experiencing any of the following?

irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, sleep distruption, vaginal dryness, weight gain, libido shift, hair thinning, join pain, heart palputations, always tired, inability to shed unwanted weight, night sweats, depression, meno-belly…and so many more.

If so, this retreat is for you! Menopause education is often overlooked in schools, and many medical professionals receive little specialized training on it. As women, we owe it to ourselves—and future generations—to have open conversations about not just navigating this transition, but truly thriving through it!

Did you know that perimenopause can start as early as the mid-twenties for some women? Every woman’s experience is unique, with different needs along the way. Even if you’ve had a hysterectomy, you may still experience symptoms. Let’s navigate this journey together and discover how we can thrive during this transformative time!

For many people, yoga is a path to improved health and wellness. For Erica, yoga has become a way of life. After years running corporate HR departments and emphasizing wellness, she realized it was time to reboot.  Now she get’s to focus on evolving her education and sharing what she’s learned with others.

She began practicing yoga to manage migraines, back and neck pain that she suffered with the majority of her life. However, she found yoga spiritually empowering as well as physically therapeutic. She learned the importance of connecting breath with movement to calm the mind and the importance of making time for yourself.  On this journey she found a new path to health and happiness, and felt a strong calling to share it with others.
