The Change 2 GLOW® Program is a 8-week online hybrid course that combines pre-recorded materials with live Zoom sessions.
The program combines expert guidance with community support, offering a proven blueprint based on the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, lifestyle medicine, and behavioural sciences to help you understand menopause and create a personalised toolkit for navigating the transition.
COMING SOON - Join the Priority Access ListThe path from suffering to GLOW requires:
-
Increased Awareness of the implications of the menopause on the body, mind and personal circumstances and learning how to rebalance the body during this stage of life
-
Acceptance of the menopause as a new stage of life and the changes that it brings to our body, mind and life
-
Allowing and embracing the thoughts and emotions that come up with this process, seeing them as guides to our needs and values
-
Taking actions aligned with our values and what matters most to us.
This will be delivered by using our proprietary method, EMBERS® Menopause-Informed psychological framework. EMBERS® is a metaphor for how women can feel while going through the menopause, but also is an acronym for the 6 areas that can get out of balance in menopause and need to be addressed.
The six areas of EMBERS® include:
E – Essentials
'Essentials' step aims to assist women in restoring balance within their bodies. This step incorporates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools, lifestyle adjustments, and various practices such as breathwork, movement, diet, play and rest. Together, these elements work synergistically to re-establish the body's balance, promote restorative sleep, and effectively manage menopausal symptoms.
M – Mind and Mindset
'Mind and Mindset' step helps women learn strategies to manage unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, mood swings, irritability, and anger during menopause.
B – Becoming
'Becoming' step facilitates the process of re-evaluating personal life priorities and goals during menopause, with the aim of fostering a new sense of purpose and meaning in this life stage.
E – Emotional Fitness
'Emotional Fitness' step aims to increase emotional resilience and to support women to develop strategies to cope with common menopausal feelings like anxiety, irritability, anger, and sadness.
R – Relationships & Resilience
'Relationships' stage focuses on supporting women to cultivate connection and intimacy while developing psychological resilience with the aim to increasing an overall sense of wellbeing.
S – Shape-up
'Shape-up' step focuses on fostering positive behavioural, cognitive and emotional change, supporting women to identify life areas in need of an upgrade, while teaching strategies for boosting motivation and commitment, to sustain changes effectively.
I can only describe the EMBERS® Programme as life changing as I came to her at such a low point due to the impact that perimenopause had on my mental health. The positive impact of our sessions has been incredible offering tools and strategies that have allowed me to move past, what has been, one of the worst time in my life.
