For anyone interested in learning more about menopause and natural therapies to support you through this stage of life. Check out the below post and upcoming workshop at Breathe, Trim.
There has been so much coverage of Menopause in the media in recent weeks, it can be difficult to make sense of all the information. It is fantastic that we are finally having these conversations about the Menopause. It has been a taboo subject for far too long. Joe Duffy on liveline was sensitive and compassionate in response to so many heart breaking stories women shared. These were echoed with Davina McCall on the channel 4 documentary. While both programmes were very informative on the symptoms of menopause, the solutions presented were only focused on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with little or no mention of alternatives.
For a variety of reasons many women cannot take HRT. So what options are there for the wide ranging symptoms of perimenopause? Knowledge is key and educating yourself on the stages of menopause is a very good start. Consider some of the alternative therapy options from homeopathy reflexology and acupuncture to mention a few. Every woman’s menopause experience is unique, and one size does not fit all with regard to support and treatment of symptoms. Niamh Daly is a leading light in how to better manage and adapt our lifestyles (and our yoga) to our changing needs during peri menopause so that we can thrive in the post menopause years.
Regardless of whether you take HRT or not, lifestyle changes are necessary “to future proof ourselves” for the post menopause years (Catherine O’Keeffe .ie a wealth of information). A heathy balanced diet, good hydration, activities to strengthen joints and muscles, reducing stress levels are all key factors.
In our workshop this Sunday 23rd May on the stages of Menopause we will examine these factors and why they are so important.
Katrina Kelly of will join us with advice on the benefits of reflexology and other alternative therapies.
Our 2 hour workshop costs €24 includes summary notes and video link for 7days. Pre-booking essential. Any queries send DM, email or sms.
