Perimenopause can feel disorienting and overwhelming. Your body feels different. Your nervous system feels louder. Rest can feel harder to access.
The Pause is a 5-week group created to help you slow down, regulate, and reconnect during this transition. This is not a medical or hormone-focused program. It is a supportive, experiential space centered on nervous system care, emotional steadiness, and rest.
The group draws from Eastern mindfulness traditions, alongside modern psychotherapies such as parts work and somatic practices, and integrates Rest & Restore, a music-based, polyvagal-informed listening experience. Together, these approaches support your system in settling without forcing change or “fixing” yourself.
A steadier, calmer nervous system
Tools to meet emotional shifts with more compassion and less overwhelm
Support for rest and sleep without pressure or performance
A deeper sense of safety and trust in your body
Language and practices that honor complexity rather than pathologize it
Weekly guided mindfulness and Rest & Restore listening sessions
Somatic and parts-informed practices that support self-connection
A group container grounded in choice, consent, and nervous system safety
No pressure to share, process, or arrive in a particular state
This group is for you if you’re tired of pushing through and ready to pause, listen, and soften the pace. If you’re seeking grounded support that blends ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic approaches, The Pause offers a place to land.
a gentle, music-based, polyvagal-informed practice designed to support nervous system regulation and emotional steadiness.
Rest & Restore can support:
Settling chronic stress, overwhelm, and nervous system fatigue
Creating a felt sense of calm without effort or analysis
Supporting rest, sleep, and recovery
Increasing emotional resilience during periods of transition
Reconnecting with the body in a non-demanding, non-performative way
What makes this practice different:
Uses structured music and sound to support regulation
Does not require talking, processing, or “doing it right”
Can be experienced lying down or seated, with eyes open or closed
Complements mindfulness by giving the nervous system something to orient toward
Rest & Restore meets you where you are. There is no goal to achieve, no state to force, and no expectation to feel calm. The practice invites your system to find its own pace toward rest and restoration.
