Menopause Nurture Sessions
in-home care for women’s natural life cycles
““I always looked at Jenny’s postpartum nurture sessions and wished that I had received that level of care when I became a mother. I asked if the sessions were suitable for me even though my kids are all grown up and Jenny came to my home for a nurture session. As a woman in her 40s going through menopause, caring for elderly parents and teenage children, this was just what I needed - someone to care for me, in my home for a few hours. Jenny brought delicious food meaning I didn’t have to cook for a few days. I received the most wonderful massage, followed by a “closing of the bones” ceremony. She held space for me to process the changes that I am experiencing in this stage of my life. I felt seen, cared for, clear and rested.”
nurture sessions for women experiencing life changes
As a postpartum doula, the thing I hear most from women is “I wish I had known about you when I became a mother”. We think that we have missed the opportunity to receive this level or care, nurture and honouring of a transition as a rite of passage. But what we forget is that menopause is another opportunity in a woman’s life to deepen into our innate wisdom, that traditionally would have been viewed as a rite of passage into the next cycle of a woman’s life. Women are often holding it together for families, children, parents and their community, all while silently going through huge shifts physically and emotionally. By offering these nurture sessions to women at the perimenopause and menopause phase of life, I am offering a space for women to feel seen, nurtured and witnessed in the transitions they are going through. I bring nutritious food, body work, and ceremony into your home. I do not come as a menopause expert, nor do I advise you on what you should/shouldn’t do during these transitions. I simply offer a space to be held, witnessed and to reflect on what the changes mean for you.
I offer these as one off session, or as packages that can be used over a number of weeks/months, or get in touch for more tailored options.
In-home nurture sessions include:
nutritious food bundles to support hormonal health and replenishment, made with organic ingredients (2 days worth of food included in each session)
herbal blends used for teas
“closing of the bones” using a rebozo
gentle oil massage
magnesium and herbal foot baths, followed by foot massage
cacao - we work with this both as nutritional support, and when holding ceremony
guidance on vaginal steaming (if this is something you would like to explore, completely optional)
moxibustion (a Traditional Chinese Medicine practice of burning Moxa, or Chinese Mugwort, in a purpose build moxa box, promoting increased warmth, circulation and qi to the womb area - again optional)
yoga nidra and sound bath
Prices for in -home nurture sessions are £300 for a one off 3 hour session, with packages for more sessions available (see prices below). These can include anything from the list above, and always with two days worth of home made, delicious organic food. I can make the most impact with multiple sessions, however it is also possible to hire me for a one off session. I provide in-home care, so there is a maximum of 30 minutes driving time from EH49 included in my prices. Additional expenses to cover time and fuel will be added on top of this depending on where you live, including parking charges. If there is something you think I can help with but it is not reflected in the menu below, please get in touch. I have created different packages below, but can do more long term care if required and if your budget allows for it.

Item description
-
“Closing of the bones” was taught to me by my teacher Rachel, who learned it from traditional Mexican midwives. It is a practice that is deeply rooted in rites of passage, honouring the transition from one chapter to the next. On a physical level, it is very comforting and grounding, and the cloth (rebozo) is used to tightly bind the body from head to toe. Energetically, we set the intention of drawing your energy back to yourself rather than to everyone else, and honouring this stage of life.
The ceremony lasts for 2.5 hours, and the cost is £160 if at my home in Linlithgow, additional costs will be added if travelling to you.
