Nervous System Strategies for Menopausal Relief

Feel like yourself again: calm, clear, and in control- no matter what stage of menopause you're in.

If menopause has left you feeling hijacked by your own body- flooded with heat, robbed of sleep, unsettled by anxious thoughts or emotional swings- you’re not alone. This evidence-based workshop is designed to help you reclaim power over your experience with tools rooted in science, not guesswork.

Through interactive learning, guided breathwork, and a supported cold bath immersion (at 59F), you’ll learn how to calm the internal chaos and restore a sense of grounded control. These methods activate the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in hot flashes, mood regulation, and your stress response.

You’ll leave feeling:

• Empowered with a deep understanding of what’s happening in your body and how to change the experience
• Equipped with 10 go-to tools for managing hot flashes and anxiety
• More in control of your body for greater focus and calm
• Supported by a science-backed path to relief

What’s included:

• A brief, digestible education on the science of hot flashes, the vagus nerve, and stress regulation
• Guided breathing techniques shown to lower cortisol and support nervous system regulation
• A 3-minute cool plunge (at 59 F) with step-by-step breath support to safely calm the body
• A symptom tracker to help you understand patterns, reduce reactivity, and apply your tools in daily life
• Group discussion and integration, connecting science to your personal experience
• A take-home resource sheet with the breathing strategies and space to track progress

What to Bring:

• Yoga mat
• Water bottle
• Bathing suit or change of clothes for the plunge (shorts or leggings and a sports bra or tshirt are fine too, whatever you're comfortable in!)
• Towel
• Journal and pen
