Struggling to get a good night's sleep during perimenopause or postmenopause?

You're not alone, and it's time we talked about it!

Do you struggle to fall asleep, wake up at 3am with a racing mind, experience hot flushes or night sweats, or wake up feeling exhausted even after a full night in bed?

Sleep disruption is one of the most common challenges during menopause, but understanding why it happens and what you can do about it can make a real difference.

Join us for a friendly, supportive and interactive 90-minute Menopause Sleep Masterclass, exploring the importance of sleep, how hormonal changes can affect it and practical ways to help you enjoy more restful nights.

What will we cover?

Why sleep matters – discover how sleep supports your brain, immune system, energy, mood and overall wellbeing.

Menopause and sleep changes – understand how changing oestrogen and progesterone levels, hot flushes, night sweats and stress can disrupt sleep.

The three pillars of good sleep – quantity, quality and regularity, and why all three matter.

Start your day for better sleep – simple ways to support your natural body clock and melatonin production through daylight, movement and everyday habits.

Calming your nervous system – understand why stress and overthinking can make falling and staying asleep difficult.

Breathwork and gentle somatic movement – discover practical techniques to release tension, slow your breathing and encourage relaxation.

Gentle lymphatic-inspired self-massage – explore soothing touch and relaxation techniques to incorporate into your evening routine.

Creating better bedtime habits – simple, realistic changes to your evening routine, sleep environment and lifestyle.

What to expect

This isn't just a talk!

We'll combine easy-to-understand information with gentle movement, breathing exercises and practical techniques that you can try during the workshop and use at home.

We'll explore ways to quieten a busy mind, release tension and create the right conditions for more restorative sleep.

And to finish...

We'll end our workshop with a calming, guided full-body relaxation, giving you the opportunity to completely unwind, switch off and enjoy some well-deserved rest.

You'll also receive a helpful PDF takeaway guide, packed with practical sleep tips, calming techniques and simple habits to try at home.
