It’s hard to make muscle, especially as you age and going through the stages of menopause. Women in menopause and beyond can develop sarcopenia (muscle wasting) earlier than men because many women have less muscles than men to begin with. And the truth is, we are not small men. So let’s talk about muscle in this blog.

Could you imagine life not being able to lift 10 pounds??? It's startling and yet also clear that this could happen for some of us. So, to ask yourself the question "what does strength mean to me?" is VERY relevant as you age. Have you thought about this? What does strength mean to you?

What Do You Want as You Age Well? You make the choices for you!

Entrainment is the science where separate systems come into a coherent rhythm with each other… in sync. You see this in nature with the beautiful magic of a dolphin pod, or the flow of a flock of birds. Sound Healing is a way to help yourself fall into entrainment to find calm, peace and ease in your busy mind

I recall my own journey to expressing gratitude. I started my own gratitude lists years ago, and at first, I found it difficult to think of things I was grateful for.
