- Why do I feel like this?
- Can all these feeling really be menopause?
- Will I ever feel like me again?
- How can I feel fine one minute then totally lost the next?
- Why do people only ever talk about hot flushes? (I do love the freezer aisle in Tesco!)
A 3 hour online class looking at:
- An in-depth look at the hormonal changes in our regular monthly cycle (and what their purpose is)
- What effect those hormones have on different aspect of our mind and body
- Changes in hormones that occur in menopause (as their purpose changes)
- Early menopause and sudden menopause due to surgery, how this differs
- In-depth look at symptoms some women have – physical, mental and emotional
- Look at fascinating brain scans of women before and after menopause
- Comparison with the minor hormonal change men have at the same time
- Look at cultural differences of menopause, but physical and societal
- What foods can help support of change in hormones
- We look at the balancing act between cortisol (stress hormone) and oestrogen (fertility hormone), when one goes up the other goes down…..when oestrogen levels fall this has a huge impact on our emotions
- HRT – overview of what it is, what forms it can come in, what impact it can have
- Self help – the huge benefit reducing stress can have, we look at some what’s going on in our brain that causes anxiety and what we can do to reduce it.
- Look at studies showing even a few sessions of relaxation training can reduce hot flushes by 64% and night sweats by 95%
- We finish the session with a guided relaxation session, this helps us retain (and subconsciously make sense of) the information we’ve just covered. You leave the session feeling relaxed and refreshed.
Feedback from previous classes: ‘Thank you for providing and excellent and informative workshop. I had no idea so many mental and physical symptoms could be directly attributed to this little talked about phase of our life, but as they say knowledge is power! I loved the relaxation at the end and its reassuring to see there are practical steps I can take to easy myself through this natural aging process. Thoroughly recommend this for any woman….and indeed their partners!’ ‘Jennifer’s menopause workshop is a must for anyone embarking on that journey. It breaks down the silence and leaves you feeling more prepared and hopeful for the journal ahead. Jennifer has a unique way of delivering difficult topics in a refreshing fashion making her workshops informative and engaging with a wonderful antidote of humour when suitable. I will be recommending this workshop to everyone’ ‘This workshop has revealed a whole new way of thinking about the menopause. It has allowed me to understand the connections between the physical and emotional changes that I hadn’t connected until now and has given me a new found calmness through understanding and knowledge in a supportive environment. Thank you’ ‘You have demystified the myths and I feel I have an awareness of the signs and symptoms so I can recognise I am not actually losing my mind I am instead starting a natural process’
