Over dit evenement
Spoiler:
You’re not the same person you were ten years ago.
And you’re not supposed to be.
This afternoon we’ll stop resisting. It might not be the most exciting topic, but ignoring what’s happening won’t make it any easier. There’s so much more to gain from understanding what’s going on than from simply muddling through. So let’s explore, learn and dive in together.
✨ Perimenopause: What is it and what’s the point of it all?
✨ Connecting with others and sharing what we’re experiencing in this pretty big transition
✨ Discovering practical tools you can implement in your life to experience this phase with more power and ease.
PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING
Perimenopause is the phase between the first hormonal fluctuations and menopause itself (when you haven't had a period for twelve months). From around the age of 35 you can experience changes in your cycle or other perimenopause symptoms. Sometimes you might not even realise that you are dealing with perimenopause. The symptoms go beyond ‘just’ the physical. From messy sleep and restless digestion to a lack of energy and feeling down. And from headaches and joint aches and to skin problems and mood swings. You wouldn’t be the first to wonder: Am I going crazy?
In this workshop you’ll gain insight into how this transition can impact your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Expect practical advice on food, daily habits and lifestyle. Our focus: small steps, big impact.

FEEL SOME RESISTANCE?
Maybe you know there’s something here worth exploring, but just … not now, not yet. You’ll see how things develop, or perhaps you’d rather avoid the subject altogether for as long as you can? Janneke on this: "Yes, that familiar tendency to ignore what's happening. I see it all the time in my practice. Pushing through until you simply can’t anymore. And then people are left dealing with burnout, depression, anxiety, uncertainty, some of life's deepest questions and depleted energy.
As cliché as it may sound, it’s true: knowledge is power, and it’s much easier to prevent major health issues than to recover from them."
