Ana talks openly abo...

Today Dr Nicole Pawley and I discuss the Three Golden Opportunities.

Sensual movement is a non linear form of dance that is particularly good for our pelvic floor and core. It is different than other forms of movement like Yoga and Pilates, as it works beyond the horizontal and vertical planes of the body. It builds great bodymind connections between our brain and all the different parts of our body, particularly our pelvis. Dianne has a whole host of free content...

Today we talk about what is happening to the musculoskeletal system as we move through midlife. I talk to Sarah Smith who is an osteopath with a special focus on womens health; in particular pelvic health. The thing I like about osteopaths is that they take a very systemic view of the body. Sometimes I think menopause gets a bit of a bum deal with many issues of midlife blamed on menopause. In thi...

Today I speak with Nicole Pawley who is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. I am curious about the TCM view of menopause, how they treat it.

I think you will a get a good foundational understanding of the TCM...
