PerimenoZen: A Women's Health Series for Peri/Menopause Wellbeing

Join us for PerimenoZen, a 3-part in-person workshop series designed to help you feel calmer, stronger, and more at home in your body during the perimenopause to menopause transition.

Each 2-hour session includes:

✔️ Insight into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches to hormone health

✔️ Self-care tips you can use at home

✔️ Time for Q&A and personal reflection

✔️ A 30-minute relaxing community-style acupuncture session with guided meditation

✔️ A printed wellness booklet to take home

• Sleep better and quiet a restless mind
• Support your mood, energy and nervous system
• Nurture your metabolism and digestion without toxic diet culture

Chinese Medicine views hormone health and perimenopause in a different way. Whether you’re looking to work 1:1 with a practitioner or simply want solid support without the fluff, this is a space to feel seen, educated, and empowered.

Join us just for 1 class or book your spot for all 3 sessions.
