Hi I’m Natalie.
I have been the proprietor of The Powder Room Birstall for over 24 years and I am now exploring a new direction.
I am 46 years old and currently on my own perimenopause journey.
I have struggled over the years with mood swings and anxiety along with unexplainable rage and other symptoms.
I was hospitalised last year with a stress related illness and had surgery. This has completely changed my outlook on what I want from my life and how I manage stress.
I trained to be a menopause mentor to help women navigate their way through the fog and become the medicine I needed.
I have found a few things that have helped me along the way and that have brought me joy including:
🤍Wild swimming
🤍Connecting with other likeminded women
🤍Reiki healing
🤍Having a regular massage
🤍Eliminating alcohol and coffee from my diet
🤍Saying no to commitments I didn’t want to make
🤍Unfollowing people and online accounts that brought my mood down
🤍Meditation- which I struggled with in the beginning but found guided ones to be better for me
🤍 Foraging nature’s bounties and cooking up a feast on a fire
🌳 Oh yeah and I love trees, generally being around them and hugging them too.
It’s hard to figure out your purpose when you don’t even get time to sit back and assess your life.
There’s so much going on, you inevitably end up at the bottom of the priority list again.
- The Kids don’t need you as much or in the way they did when they were young.
- Parents are more dependent on you now for help and support which puts extra pressure on.
- All the hormones racing or lack of them making it feel like a rollercoaster.
- You might be grieving the loss of a loved one or your younger self
- The physical symptoms are the tip of the iceberg and they are a lot to deal with.
- You might be feeling resentful of how much you have to do day to day- why does it all fall to you ?
- The mental load is weighing you down, There’s so much life admin to remember and plan, you never get a moments peace.
My goal is to ask these questions out loud so you can see that you don’t have to settle for less or carry on like this.
I share my knowledge to help women Rewire their thought patterns and Rise into their Goddess era.
When we finally get time to sit with how we feel, a lot of thoughts and feelings rise to the surface that we may have buried. Its definitely a journey that can be emotional and enlightening.
Letting go of conditioning that has become part of our decision making process like :
- Should I wear that?
- What if I am being a bit loud or a bit too much ?
- Should I just blend in and shrink into the background ?
- Nobody notices me anyway why should I bother ?
- Is that outfit a bit young for me?
- How can I look younger?
I personally think ageing is a privilege and we are lucky to have these years ahead of us. We should use them wisely to enjoy as much as we can.
I can help you find the glimmers amidst the stress so you can start enjoying your life again, without feeling taken for granted or burnt out or past your best.
Lets embrace this midlife chapter together and grab life by the horns.
Who’s with me ?
