Body
During a 1:1 we will talk about how you are feeling in your body, the changes that are happening & how best to make you feel more comfortable & like your very BEST SELF. If interested, we will incorporate the internal art & teachings of Ayurveda & Yoga to care for the body. This could be a blend of Classical, Yin, & Restorative Yoga depending on what your body(temple) needs.
Spirit
Within you is the light of 1,000 suns, although it might feel more like the heat of 1,000 suns during this time. You spirit might feel worn out, even lost. Spending time with Your Menopause Doula is about improving the quality of your life. Reminding you that YOU ARE BOUNTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BLISSFUL & BLESSED. Connecting to Spirit through yoga, meditation, prayer, nature & sound. Finding what path works for you.
Resources
During a 1:1 Consultation, you'll complete a confidential personal herstory intake form that will help prompt discussion on your individual needs. Based on your interest & needs resources will be provided to help
you begin to feel better & support Your
Big M Journey.
Mind
Cognitive function, executive functioning, emotions & mood are impacted during the stages of The Big M. During a 1:1 we will explore what is going on & discuss options that will help calm & clear the mind & improve memory & focus. Theuressa teaches mindfulness, a variety of meditation types, YogaNidra & suggests different types of breathwork (pranayama) to stimulate or calm the mind.
Accountability
Maybe you've done the research, consulted with your PCP, read all the books, know what needs to be done, but just can't get motivated or still feel stuck. Your Menopause Doula is also Your Accountability Partner. You'll have your very own cheerleader, drill sergeant, boot camp leader, coach/trainer in your corner. She will help you set intentions & create a plan of action & offer support through 1:1's, resources, phone calls, texts & emails - whatever it takes (within reason naturally).
What is a Consultation like?
-
​Start by contacting us - the hardest part of working with Your Menopause Doula.
-
You'll receive a Personal Herstory Intake Form via email to complete in preparation for your 1st meeting. It'll take some time to complete, so Theuressa will suggest you set some time aside to go over it, make a cup of tea, and fill it out as best as you can, bringing it to your first meeting.
-
When you meet with Theuressa, you'll be greeted with a warm smile & she will most likely offer you a hug, which is naturally, completely optional, but might be much needed.
-
You'll get to select a lovely blend of tea to enjoy during your consultation.
-
Discuss what you've been experiencing or what you'd like to know more about.
-
Then decide if you'd like to continue meeting a few more times to come up with a plan of action & get the support you need to live your very best 2nd Spring.
-
You'll also have the option to purchase a Menopause Gift Box, The Big M Workbook, a variety of teas for different symptoms, & spa services at ESPA designed specifically for relieving Menopause Symptoms.
-
Lastly, you'll be offered another heart to heart hug before you head out.
What Our Clients Say
E
Theuressa is so precious! She was there for me when I was really struggling, I could barely get out of bed. Her heart to heart hugs are priceless. Tea gave me the resources I needed to better advocate for myself with my doctor, to communicate my needs with my family, and to, well, as she says "put the oxygen mask on myself first". Just like they tell us to do on an airplane. I am looking forward to my 2nd Spring - thanks Tea!
