Why this workshop
What is actually happening in your body
If you have ever said 'I just don't feel like myself anymore,' or you love a woman who has, this workshop is for you.
Perimenopause and Midlife can begin in the 30's and unfold over as many as 17 years. It is the season when thyroid issues surface, when autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's appear or flare, when sleep, mood, and energy come undone, and when a woman is most often told her labs are 'normal,' even as she knows something is genuinely wrong.
Most of us were never taught any of this. Not in our trainings. Not by our doctors. So we reach for the practices we know, and we tread water, while the thing underneath goes unnamed.
In this workshop, Kim Beekman and I slow all the way down and walk through all of it together, from the cell, to the Soul, to the Spirit. What every woman needs to know about her own Midlife journey, and what every teacher, healer, and practitioner needs to know about the women in their care.
Who this is for
For the women, and for the people who serve them
Women in Midlife who are tired of being told they are fine when they know something is off, and want to understand their own bodies.
Yoga teachers, breathwork and meditation guides whose students linger after class and say they are exhausted, anxious, not themselves.
Therapists, counselors, coaches, and mental health professionals who keep meeting 'depression,' 'anxiety,' and 'burnout' that may have a physiological root no one has checked.
Anyone who loves a woman in Midlife and wants to understand what she is moving through.
You do not need a medical background. We assume your intelligence, not your training.
What we will walk through
All 5 layers of the Midlife journey
This is the full conversation, the one the free guide only begins. We move through all 5 layers of the Midlife journey, the physical, the mental, the emotional, the energetic, and the spiritual, woven together across the 2 of us.
The Physical:
the cascade from sugar, processed food, chronic stress, and the hormone shifts of Perimenopause, into inflammation, gut, and autoimmune. The 4 hormonal pillars, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol, and what each one's decline actually feels like.
The Labs:
why 'normal' is not the same as optimal, the exact labs to request, how to read them through functional ranges, and how to obtain them even when a doctor will not order them.
The Ayurvedic Lens:
why the same Midlife shift looks completely different in different women. Through the doshas, you will see how Perimenopause lands as anxiety and scattered dryness in one woman (Vata), as heat, intensity, and hot flashes in another (Pitta), and as heaviness, flatness, and weight gain in another (Kapha). Knowing a woman's constitution tells you which practices will help her and which will throw her further out of balance.
The Mental:
the brain fog, the word that will not come, the focus that no longer holds, and the quiet fear that this is early dementia. How estrogen feeds the brain, why so much of a woman's cognitive clarity at 75 is built in exactly these years, and which causes are worth checking first.
The Emotional:
the identity quake of Midlife, when a woman who knew exactly who she was no longer feels at home in herself. Some of what gets named 'depression' or 'anxiety' has a physical cause that was never tested. And the part almost no one connects: how much of this, left unattended, sits behind the rise in gray divorce, as libido, patience, and connection quietly drain away, and a marriage can take the blame for what is partly physiology.
The Nervous System and the Trauma Layer:
how stored trauma keeps the nervous system braced, drives cortisol, and feeds the same inflammation we are working with from the physical side. Why a pranayama practice is a gift and also, on its own, only reaches so far when the fire is deeper. In Ayurveda and yoga these layers are the koshas, the sheaths from the physical body inward to Spirit, and we map where in those layers the real work lives.
The Soul and the Spirit:
how a resourced body gives you room for the bigger questions, and how the question of Midlife shifts from 'who am I in my weight gain and my fatigue?' to 'who am I in my well-being?'
The 5 Questions
you can ask a student, a client, a friend, or yourself, and the one sentence that points the way.
We are not here to promote any single path. We are here to show you a range of pathways forward, whether it is you or the women in your care who feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or simply not at home in themselves. And we are here to help you read your own body and your own labs.

How can perimenopause look different in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha women?
Through the Ayurvedic lens, the same shift can land differently in each woman. In the workshop I describe it as anxiety and scattered dryness in a Vata woman, heat, intensity, and hot flashes in a Pitta woman, and heaviness, flatness, and weight gain in a Kapha woman. Knowing a woman's constitution can help you choose which practices to try.
Who is the workshop for?
It is for women in midlife who want to understand their own bodies, and for the people who serve them: yoga teachers, breathwork and meditation guides, therapists, counselors, and coaches. It is also for anyone who loves a woman in midlife. You do not need a medical background.
