Perimenopause | Menopause in the City

Living in a city is an incredible experience—full of energy, opportunity, and connection. But during perimenopause, urban life can present unique challenges: lack of personal space, constant noise, increased stress, extreme work-life balance pressures, and even shifts in the skin’s microbiome due to environmental factors.

This class is designed for women navigating perimenopause and menopause while living in a city. We’ll explore how to support your body, mind, and spirit in the midst of urban life so you can thrive in this transition.

Once you enroll, you'll gain access to three 45-minute video sessions covering:

• Body – Diet, movement, lifestyle adjustments, and nervous system regulation
• Mind – Managing stress, creating personal space, and energetic protection
• Spirit – Finding peace and calm in the midst of chaos

Each session concludes with a short meditation to help you integrate these practices into your daily life. You’ll have access to the recordings for one year, allowing you to revisit them as often as needed.

Dear ladies,

I spent most of my adulthood in New York City before moving to Philadelphia, then San Francisco. Now, I live in the woods—but I understand city life deeply.

I originally created this program for a dear friend struggling through perimenopause in the city. The urban environment can amplify the challenges of this phase, but it also offers unexpected gifts. If you can find your peace where you are (and you can), you can find it anywhere.

Let’s navigate this together.

With warmth,
Françoise
