Wiser Body: An Integrative Workshop for the Menopause Transition

At Astute Counseling & Wellness · Lakeview

For anyone in perimenopause or menopause: upper-body tension, a body that has started to feel unfamiliar, a sense of identity in flux. Kathryn leads the first half with self-myofascial release for the neck, shoulders and jaw, somatic movement, and practical guidance on pacing rest through the week. Lisa Love leads the second with The Trinity, her blend of somatic breathwork, Reiki and sound. No experience needed.
