Log in for 1.5 hours dedicated to nourishing self-care education and therapeutic arts experiences specially tailored for tired and transforming women, in togetherness.
Each month will explore a different theme, such as PERMISSION, NEEDS and RECLAIM, guided with care and understanding by Chrissy (also in peri!), using simple art and craft supplies, backed by bite-sized morsels of therapeutic, peri-inspired research.
We wrap up each session with reflections on what worked well for us, and how to bring it into our everyday lives 🌸
Nourish your Inner Phoenix with Artful Transformation in Perimenopause
Your Facilitator
Hi, I’m Chrissy. I’m a late-diagnosed, highly sensitive, perimenopausal, cat-loving Autistic-ADHD artist, arts therapist and educator, with a Master’s in Therapeutic Arts Practice, Specialising in Arts-based Research.
As a sensitive, empathetic, kind-hearted giver, l know how challenging it can be to carve out time for our own needs and soulful regeneration, as we navigate the responsibilities, riches and tumults of our perimenopausal experience.
That’s why I created Peri-Women-Pause ... a regenerative online journey where we can gather to rejuvenate, nourish our changing needs, and feed our creativity spirits within a kind and caring community who also genuinely GET IT!
I hope you’ll join our rising, revitalising, reclaiming revolution 🐦🔥🌀💓
Why Participate in Peri-Women-Pause?
✨ Enhanced self-understanding ✨Skills building ✨Creative Expression ✨Supportive Network
✅ Themes for Each Session: Each month, a different focus (like PERMISSION, NEEDS, and MYSTERY) is explored. This structured approach allows us to dive deeper into specific aspects of our experience, giving us time to reflect on and positively impact our life changes personal growth.
✅ Therapeutic Arts Experiences: Incorporating creative experiences makes our sessions not only educational but also therapeutic. Engaging in artistic expression helps us reduce stress, deepen our self-awareness, make new connections and foster a sense of embodied shifts we can take into our daily lives.
✅ Frequency and Duration: Our LIVE sessions occur on the first and third Wednesday of each month, lasting for 1.5 hours. This regularity provides you with a consistent opportunity for engagement, rejuvenation and self-advocacy,
✅ Focus on Self-Care: Our primary goal is to create a safe, nurturing space for us to prioritise self-care during a transformative period in our lives. Self-care is crucial during perimenopause, as many of us experience a staggering range of physical and emotional changes that significantly impact our capacity.
✅ Education & Agency: Experiencing bite-sized morsels of therapeutic, peri-inspired research, provides us with practical knowledge to help us understand what we’re going through, and why. Our education complements the experiential learning aspect of the sessions and enables us more permission for our needs.
✅ Community & Sharing: Each session, there is an optional check-in time to share our experiences and takeaways. This community aspect nourishes our emotional support and connection, allowing us to feel less isolated in their journeys.

FAQs
-
To get the most of your membership and rejuvenation, attending each session is recommended. However, nourishing yourself with self-care is the most important value underpinning the PWP membership. If you are unable to attend a PWP live session, please let me know and I can send you through the slides from the evening to go over in your own time. Due to the private nature of each person’s perimenopausal experince, live sessions will not be recorded.
-
Absolutely not. You know your body best and if you are over 35, not feeling yourself and experiencing several common perimenopausal symptoms, then you’re welcome to our group! Many medical professionals are still catching up on the latest research on perimenopause, meaning many people are undiagnosed.
-
The first session each month is Create & Chai - held on first Wednesday evening of every month. This is a relaxed, easeful get together of self-selected creativity. So you bring along whatever you want to, such as knitting, drawing, LEGO, painting, and use that time to honour your needs and enjoyment etc.
The second monthly session is Peri-Women-Pause - held on third Wednesday night of each month. This is a guided, educational and creative experience with a new theme each month, enabling you to learn more about your needs and capacity in artful and gentle ways.
-

Absolutely not! Just as you don’t need to be an olympian to swim, you don’t need to be an artist to engage in creativity! I have been a teacher and artist for almost 30 years, and I have a myriad of ways to share creativity in a way that is open, fun, gentle and accessible. The arts are a wonderful human experience, available to everyone.
-
Absolutely! This is a safe and welcoming space for anyone experiencing perimenopause, including people who identify as having ovaries, lived experience as a woman, AFAB (Assigned Female at Birth) and trans / rainbow folk 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈. I am committed to fostering an inclusive environment, where our community feels secure and benefits from shared experiences and perspectives. If you are not gender or trans affirming, please choose a different group. Inclusivity and safety is important here 🌈🌻✨
✨ Important Information 🌻
Please note: Peri-Women-Pause is not group therapy.
Peri-Women-Pause (PWP) offers a relaxed and nourishing environment designed to help you carve out time for meaningful self-care. Participants can explore naturally therapeutic arts and crafts alongside experiential education, while attuning to your innate needs, especially during times of a fluctuating capacity.
For clarity, PWP does not:
offer individualised medical, or professional mental/emotional health support
substitute for professional therapy
As a participant, it is essential to prioritise your self-awareness and self-care. Please take time out whenever you need during the live workshops, and engage in ways that feel genuinely nourishing for your system in each moment.
If you experience any acute physical, mental or emotional challenges during your PWP membership, please seek help from a trusted professional for one-on-one support. I am unable to provide individual support during live group experiences or via email.
Thank you for taking care of your needs and helping to ensure our group is a safe space for all participants to experience 💖
