Menopause Workshop

We are all born with a blueprint of own unique combination of the five elements. However, the quantity and quality fluctuate in the body according to the natural rhythms of the seasons, time of day and our age, but also because of the various stresses that life places upon us, which throw our balance out and predispose us to malaise.

The five elements Air, Fire, Water, earth and Space are classified into 3 biological energies called doshas, called Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Once we discover and understand what we are made of, we can learn to live our lives in ways that ensure the elements that we are made of are in harmony with each other.

In this workshop, we will determine our unique make-up and from there make decisions about how we can better serve our bodies and minds to live a healthier and more balanced life into the next stage of our life. 

You will learn:

• The relationships between your elements and your hormone health

• How to synchronise your rhythms with natural cycles

• Gut healing and its role in hormone health

Loraine Ereira (Facilitator)  

Lorraine was working as a clinical Sports Therapist when when her husbands cancer diagnosis drew her to study nutritional health. Her quest to help her husband inspired her to write “Love and Wheatgrass” in order to help others going through a similar ordeal, which has been a huge support to many.  Her desire to live a healthy lifestyle compelled her to study further, where she discovered that to really enjoy a healthy life, we must first look within to find out what we are made of and how we fit into the natural world around us.  Lorraine is currently writing her fifth book, “Gaia’s Gift ” – a book that embodies the ancient medical practice of Ayurveda but with a very unique approach which teaches the reader how to train their intuition to know instinctively what is good for them physically, spiritually and mentally.  Lorraine now works as an Ayurvedic Nutrition and Lifestyle consultant with people who struggle with various health issues, or those who want to change their life to become the best they can be. She holds a bachelors degree in Sports Therapy, and wrote one of her first books in this subject “Sports Pattern Release”Lorraine and her husband now live in southern Spain, where she continues on her quest to live a life of love, health and happiness.
