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 this episode you will get a strong sense of the interconnectedness of all the systems of the body and also the body’s innate capacity to heal itself. You can find Sarah at www.movebeyond.com.au

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 learned that TCM has a bespoke way of treating menopausal symptoms in us because each body is unique. We not only talk about Peri-menopausal symptoms but womens health in general. I think you will a get a good foundational understanding of the TCM approach from listening to this podcast.

A little introduction to my podcasts and what they are all about. I am a sexuality, love and relationship coach and I work with women to help them transition through midlife. I find midlife to be a time where many of us unravel. Relationships become challenging, some of us experience health issues, many of us really start to question what our life is all about and seek to move deeply toward work that is more purposeful. On top of that Women move through the rite of passage that is Menopause. This is something that few women openly talk about, historically it has been hard to find information, although this seems to be changing. I want to open up discussions around this and empower women to move through this stage of life with greater ease.
