A GENTLE, SOMATIC APPROACH TO NAVIGATING MENOPAUSE WITH WISDOM, CONFIDENCE AND SELF-COMPASSION
“What if menopause isn’t something to push through or fix, but an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with yourself?”
Discover a different way to move through menopause, one rooted in honouring the intelligence of your body.
The menopause conversation often takes one of two directions: push through and endure symptoms, or fight to stay forever young. But The Embodied Menopause offers an alternative approach. Through gentle somatic practices and personal stories, movement teachers Charlotte Watts and Leo Taylor guide you to move with, rather than against, this powerful life transition. They explore how to meet your changing body and fluctuating emotions with compassion and curiosity, so you can rediscover balance, energy and a renewed sense of self.
Drawing on the principles of somatics – an intuitive approach to movement that connects mind, body and emotion – this book helps you to release stress, soothe the nervous system and reconnect with your natural rhythms. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms of menopause or just sensing a need for change, you’ll find simple, accessible practices for easing anxiety, improving sleep, restoring vitality and cultivating inner calm.
Inside you’ll learn about how to:
- Understand the seasons of life and what it means to mature
- Listen to your true needs and work with your available energy
- Navigate mood changes and sleep shifts that often accompany hormonal transitions
- Use accessible somatic practices to ease anxiety, reduce stress and cultivate calm
- Rediscover your core strength, confidence, creativity and sense of self
The Embodied Menopause is the wise friend who reminds you that you are not broken or diminished, but becoming more fully yourself.
