resolution; a time to soul search and identify unfinished business or heal old wounds. This psychological and spiritual cleansing brings newfound peace and wellness.
