Hello, from the other side…
I know how you feel, because I’ve been there. And I can PROMISE you that with support & guidance it WILL get better.
I know you’re frustrated, you can’t see a way out of the (brain)fog. But let me tell you, emerging on the other side of menopause has been nothing less than expansive, empowering and life-affirming.
If you are journeying into peri/menopause, please know you are not alone. The guidance and practices that I offer aim to take women on a journey of self-exploration and self-discovery, ultimately getting to know yourself better and what lights you up. It’s time to prioritize yourself, it’s time to prioritize your pleasure.

I totally get the fatigue, overwhelm and lack of support you feel when your hormones start to shift.
My own experience of moving into peri-menopause in my early forties totally caught me off guard. I never even heard this word mentioned 10 years ago. I was an ambitious career-driven woman in my 20s-30s. When I happily started a family at the age of 36, I applied the same drive and ambition to be the perfect mother, the perfect wife and an entrepreneur launching my yoga career and running my own studio. All this was at the expense of my health. I put myself last; not sleeping enough or nourishing myself properly.
By my early 40’s I was running on empty, ignoring the creeping anxiety, the heart palpitations, achy joints, low libido and forgetfulness. I spent about eight years in perimenopause residing in liminal space - that disorienting point between where I once was and where I was headed. Longing for a version of myself I once knew, grieving the loss of parts that formed my identity, unsure of what was next. This grief would at times show up as depression, rage, irritability and a sense of betrayal over my body no longer serving me in the same way.
gabriella’s story
I got to know myself better, focused on the things that really mattered and tuned into my heart’s deepest desire and its expression in the world.
Although I felt alone in my journey then, I had a sense of being held by the self-care practices cultivated through yoga, somatic movement, meditation and nutrition. These practices would initiate me in the unspoken wisdom inherited from a lineage of strong, compassionate and resilient women.
Looking back I realise that residing in the discomfort of this ‘in between space’ gifted me the opportunity to embark on deep inner work, growth and transformation. I got to know myself better, focused on the things that really mattered and tuned into my heart’s deepest desire and its expression in the world.

Menopause is ONLY midlife. It is our second spring. A chance to re-new and re-calibrate. To let go of what is no longer serving us. To bravely and courageously step forward into the next chapter. The new. The exciting.
THIS IS NOT YOUR MOTHER’S MENOPAUSE.
Now is the time to prioritize yourself. Now is the time to finally put yourself first. Now is the time to give yourself permission. Now is YOUR time.
