I love using the teachings of Ayurveda in my work with women over 40, because mid-life seems to be a time where so many women are really interested in putting some attention back on their own self-care after years of putting their families first.

The symptoms of perimenopause are also varied and different for every single woman. This is why each woman needs to inform herself about what menopause is, what the symptoms could be, and how she can take more control over her experience of the menopause.

In my work with women–particularly those of us over 40–divorce is not uncommon. Many women I know over 40 are on their second or even third husband. I pass zero judgment, because the reality is, relationships are hard work–and they don’t always work out.

I do what I do quite simply, because I believe women deserve more. They deserve more education about their bodies, so they can advocate for themselves, and make informed choices about the care that they receive for all of life’s transitions like menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and yes–menopause.

What is the pelvic floor? I hope you have a general idea, but I am going to spell it out even more clearly than your high school health teacher. This is where my 15 year career in Childbirth Education comes into very excellent use. I nerd out on things like the pelvic floor. I can’t help it.

I bet you have heard of Boudoir Photography. Just in case you are one of the 55 people left on earth that have not heard about Boudoir Photography–I am going to tell you what it is, and share my experience with Boudoir as a woman over 40.
