For women who 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 want to sleepwalk through perimenopause & value a mind/body/spirit approach

11/06/2026

There’s a radical practice nobody talks about that may ease the intensity of life during your 40s and 50s. You could say it’s even political. And yet there’s huge resistance to it — for really understandable reasons.

Swipe through the carousel to see what I’m inviting you to consider. If it resonates, I’ve written a free guide that makes the evidence-based case for this practice. It includes anatomy you were probably never taught, and points you toward some genuinely good resources.

Always feel free to DM me, you can comment ‘pleasure’ and I’ll personally send you the link, or find the link in my bio.

Do not underestimate the impact of getting natural daylight on your eyes and skin.

Have you ever craved being out in the sun and heat? It may be your body directing you to an incredible and ancient thing that is potent for your wellbeing.

Getting as much daylight as you can, in all its wavelengths between sunrise and sunset, is powerfully beneficial. It’s so simple. Anyone can get it. It’s free, and it’s especially helpful, and gentle, if you have a chronic condition, such as long Covid, ME, fibromyalgia.

The potential benefits on offer:

Improved fat metabolism, better sleep, healthier cortisol levels, regulated blood pressure, increased hydration in your cells, reduced inflammation, more serotonin and dopamine which boosts your mood, reduced hunger signalling, reseting your circadian clock, improved mitochondrial function, and the list goes on...

The speed of light is fast so even a few moments outside has an immediate effect.

Forget fancy infrared gadgets - natural daylight is totally packed with it. Save your money and go outside and bask in it (safely - it’s not so cool to burn).

Here’s to a sunny bank holiday weekend,

All the time women are being sucked into spending their hard earned money on often expensive and s*xy products they don’t need.

While the really beneficial interventions are far more simple, very often free or low cost, and aren’t that s*xy. Which is why they get ignored.

They can’t be branded and marketed beautifully and sold with a massive mark up.

Remember my friends, the menopause industry is a billion dollar industry, and growing, so we will be probably be seeing a lot more nonsense and unicorn products coming on to the market.

You won’t be the one benefiting from these.

Nor will your exquisitely calibrated system that’s evolved over millennia.

It’ll be the gazIlionaires and profiteers.

What does make a difference:

Eating more veg and less crap
Moving regularly
Laughing with your buddies
Soaking up the sun
Doing the personal growth
Sleeping
Having or***ms
Doing all this 👆🏻knowing you’re not lining squillionaires’ pockets

Pinch punch it’s the 1st of May - time for a card pull.

Would you like me to pull you a card? If so, just reply below with comment, or something nice, or an emoji and I’ll send it to you privately. You can also ask me privately for one by sending me a message.

You could call it a big day with it being Beltane, a full moon and the first of May all happening today.

Those are plenty of reasons for me to pull a card for you, but you don’t need any reason at all.

I’m sharing mine - one for the month ahead (feminine) and one for today (destiny life).

On Monday 11th May, the incredible initiative launched by the incredible returns for a second year. I am so happy to be running a workshop on Monday 11th on Anxiety and Rage in midlife - why it happens, how to ease the intensity, and practical steps to support yourself with them.

The fact is that many, many women experience often overwhelming anxiety and rage, but it’s not discussed or understood because of the very real shame associated with these emotions.

And yet, they are entirely natural responses.

It really helps to know WHY these feelings are so common, and so intense in midlife. It enables you to...

💥feel validated
💥normalise it
💥reduce your self blame
💥give you permission to feel the emotions
💥redirect the intensity more constructively
💥see the complexity of it rather than reduce it to ‘just’ hormones
💥reframe the cultural context of anxiety and rage, and see them as meaningful and valid responses to our complex lives.

In this workshop I will also share the simple ways to reduce the intensity of these protective emotions. The tools that work straight away so that you can breathe, have more perspective, create space in the moment so you’re better able to respond instead of react, and so you’re not consumed by the emotions.

And the longer term strategies that support the context of your situation so over time, so you’re be able to channel any rage and anxiety much more easily and reduce the intensity and frequency of them showing up.

So come along to this FREE event where I’m sharing these amazing tools and strategies.

Prompt start at 7pm-8.30pm
Monday 11th May
Free!

I hope to see you there 💖

𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‘𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧’.

It used to make me squirm and give me the heeby jeebies, in the same way that ‘sensual’ women who wear flowing red or purple clothes and speak breathlessly also do.

But I suddenly get it. The ‘wild’ woman isn’t some scary, volatile, unpredictable she-beast to be wary of.

She is you and me.
Just without the conditioning, the shame, the repression, the apology and without the fear.

She is you and me, but the version you and me who is able to communicate clearly, love deeply, take pleasure and move freely.
She is the you and me who can hold her boundaries, love her body, rely on her intuition and live in connection with her whole being.

All our lives, and for many generations, the ‘light’ side of femininity has been the only side that has been encouraged - even allowed. But we do have this whole other side to us which is fearless, confident, unapologetic, commanding and powerful - the side we’ve been told isn’t feminine enough, or is even too masculine.

This is the side that is linked to our more primal, animal nature, which enables us to be fierce, protective, playful, boundaried and sensual.

