Course Description

Menopause has the potential to be a very special time - a time of transition from one phase of life to another. In many cultures it is a time that is cherished and celebrated, but too often this is not the case. Many women have a great deal of apprehension around Menopause and often suffer from debilitating symptoms that can go on for years.

From an Ayurvedic point of view, much can be done to manage the underlying causes of these symptoms, and to prepare for this time of life, ensuring the transition is as smooth, even as enjoyable as possible....

In this 2 hour course you'll learn:

  • a clear Ayurvedic explanation of the Menopausal transition, from Peri to Post Menopause
     

  • why women have hot flushes, insomnia, dryness, overwhelm and sensitivity.... and what can be done to help
     

  • dietary changes to support digestion and prevent excessive weight gain
     

  • simple practices to help calm and stabilise the mind and nervous system function
     

  • herbal preparations and treatments that can help
     

  • what can help women develop greater stability, vitality and self-compassion through this natural transition.


This course is suitable for complete newcomers to Ayurveda, but also for those more familiar with its principles. 

It is suitable for women starting to experience peri-menopausal symptoms, those right in the middle of menopause and also for women in their late 30s and 40s who would like to better understand and prepare for the transition ahead!

The cost of this course is just AUD$47 which allows you to access all of the materials for 2 years.
