Ayurvedic & Somatic Toolkit for the Perimenopause Portal

Five essential practices for women who are ready to slow down, connect with their bodies and create the daily rituals that help them move through this destabilizing time of life with more comfort and ease.

This short course is for women approaching, in or just through the perimenopause portal who feel deep down that there is more to this transition than a list of symptoms and want to connect back in with the innate knowing of their bodies as they move through this season of life.

So that you can go from:

  • Feeling burnt out, exhausted and overwhelmed to feeling more nourished, rested and resilient.

  • Feeling dry and depleted to feeling like your well is filled and skin is radiant.

  • Feeling like your body is going haywire to understanding a bit more of what is happening below the surface.

  • Feeling like you are a collection of symptoms to seeing this as a portal and having tools that with consistent practice help to balance some of the symptoms.

Are you ready to connect more deeply with your body to honor the support your body needs in this transition?

Can you commit to one practice or ritual that makes being in a body feel good again?

What does Ayurvedic & Somatic mean?

I know that it feels like everything is changing and it sometimes seems unbearable.

From your body’s unreliable thermostat to the erratic emotional weather patterns to brain fog and dryness to itchy ears it can feel like your body is experiencing climate change!

And in a sense it is.

Your hormonal, neurological and metabolic systems are rewiring.

You are moving through the portal from someone who has the ability to reproduce to someone with the capabilty to deeply tap into and hold wisdom.

And the portal between these two phases of life is no joke - especially in a society that is just beginning to learn about and understand the significance of this transition.

This toolkit is not going to fix all your problems or pretend your symptoms don’t exist- but it can give you some time honored tools to nourish your body and nervous system, to ease symptoms, to open up a conversation with your body and create some daily rituals that help you connect with yourself again.

This toolkit is also not a magic bullet or quick fix - it is slow medicine - it is sustainable and reaps the most benefits with consistency. Luckily these practices feel so good - they are easy to do over and over.

Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine that originated in India thousands of years ago. Ayurveda is a sanskrit word that translates to “the study of life”.

It is a system of medicine based in the elements and cycles and seasons of nature or life.

In Ayurvedic philosophy menopause is not a diagnosis but a natural stage of life that needs different support.

You do not need to know about Ayurveda to do these practices - but an Ayurveda 101 video is included to give you a little background.

The word somatic means “of the body”. In the context of this course, we are using these practices to be in conversation with the body.

These practices help us to connect with our bodies more deeply, to give input and receive feedback - to be in relation with the body instead of always overriding it.

Many of the practices included have some research backing up their effects which I will get into in the course videos!

FAQs

  • Not at all. The toolkit includes an optional Ayurveda 101 class that gives you just enough foundation to understand where these practices come from. If you're brand new, it's worth a listen. If you already have some background, feel free to skip it and dive straight into the practices.

  • Each practice video is between 20 and 40 minutes. But once you are familiar with the practices they can be even shorter.

    You also don't need to do all five every day — the invitation is to do the practices with Kristen first to get them into your body, and then choose one or two to bring into your daily or weekly life. Even one practice done consistently can create meaningful change.

  • Absolutely. These practices are designed to complement whatever else you're doing — hormones, supplements, other healing modalities. This is not an either/or.

  • Yes. None of the movement in this toolkit requires flexibility, coordination, or prior yoga experience. Everything is offered as an invitation, and you are always encouraged to listen to your body and modify as needed.

  • Yes. If you're in your late 30s or 40s and starting to notice shifts — in your sleep, your mood, your digestion, your energy — these practices are supportive regardless of where you are in the transition. Ayurveda focuses on balance, not diagnosis.

    And while these practices can be especially helpful for perimenopause, they are truly great for any phase of life.

Your body has been waiting for this.
