My guest is Gabriella Espinosa, menopause and sexual wellness coach, yoga/somatic movement teacher and the founder of Women’s Body Wisdom, an online coaching platform that empowers women to own their pleasure, power and purpose in midlife.

Her work lies at the intersection of embodiment, eastern traditional wisdom, female sexuality and menopausal health and is informed by 15 years of guiding women to know, trust and appreciate their bodies through 1-1, group coaching programs and international retreats.

She also contributes her writing on yoga and women’s health to leading US and UK publications and has been featured in Oprah Daily and Oprah Quarterly.

Learning from her own experience of perimenopause with a lack of knowledge about her body, changing hormones and what to expect, Gabriella developed a holistic, educational and coaching program incorporating yoga, breathwork, somatics and sex education to support other women to demystify and navigate the transition into peri-menopause/menopause.

Gabriella believes menopause is an invitation to get to know ourselves better and empower ourselves with knowledge to upgrade our physical, mental and emotional selves to the best version possible. Gabriella’s guidance aims to take women on a journey of self-exploration, trust and knowing. We do get to the other side wiser, stronger, sexier and more empowered!

Join us in deep conversation as we find out from Gabriella

⭕️ What lit a fire in her belly and how she realised we as women have to unmute the silence and shame around being female

⭕️ The trepidation of stepping out and being conditioned to playing small

⭕️ The guilt we can feel about inherited narratives and the role models we have had and imprints we can free ourselves from

⭕️ Shedding identities that we thought we needed to assume

⭕️ Sensuality and Sexuality for Women, Pleasure and The Sacred and Divine

And so much more!!!!
