Overview:

Perimenopause isn’t just about hormones—it’s about how those shifts ripple through the entire body. This talk explores the often-overlooked connection between hormonal changes and sexual health, including vaginal dryness, pelvic pain, decreased desire, and difficulty with arousal or orgasm.

We’ll highlight how changes in fascia, blood flow, nervous system regulation, pelvic floor function, vulvar and vaginal tissue, and unprocessed stress can amplify symptoms, leading to pain, disconnection, and frustration in intimacy. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these factors affect both body and mind, and how to address them in a holistic, empowering way.

Audience Takeaways

-Understand how hormonal shifts during perimenopause impact pelvic health, libido, and sexual function and what to do about it.

-Learn how changes in fascia, lymph, pelvic floor, vagina, and the nervous system contribute to discomfort, pain, and decreased desire.

-Gain practical tools, such as breathwork, movement, and nervous system regulation strategies—to restore connection, pleasure, and confidence.

Overview:

Perimenopause is not just about hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Fascia, the nervous system, lymphatic flow, and blood sugar regulation all play powerful roles in how we feel during this transition. Add in the pressure of societal expectations on women, and symptoms can hit harder. This talk offers a fresh perspective, and practical, non-hormonal tools, to support the body and mind through perimenopause with more strength and clarity with or without taking HRT. Restoring the body’s wisdom allows us to reconnect with who we are on every level: mind, body, and soul.

Audience Takeaways

-Understand how fascia, the nervous system, lymphatic flow, and blood sugar regulation directly impact perimenopausal symptoms.

-Recognize how cultural and societal expectations on women influence stress, pain, and overall well-being in midlife.

-Learn practical, non-hormonal strategies and lifestyle shifts, that can be applied immediately to support health and ease the transition.

Overview:

Perimenopause changes how the body responds to stress, exercise, and recovery. What used to “work” in workouts or daily routines can now backfire—intense training, pushing through fatigue, or ignoring signals often worsens symptoms like pain, fatigue, and brain fog. In this session, Dr. Mary explores how fascia, the nervous system, lymph, and blood sugar regulation interact with hormonal changes, and why learning to check in with the body is essential. Attendees will discover how tools like heart rate variability (HRV), intuitive movement, and nervous system regulation can guide smarter choices for strength, resilience, and energy in this phase of life.

Audience Takeaways

-Learn why traditional “push harder” exercise approaches can worsen perimenopausal symptoms.

-Understand how fascia, lymph, blood sugar, and the nervous system interact with hormonal shifts to impact recovery, energy, and pain.

-Discover practical tools, including HRV tracking, intuitive body check-ins, exercise dosing, and restorative movement, to better support health and strength during perimenopause.
