Reclaim your sense of self and live with greater pleasure and purpose!
Dear Menopausal Sister,
Are you frustrated by your experience of menopause, including peri and post? Do you look in the mirror and wonder, “whose body is this”? Do you notice that you are much more irritable, maybe moody or feel disengaged with your family and friends? Are hot flashes interrupting your sleep? Do you long to feel like your old self? And then wonder why nobody in our society seems to talk about it?
In many other cultures, where old age is revered, menopause comes with much fewer symptoms and less emotional and mental strain on women. But in our culture, where we have a very different relationship with old age and spend millions of dollars trying desperately to avoid it, we tend to hide our struggle or at least not talk about it, making the pain much worse by the silence that surrounds it.
Menopause has a way of sneaking in right when you aren’t looking and the next thing you know, your clothes fit a little bit tighter, you aren’t sleeping as well as you used to, and you have a hard time focussing at work or on what you are reading, you may even find yourself wondering who you are or what your purpose is anymore.
If this sounds like you, then you might be interested in what Indigo has to offer:

Does this sound like you?
1
Do you wish there was a simple way to sort through all of the conflicting health information and finally find the answers that work for you?
2
Are you tired of wasting time and money on more programs, books and supplements?
3
Do you believe there’s a better way to manage a medical condition than just taking another pill or living with a dead-end diagnosis … but aren’t sure which path to take?
4
Are you ready to finally take control of your health and create a healthy lifestyle that energizes you?
Get the support you need to cut through the noise and live a healthy, holistic lifestyle that’s right for you.
The problem with most health and wellness programs today is that they’re narrowly focused on one area of wellness (whatever that expert’s specialty happens to be).
For example, let’s say you need to change your diet – maybe you recognize that you’re eating too much junk food. A nutrition expert can give you good advice on what to eat. But why are you eating the way you’re eating? You aren’t likely to find the answer with a typical nutrition-focused program, so you may struggle to sustain any change.
My holistic approach teaches that one imbalance in your life can create an imbalance in another area. So you’ve got to address the whole you. Because that relentless junk food craving may be a way of coping with stress. And that stress may be caused by your career. In that case, your career and your sugar addiction are interconnected.
Restoring the balance among these connections is the key to unlocking a healthier life!
If you’re tired of one-sided advice, or quick fixes that don’t stick, and you want to finally create a healthy, balanced life based on proven, natural approaches, then I’m so glad you found me!
Finally, you’ll can access clear, holistic guidance and support through Indigo Holistic Wellness Coaching so you can reach your goals with ease.
You deserve to live your very best life.
Get the support you need through Indigo to reclaim your self and live with greater pleasure and purpose!
Indigo is your solution to a healthy lifestyle. . . for life
What does my Indigo Personal Coaching program cover?
5 core steps to create a healthy lifestyle without struggle or overwhelm.
Step 1
Body
How to start healing yourself holistically
Are you wondering how you got to where you are today? Are you feeling confused about which way to go, or where to start? When most women enter menopause it comes with years of habit-forming thoughts and behaviors, repeated unconscious patterns in our lives, sudden weight gain, moodswings, and can serve as a wake-up call to how we are living our lives. I like to think of it as a gift from the universe to do just that, to start over and better, rather than allow it to be our natural “end” as society has determined it to be.
In this step you will:
- Understand what happens to your body during menopause and why moving it is so important
- Uncover your biggest challenge to getting regular exercise or discover what you most enjoy doing for movement, and
- Learn your body type
Tools you’ll receive:
A body type quiz, a practical guide to menopause and hormones, tips for finding movement in the day to day
Step 2
Mindset
How to change your mindset
Our thoughts carry an amazing amount of power and have the ability to grow or destroy our lives. For anyone who has spent time in meditation, or perhaps thinks they cannot stop their thoughts long enough to meditate knows, it’s a choice ~ we can be friends or enemies with our minds. We are also capable of changing our minds, not simply what our preferences are, or what we want for dinner, but literally rewire our brains by forming new pathways and by interrupting our reactions with new, less destructive ones. Thoughts create emotions and emotions create action and all thought, emotion, and action carry energy. Our limiting beliefs vibrate at low energies like fear and shame, but by changing those beliefs to new ones, positive emotion, and conscious action, we can ultimately raise our energy, and raise our lives.
In this step you will:
- Understand the connection between gut health and brain health and cravings
- Learn about mindful eating
- Consider your limiting beliefs and re-write the ones that no longer serve you
- Learn about the energy body and the 7 major chakras
Tools you’ll receive:
Tips for better digestion, including food choice and lifestyle, a guide to re-writing limiting beliefs, and an overview of the chakras with a quick and powerful tool for balancing them
Step 3
Food
Are you what you eat?
Are you totally overwhelmed by the many fad diets available today, by everyone on the internet telling you what to eat or that you can lose weight if you only eat like they do? Together, we’ll take the time to slow down and really look at not only what you eat, but how and why and when. Armed with the knowledge of your body type, this second step will be devoted to talking about food. You can rest assured that with this knowledge and time, you can once and for all learn how to listen to and trust your body to tell you what it needs. We will dive deep into your body as a laboratory.
In this step you will:
- Identify your biggest food pain
- Learn what to eat for menopausal symptoms
- Determine the first step towards creating change and eating intuitively
- Consider your water intake and the importance of being hydrated
Tools you’ll receive:
Tips for your specific body type including a recommended food list and weight loss protocols, a guide to the power of a whole foods diet and natural weight loss, and a water protocol including how much to drink and when
Step 4
Rest
Feel rejuvenated instead of depleted
Are you someone who wakes up feeling just as tired as you did when you went to bed? Whether or not we feel rested in the morning is influenced by so many factors starting the moment we wake up. When you engage in restful activity, you’re doing something that feeds your soul and soothes your mind and body. Rest is not merely sleep, but the ways in which we receive and restore. Are you able to receive as much as you give?
In this step you will:
- Gain simple techniques to design your own sleep routine setting you up to feel rested the next day, such as alternate nostril breathing
- Understand how stress affects weight and weight gain
- Prioritize your self-care and the ways in which you feel rejuvenated
- Consider what can be eliminated or delegated from your to-do-list
- Learn how to create healthy boundaries and why self-care isn’t selfish, but self-less
Tools you’ll receive:
Self-Care Tools, tips for sleep hygiene, including yoga nidra guided meditation, and a template for organizing and prioritizing time
Step 5
Purpose
Who do you want to be? (That’s me in the middle teaching yoga in Belize)
Discovering and then being who you are is very much a matter of the heart. Especially in our Western, modern day society we have the tendency to, overly so, live in our heads. We think our power center resides in the mind and wrongly live out our days thinking we have everything under control, accordingly. We are so much more than our minds and our thoughts, but once you realize the power of your thoughts and that they will run the show until you make a different choice, there is no turning back. According to Carolyn Myss, in “The Anatomy of the Spirit” the question, “what about me?” is an invocation drawing to ourselves years of repressed, but well-recorded emotional data that, in an instant, can determine a new path for ourselves. We may attempt to run back into the protection of the tribal mind, but its capacity to comfort us is now gone. We begin the formidable task of getting to know ourselves by discovering our true nature – not in relation to anyone or anything else, but in relation to ourselves alone.”
In this step you will:
- Discover your true passion and strengthen your personal power
- Write your personal vision statement
- Determine your next step to creating your life of purpose
- Say “no” to society’s limitations and learn to howl at the moon instead!
Tools you’ll receive:
Healing mantras, shadow work, questions for self-discovery and vision statement template
