A season of change. A shift in rhythm. A return to self.
This evening is an invitation to pause, soften, and connect – with yourself, with others, and with the wisdom of Chinese medicine.

Whether you’re moving through menopause, approaching it, or curious about what lies ahead, join us for a nourishing one-hour session exploring how Chinese medicine supports this powerful life transition.

🌸 What to expect at Gather & Ground: Menopause in Focus

Herbal tea on arrival with Sarah Sanelli
Settle in with a warm, supportive tea blend to nourish your body and soothe your nervous system.

Chakra meditation + gentle movement
Sarah will guide you through grounding practices to connect breath, body, and energy.

Menopause & Chinese Medicine with Suzi Craig and Christina Tolstrup
Hear from two of our Fertile Ground Chinese medicine practitioners and acupuncturists about how Chinese medicine approaches menopause – from hot flushes and sleep challenges to emotional shifts, hormonal balance and beyond.
You’ll receive gentle acupuncture (or ear seeds if you prefer), with space for shared conversation and Q&A. Bring your questions and stories – all are welcome.

Co-regulation + community
Held in the warmth of our Fitzroy studio, this is a safe, supportive space to be seen, heard, and supported.

🧘🏽 What to bring

• A yoga mat

• Comfortable, cosy layers

• Your favourite mug (optional)

• A curious mind and an open heart

We’ll provide everything else – tea, ear seeds or acupuncture (your choice), and loving guidance to help you land more deeply in your body and this life stage.
