"The perimenopause training has been very inspiring, very well thought by Julia and Jane with a balanced amount of theory and practice and a huge amount of inspirational extra material available to us forever . I highly recommend this training to Yoga teachers and therapists looking for new integrative and inspirational tools to support women in the stage of perimenopause and women in general through the beauty and the challenges of being themselves in daily life."
Gaia Ceccarelli, Attendee, Perimenopause Training, May-June 2022
"The course exceeded my expectations! It provided theory, different models of the perimenopause and beyond, movement and breath practices, poetry and different readings and articles related to Peri-menopause and Menopause . As participants we shared our ideas through the discussion forum, sharings and practices in the sessions which was also hugely valuable. Jane and Julia led the group with sensitivity and enthusiasm, allowing there to be space for our contributions. Thank you so much."Rebecca Paterson, Attendee Perimenopause Training, Oct-Nov 2021

Feedback from Perimenopause Training Course:
"I have really enjoyed the peri-menopause teacher training. It was well presented and was full to the brim of knowledge and practices that I can use myself in the coming years and I look forward to being able to share with other women in my community. I liked the mix of styles that Jane and Julia both brought. ...Janes's Embodied Yoga Principles background brought a totally fresh element to the learning for me. It has been great - thank you."
Vicki Greer, Attendee, Perimenopause Training Jan/Feb 2022
"I thoroughly enjoyed this training. Jane and Julia ran a tight ship, so all content was covered. There were several opportunities to share with the other students, which bonded the group. The extra resources were exceptional, and all were available after the course, as were the tutors. All the students felt very supported and well informed. Thank you xx"
