There are four seasons in a woman’s life, each marked by sacred rites of passage: 🌸 Maiden (0-25 years) – Birth & Menarche
🌞 Mother/Creatrix (25 to menopause) – The birthing years
🍂 Mage/Queen (Menopause (average 50) to 70) – Harvesting wisdom
❄️ Crone (70 to death) – Deep knowing Each rite of passage offers an opportunity for transformation—healing the Red Thread, breaking generational cycles, and creating a future of power instead of wounded patterns. 🔥 Join me in my upcoming workshops to dive deep into this wisdom and reclaim your power. Upcoming Workshops:
📍 Sydney
📍 Mexico
📍 Canada
📍 Melbourne
📍 Mullumbimby (later this year) See Link in bio to register for these event events. #WomensWisdom #RitesOfPassage #SacredFeminine #MenopauseMagic #WomensWorkshops

Create the conditions for your newborn, infant, c

Create the conditions for your newborn, infant, child to be able to thrive.
Learn about attachment theory and be proactive in creating the conditions for secure attachment.
Breastfeed as long as possible.
If you need to bottle feed then do it focused and in arms.
Don’t breastfeed or bottle feed and use your phone, focus, be present.
This is an investment for the future relationship you have with this child.
You want the baby/infant/young child to feel safe and secure in their relationship with you in preparation for the effect of your hormones changing at peri menopause. If you are already in it and feeling the challenge and disinterest in giving your all - or something - and feeling guilty about that, choose something that you are happy to do with your children every day, regularly that involves sitting down together fully focused on something – it could be an activity, reading a book, eating meals together, time in nature, singing, dancing, moving… Something that creates oxytocin together to fill their cups and yours.
Be consistent.
If you could do it two times a day that would be amazing. That’s kind of a hormone hack that helps everybody feel good and want to keep doing that, it’s the bonding hormone and it works every time over and over and the more often the better especially when your children are young. Plus co sleeping and baby wearing which will increase your bone density!! Plus all the obvious –
Look after yourself on every level.
Get support
Heal any Birth trauma You want to create and foster an environment in the home where the children feel safe and heard and held, you can do that . For those of you who are in this or who have been through this please share what has helped you in the comments below! #menopausemoms #menopausalmums #perimenopause #mothering #motherhood

Our rites of passage shape us, whether we realise

Our rites of passage shape us, whether we realise it or not. These workshops will help you remember,
reclaim, and heal your past rites of passage,
connect with your menstrual cycle,
and transform your experience of womanhood. By doing this, we not only heal ourselves
but shift the future from a wounded,
disempowered feminine to women fully in their power—
the women the Earth needs now. Sydney workshops are coming up soon! Join me in circle as we explore and reclaim the wisdom of the cycles and our rites of passage. 📍 Sydney – One-day workshops | March 21–24, 2024 ✨ Moonsong – Thursday, March 21
✨ Shamanic Dimensions of Pregnancy – Friday, March 22
✨ Autumn Woman, Harvest Queen – Saturday, March 23
✨ Winter Woman - Bone Wisdom (with @woven.in & @thirteenmoons.jules) – Sunday, March 24 Let’s come together in connection, healing, and empowerment. Check the dates and mark your calendar! Tickets are available in my bio. These one-day workshops (excluding Winter Woman - Bone Wisdom) will also be taking place in Mexico in May, and Canada in June & July!

Don’t be fooled by fear-based claims about HRT and dementia! Take your health and wellbeing into your own hands. If you are concerned about Dementia consider the following: Lifestyle Matters: Research shows that a healthy lifestyle can significantly lower dementia risk. Aim for:• 150+ minutes of exercise per week• A Mediterranean-style diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats• 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night• Regular mental stimulation and staying socially connected Know Your Risk: Women with conditions like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or heart disease are at higher risk. Women with pre-existing conditions can lower dementia risk by managing health, staying active, eating well, supporting mental well-being, and avoiding smoking and excess alcohol. Remember: HRT is not a proven way to prevent dementia. Make your decisions based on solid facts—not fear. Please share this with anyone you think needs to hear it. Let’s create a women’s health culture based in empowerment and autonomy. #womenshealth #HRT #menopause#

At each shift in a woman’s life phase, adolescence, matrescence and sagescence (peri/menopause) the biological transformation process reshapes our bodies, brains and behaviour to suit the physical, social and behavioural requirements of that life phase. #menopause#perimenopause #perimenopausehealth #menopauseawareness #

I, Jane Hardwicke Collings acknowledge that my work is situated on the lands of the Gundungurra People of the Yuin Nation. I acknowledge that the land was never ceded and we recognise that the Yuin people have cared for this country over thousands and thousands of years. I express my deep respect and gratitude for all Elders past, present, and emerging.

I acknowledge that I also travel to many lands and I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the lands. We strive to strengthen our collaboration with Indigenous peoples in order to further our understanding and connections to country.
