Are you approaching or going through menopause and starting to feel a little differently about your body?
Perhaps you feel like your muscles are weaker, you don’t have as much energy or your bones aren’t as strong as they used to be?
Maybe you’ve even had a diagnosis of osteoporosis and you are in shock: afraid about what this means and confused about what to do to support your body?
After taking care of yourself for all these years, it’s frustrating and disappointing to be told you have something wrong with you, and that you need to take medication.
You want a strong, healthy body, you want to carry on with all the activities you love, and you want to do all of this the pleasant, natural way!
I completely understand. That was my experience 4 years ago and that’s why I developed this course for women like you.
