Self-Care in Midlife: Supporting the Whole Woman
Join My Inner Harbour and Laurie Larkin-Boyle in exploring a range of resources and opportunities for perimenopausal and menopausal women in Nanaimo to support their whole selves through this season of life.
This retreat day is all about supporting you to actively care for your well-being through this critical transition. Presenters will share reflections and resources for navigating various aspects of physical, mental, relational and spiritual health and suggest best practices for self-care from their field of expertise.
Our speakers so far include: Dr. Jiselle Griffith, Naturopathic Doctor, Yumiko Kakutani, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Laurie Larkin-Boyle, Expressive Arts Therapist, Marilyn Zink, Nutrition Menopause Coach, Liat Smith, Sexual Health Educator, and Debra Thorne, Spiritual Director. More information on our speakers coming soon.
