Editorial Reviews
Review
“Laurel Alexander’s beautiful little book Natural Wellness Strategies for the Menopause Years is a comprehensive guidebook for any woman approaching this important transition. Laurel not only charts and explains the physical, emotional and spiritual processes of this journey across the threshold into the Third Age but provides a wealth of practical information and guidance about each of them. With topics ranging from herbs to rituals, nutrition to stress-management, chakras to sexuality, meditation to reflexology and more besides, this small and easy-to-read volume is a treasure trove of information, ideas and suggestions, all of which can be adapted to suit the unique needs of the reader. It contains, in one small package, everything that today’s ‘pausing’ woman might need to lead her gently through her transformation.”–Marian Van Eyk McCain, author of Transformation through Menopause (Bergin & Garvey 1992) and Elderwoman (Findhorn Press, 2002)