Many unbalanced aspects of our life and world that shaped us in our formative years, including societal expectations, our upbringing, religion, the patriarchy, have cut us off from this more primal side of our being and inherent nature. As it did for our mothers, grandmothers and ancestors.

It does it to men, too. They’ve been disconnected from their inherent sensitivity, from their softness and emotional depth - from their natural femininity.

I believe there are multiple invitations to connect with this wild woman through our lives. Once a month, during pregnancies, labour, as mothers and carers. And, I think perimenopause is another very potent time, when our hormones help us to remember who she is.

She’s in each and every one of us. And she peeps through - can you give her more space?

Thanks to for the inspiration for this post.

𝐌𝐲 𝐠𝐨-𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞.

Here is a shortlist of the best tools I’ve picked up along the way, things I’ve had recommended and which I’ve recommended in turn. I hope you find them useful.

is a platform dedicated to the study - and sharing of - female pleasure. It’s packed with videos and animations about how to do…well, all sorts of things. You pay once and have access to the library for life.

is a clean lubricant that won’t disrupt your delicate vaginal pH or microbiome. Using one really is essential, not optional, even on your own.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐫𝐞, by Dr Emily Nagoski, is a great and validating guide to female s*x drive.

In 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐩, Dr Karen Gurney fills in the gaps, and unpicks the myths, so you can future proof your s*x life.

𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭: 𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬, collected by Gillian Anderson. This is a collection of s*xual fantasies from women around the world, compelling and great for firing up arousal.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐞𝐱, a brilliant and accessible introduction to ta***ic s*x.

𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐕𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨n, an excellent book for learning how to communicate effectively.

For 𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫 look at Understatement Underwear, Fleur Du Mal, Undress Code, Cosabella, Bravissimo. Feeling good in your underwear, just for your own pleasure, matters.

𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 for Self Confidence by is surprisingly effective for helping you feel s*xy and feel good about yourself.

is a somatic psychotherapist, trans-channel, has inspired and mentored so much for me personally. If you’re into consciousness and advanced manifestation, look no further.

Please share what you have found helpful. I’m sure you have some resources that are worth knowing about - we all resonate with different things after all, so it could really help someone.

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮...

Your woman is going through profound shifts during perimenopause, which often deeply affects her enjoyment of s*x.

She may be anxious, tearful, chaotic, full of rage, on top of all the physical symptoms and challenges that midlife throws her way.

You are not obsolete, you haven’t lost her; she needs you.

Be the stable presence for her while her mental, emotional, physical and spiritual world gets turned upside down.

Perimenopause is an isolating experience and she may not have the words to explain it to you. If you can be curious, ask questions, properly listen to her and share your own inner world, you’ll be building intimacy.

These small (but meaningful) ways of building connection feed intimacy and, broadly speaking, is the foreplay she needs.

If you can be open to a new way of having s*x, you can have 𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 s*x. Better than ever in fact.

𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐱 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 6 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩...

1. If vaginal pain is an issue, please go see your doctor. Painful s*x needs support. Be open to oestrogen pessaries, which make a huge difference for many women. Also, definitely use a lubricant. I love

2. The likelihood is that for s*x to improve, you will need to initiate the changes you need. For that, you need energy, so, to build that capacity, you need to nurture yourself. That means rest, good food, laughing, improving sleep etc. My personal favourite is getting TCM acupuncture.

3. Nurture your desire, just for your own pleasure: read erotica, wear gorgeous lingerie that makes you feel hot, have a daily or**sm practice, and go indulge in fantasy - let your imagination run (nobody else will
know...)

4. Have an honest chat with your partner. Clearly, kindly, framing it as a need to evolve as couple now that your body is changing. Make it collaborative - this is not about apportioning blame. In turn, listen.

5. Brush up on techniques, explore anything that intrigues or excites you. is a great platform for this. Consider looking in to Ta***ic s*x, which amplifies connection, arousal and pleasure.

6. If you feel weighed down and need help working through anything, especially shame, fear, trauma, blocks, get professional support. There are wonderful practitioners who can help. I can personally recommend

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭, 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐱 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

Many women realise that there’s something off with s*x, but aren’t always able to pinpoint what’s wrong.

Aside from the many reasons specific to perimenopause that make s*x complicated and difficult, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 is that the kind of s*x many women have isn’t aligned with how 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴.

The kind of lo******ng many are used to is informed by p**n and is 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥-oriented, and creates pressure that can make true enjoyment quite challenging.

The kind of pleasure that really works for us, is 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞-oriented. That means the 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 of the s*x you’re having is 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. We need presence, slowness, intention, depth, erotic and emotional charge.

So if it’s a kiss, make it stomach flipping, or if it’s touch, make it luxuriously sensual.

When you reach perimenopause and this isn’t happening, you stop being able to override what your body knows so clearly (𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴). You can’t keep going along with the way you’ve always done it by people pleasing, or out of habit, or duty.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞.
Your body needs, or maybe even demands authenticity; it becomes non-negotiable.

This isn’t about shifting the centring of s*xual pleasure from one partner to the other; experience-led s*x benefits both of you. For s*x to continue to be enjoyable for both of you, it must evolve.

So know that if you’re struggling, this isn’t the end of your s*xual potential. Look on it as an invitation to discover what truly expansive s*x can actually be.

If this is resonating with you, know that it can get better...so much better.
