Seasons of Change: How Pilates Supports Women Through Pre-Menopause, Hormonal Changes, and Life Balance

Navigating Wellness, Womanhood & Work

Let’s talk about it, because no one really prepares you for this chapter.

Lately, my body’s been shifting.
My energy’s up and down.
My emotions? All over the place.
Welcome to pre-menopause.

At 38, going into 39, I’m learning to truly listen to my body, to ease up when I need to, to rest without guilt, and to move in ways that feel loving instead of punishing.

And Pilates has been my anchor.
It’s not just a workout; it’s my way to reconnect with myself, breathe, and tap into my strength.

Running a business, mentoring others, holding space for a community, and navigating my own shifts haven’t been easy.
But I know I’m not alone.

If you’ve been feeling off, if your body’s changing, your patience is wearing thin, or your self-care feels distant, I see you.
This season of change is real.
But it’s also powerful.

Because every change is a transformation.
You’re not losing yourself, you’re shedding what no longer belongs.
And that, my love, is part of becoming who you’re truly meant to be.

Here’s to honoring every phase of womanhood, and moving through it with strength, softness, and that signature goddess sparkle ✨
