Embracing womanhood.
- Our Tranquil Tuesdays series began on Tuesday, 7th April, with Jaspreet Dhoot, a female health coach who delivered a women-only health session to 10 Eye Matter members.
Jaspreet is a health and wellbeing professional with a strong focus on supporting
women’s health. She is Female Health Qualified, with specialist knowledge in areas such as hormonal health, menopause, and lifestyle strategies that support women’s physical and emotional wellbeing.
There was a wide range of different-aged women, who were able to ask questions about the pre menopause and menopause. Within this safe, unjudgmental space, they were able to ask about what symptoms to look out for, how to cope with these changes and much more. The group also discussed the impact of celebrities who have spoken openly about their own experiences. The effect of sleep deprivation and how melatonin levels can be altered.
In a double whammy, members remembered how Laura Brodie, in our mindfulness sessions, had discussed how sight loss also affects sleep patterns. Some practical improvements were suggested, such as ensuring a quiet room, no screens at night and sprinkling lavender oil onto pillows.
Jaspreet discussed the importance of avoiding stressful situations or having coping techniques to use when confrontations arise. This can either come from meditation or deep breathing
Tranquil Tuesdays continues on Tuesday 28th April with Blind Yoga.
