Conscious Menopause
Investing in Vitality
For generations, women were taught to read menopause as a dimming. I want to offer you a different reading, one I have lived myself and seen in so many women. The years after menopause can be the most alive of a woman's life.
This guide is a companion for that passage. Some of it is research, offered with respect for your intelligence, and some of it is practice and prayer. It draws on yoga and tantra, on current science, and on more than two decades of teaching women.
With love,
