Mindful Menopause/Wild Women
LIsten to podcast
I am seeing a lot of women who are walking around hot sweatly, thinning hair, tired and at their wit's end. This is the role of the Menopause.
The situation though is that this could be one of the most creative times of a woman’s life but many women are experiencing severe discomfort with the Menopause. I wonder if the level of discomfort during the change has to do with many women trying to function in this very Patriarchal and aggressive western world. Being Peri menopausal I only have symptoms when I am doubting myself or processing a pattern or belief that is familial, and my symptoms come up in the form of heat disappear within in a minute . Fuzzy thinking does happen to me at times, but only comes when I am feeling stressed (which is infrequent because I have a no-nonsense attitude in my life to bullshit and ‘settling‘ in challenging relationships, jobs and friendships).
So the best option for anybody during this time is to chill out, be present, and stop running on the treadmill because this is a time of rebirth, you are now setting a new path for yourself. This is the time the Body Computer is opening up to becoming Sovereign. (another post on that later)
Your body is becoming rich with wisdom, and authenticity, but patriarchy states that you are an angry woman on the edge (I believe that is the view of Western / White Male’s patriarchal belief system that wants women to be subservient and well behaved, whilst they desire the women who is full of passion and fire). Menopause is a time for women to own and understand they have the answers and access to complimentary methods that does work.
How to navigate the next stage of your life during the Menopause.
I have included a few points to help you on your journey, do not forget to subscribe to my email here so that I can send you the Womb Wisdom free PDF with some more resources on this subject.
Be wild, be raw, be truthful, but honour your spirit , and listen to the Triple Goddess ( Intuition) Live as a fully powerful woman in control and acceptance of all her moods.
As I type this powerful download I feel my ovaries stirring after a dormant time. Never in my life have I feel so activated whilst writing. Our body responds to our internal dialogue and external environment so that we can navigate our life accordingly.
Love yourself even through your bad days, because your emotions it will work with you in the best way possible.
Take that class, change your jobs (yes) and reconsider those toxic relationships.
Read up on menopause one place to start is Dr Christian Northrup’s book The Wisdom of Menopause. There is also a great interview with her and Dr Kelly Brogan MD click here
And Finally….
Work with me, your Spiritual Doula.
I want to invite you to work with me during this powerful time of transition and insight. My Creative Healing Method programme will create a full blueprint for you at this next stage of your life. Consider this a reinvention of your life.
Healing and Herbs.
Healing sessions for women.
I am now working alongside a herbalist for a limited time for my Womb Healing, and Coaching sessions.
I was asked by Herbalist Sophia to sit in my sessions so that she could observe the practice of an established therapist. I jumped at the chance of working with a Herbalist because of my own love of herbs and secondly, the effect herbs have on the body especially the Uterus and general health of women. I also feel the energy of two therapists will enhance the healing within a much quicker timeline.
Healing the womb is a revolutionary act.
Taking time for womb healing automatically makes one feel whole again and able to deal with the stresses of life.
My Womb healing sessions will enable you to have more control over any Gynaecological conditions you are currently experiencing. I cannot create miracles (well according to my clients I can), but I can get you to feel, sleep and think better about your health and your body.
The Creative Healing Method Coaching programme
will help you heal from that breakup or give you the confidence to set up that business or connect to your intuition? This programme will bring more clarity and help you set good boundaries which is always weaker when we are experiencing womb issues.
(basically, it is going from 1 to 20 in a short space of time).
Don't take my word for it here are some examples.
R wanted to travel, feel more connected within her self after nine months of the creative healing method she travelled to an exotic location and is now more in her power.
J, wanted more connection and confidence, more boundaries and within six months she felt much clearer and secure in her emotions. After a year working with me, J was able to set boundaries within several relationships and establish a self-care plan for herself that managed her anxiety levels.
B had a chronic womb issue which has improved within three months.
Lastly, T was feeling very isolated and within 6 months she had a job, her own space and is in the process of expanding her life's work and offer.
If any of this speaks to you then book a discovery call with me.

2018 in Review
All I can say about 2018 is that you Kicked my arse I totally jumped off the cliff to support myself a 100 percent
My spa dates were cancelled, my clothes were recycled and I did not purchase any new shoes in 2019 which meant I consumed very little and my cash went back into my marketing and business.
After my Dad passed over in 2017 and my brother in law six months earlier, I focused on working and making money for others. As soon as 2018 hit I entered a new relationship - with myself.
From the beginning of 2018 I vowed to concentrate on myself (so no love interest with Musicians, Artist, or Poets (apparently according to Liz Green I am the proverbial troubadour so I needed to experience my lament and love by myself and for myself),
It is so interesting in cyber world we talk about ‘Self Love’ but, self Love like any relationship takes work as there is still compromises, and decisions to be made so that one can balance work and life.
In relationships there was a struggle to balance time between my partner and friends, in relationship to self this is still a challenge. I was totally immersed in myself and the joy I felt being in this zone of pure bliss. I now understand how I love because I gave myself that total unconditional love, so now moving forward I need to cater to three groups of humans, myself, my partner and my circle.
During this time I was also aware of the difference between hiding/withdrawing from the world and loving myself, eating, going out dinning and walking for oneself and with oneself, I was running towards my self love not away from the world.
Surrender : mjfontaine
I went to events and concerts, walked, ate in restaurants, all by my self (cue the music) and at times I felt a slight pang but that was my head and conditioning, my heart was fun and having fun.
I never knew this type of bliss existed. - communion with the Creator my creativity flourished also.
My work became deeper and thick with authenticity and transparency. I re discovered places in my business that I neglected and threw money at so I could not deal with those areas. The reduction of funds also made me realise how much I used money as a way to put a band aid on issues that challenged my self worth and confidence, This clarity of my life situation enabled me to look at my business, my boundaries and my worth. How many times do we make a business decision based upon validation? It is surprising how Social media totally dictates how entrepreneurs actually portray themselves online at the cost to their business model.
Since walking my own path and setting a better strategy I got real and practical, learned, applied the steps but checked with my heart to see if the steps were congruent with my values. Where there was confusion I asked the adult part of myself to apply a practical solutions.
Stuff just go more real and I am actually running a proper business MA!
My clients increased, more sales of my products and more engagement,
There are more surprises coming in 2019 which is totally gonna switch up my work.
First I had to check in with my partner - Myself.
Have a great 2019 please see my next post that will have the review questions of 2018
