Embodied Menopause is the wise friend youâve been waiting for to guide you through this powerful transition into a potent stage of life. No âproblemsâ, âfixesâ or âboostsâ, but rather a steady, compassionate and conscious path through this pause, creating time and space for you to understand and more fully inhabit your whole body and your authentic self. It is a rallying call to reframe and find freedom from limiting beliefs and systems that minimise us as we age.
Through insightful somatic practices, nutritional support, reflective invitations and a sage challenge to social constructs, Leo Taylor and Charlotte Watts guide you through whatâs really happening, physically, emotionally, spiritually and contextually as we meet midlife.
Offering insight and practical steps, they show how mood, gut, sleep and social stress weave together; how to respect your natural resources; and how to meet yourself honestly without chasing impossible standards of perfection.
Embodied Menopause is a vital resource youâll return to again and again to remind you that youâre not malfunctioning or diminished, but on a path to becoming more fully yourself.
Reframing how you move through midlifeÂ
Â
Not because everything you've heard about menopause is wrong.
But because there's another perspective:
One that recognises menopause as a whole-body/mind metamorphosis â affecting far more than hormones.
One that values rest as much as resilience,
undoing as important as doing,
curiosity and play as information,
and self-awareness and compassion alongside science.
Charlotte Watts and Leo Taylor are passionate about helping people experience menopause with greater understanding, compassion and confidence. Together, they combine decades of experience in yoga, somatics, nutrition, massage and wellbeing, bringing complementary perspectives that reflect one of the core messages of Embodied Menopause: there is no single "right" way to move through this transition.
