In this episode, I chat to Sally, a registered psychologist and somatic therapist, about her work in supporting women's health and navigating menopause. Sally shares her personal journey and how she integrates various therapeutic approaches, including yoga and traditional Chinese medicine, to empower women during this phase of life.
We explore the importance of self-care, mindset shifts, and embracing the natural changes that occur during menopause. Sally also discusses the different patterns and symptoms women may experience and how therapeutic yoga can provide physical and emotional support. In this conversation, Sally discusses the importance of movement and yoga in managing chi and blood flow in the body during menopause. She explains the concept of blood stagnation and the signs of kidney yin deficiency and liver chi stagnation.
Sally emphasises the need for balance between yin and yang practices and the importance of restorative practices for those who are drawn to more intense movement. She also highlights the role of self-care, stress management, and shifting perspectives in navigating the changes associated with menopause.
