MORE INFO about the sessions:
-
Session 1: Hormonal balance and the gut-brain-connection.
You will discover why gut health and a thriving microbiome are powerful allies through every stage of peri- and menopause. Explore how the gut-brain connection shapes hormonal balance, mood, and energy, and learn practical, nourishing strategies—plus key nutrients—to support resilience and ongoing wellness. Expect warmth, clarity, and a dash of humor, because this journey is about empowerment and thriving, not just surviving.
Shanti is a Naturopath, Herbalist, Colon Hydrotherapist, and holistic wellness guide with over two decades of experience. She weaves gut health—and the vital role of the microbiome—into the foundation of her work, guiding others to lasting vitality by reconnecting body, mind, and spirit in a way that feels both natural and sustainable. She also offers hormone and microbiome testing… https://thrivetherapies.co.nz/functional-testing/

Session 2: Discovery into the transition of who you are becoming.
Menopause is not just a physical transition — it is a significant process that invites honest reflection and opens the doorways to personal transformation. Together, we will explore how this transition can become a powerful opportunity to pause, re-evaluate, and re-design life in alignment with who you are now — and who you are becoming.
Ana meets women where they are — raw, real, rising. She brings presence and love, welcoming both the cracking open and the fierce clarity that often comes with it. In her space, you're not asked to be less — you're invited to become more of who you truly are.
