Perimenopause & Sexuality

With Melissa Walker, LPC, CST, R-DMT

Beginning around 42-45 years old, perimenopause impacts everything from digestion, to sleep, to temperature modulation, to cognitive function, and yes, sexuality!

Unfortunately, this life transition has been cast as a disease or a problem to cover up and muscle through. The research is minimal and many primary care physicians and therapists are misinformed.

With so many confusing symptoms and a lack of informed support, perimenopausal people end up feeling helpless and frustrated. As a result, so many of us miss the opportunity to invite the gifts of this transition to inform our personal and relationship growth and transformation of sexual expression. 

Now, recent research and a renewed focus on perimenopause as a normal and deeply meaningful time has given us useful information to approach it feeling empowered!

Whether you are on your way to perimenopause, are in the hot middle of it, or have already walked this path, this group is meant to be informative and insightful as you look forward with hope or look back with a deeper sense of understanding and meaning.  

Together, we will discuss the latest science on this major life/body/heart gateway into the 2nd half of life and how it applies to embodiment and sexual intimacy.

We will gather resources, practice skills, uncover personal gems, and use this time as the opportunity to rewire old patterns and improve intimacy with your own body and the body of an intimate partner.
