I don’t know about you, but once I hit menopause, I couldn’t sleep deeply anymore. In fact, sometimes I would just lie there for hours and hours, lucky to get 2 hours of sleep. I’d be so tired during the day. I’d look up menopause on fb pages, and most people were taking a lot of drugs. That did not seem like the best option for me. Although, I did try melatonin and a few other over the counter remedies. Most worked a little, but not really that great.
As a Craniosacral Therapist, I had of course worked with many people people who were going through difficult menopause symptoms: anxiety, lack of sleep, mood changes, hot flashes, night sweats and the rest. I knew I was helping my clients. They would share how much the work helped. But I did not expect that “I” would not get another decent night’s sleep again. I never thought this would happen to me. I had always been the one happily anticipated no more periods. But it did.
So I decided to go the Self-Care Route. And you know what? It really helped. Maybe after so many years of helping others, I realized that it was time for me and other women who are going through the “Change” to focus inward, and really get things integrated. So I decided to take my own advice and find a local Craniosacral Therapist whom I could trust, whom had great techniques and who knew how to dialogue with my body. I did find the perfect match.
It’s made me realize, that with all of my experience as a Craniosacral Therapist, trained through the Upledger Institute, I truly relate to all that a woman goes through during menopause. And I can hold a very sacret and sweet spot for women who are facing the many challenges that this change of life brings. I have moved through this, and I resonate with the way through now.
If you are looking for some help, I will say, getting back to a peaceful restful place is something that can take time and commitment. One has to have trust and be willing to move down deep into what is interruping the process of getting into a sleep state and staying there. If your physician has checked you out and everything else is showing up fine, we can delve into whatever your body, and mind are revealing during the sessions, allowing your Inner Wisdom to take you into balance. Craniosacral Therapy is deeply relaxing and when stresss leaves, integration and peace ensue.
I have had many clients say that they are sleeping better, and in a general sense feeling much better refreshed in the mornings.If you would like to find out more, please call me for a 15 free phone consulations.
