There’s no one size fits all Pause

At For The Pause, you can join existing mini retreats, book a 1:1 with Jess, or create something else that works for you.

Maybe a Peri & Pause Mini Retreat with real science, rest & connection is what you need. Or maybe it’s a full weekend away to take time out, rest and reconnect.

It’s all up to you.

Your pause. Your rules. 

For The Pause Offerings

For The Pause offers events with all, or a mix of all 4 offerings, or you can mix and match to create something that suits you.

1:1 sessions are also offered to provide you an opportunity to find the exact information, tools and support you need.

EMPOWERMENT

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to YOUR body.

For The Pause offers the Sex Ed we should have received in high school. We distil the latest research from trusted experts like Dr Louise Newson, Dr Lisa Mosconi, Dr Mary Claire Haver, Dr Stacy Sims, Professor Jayashri Kulkarni, and other leaders in women’s health AND synthesise insights from longitudinal studies on women’s health (WHI, SWAN & ALSWH).

These sessions empower you with clear, non-biased insight into what’s happening in your body and brain, without having to wade through mountains of medical journals.

Better still, you’ll receive tools & tips for how to navigate our medical system with this important and empowering knowledge.

This is science & evidence based information made accessible, practical and sometimes funny, so you can walk away informed, reassured, and ready to take charge of your next era.

POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY

Evidence based tools for thriving.

For The Pause is built on the foundations of Self Determination Theory (SDT). SDT suggests that in order to thrive in life, humans need Competence, Agency & Relatedness. For The Pause aims to provide all 3 of these things to allow people to thrive in this era of life.

Our workshops also share proven tools and methods from Positive Psychology (aka: Wellbeing Science) so you can apply the ones that work for you to your life.

Some focus areas for this offering include:

  • Values-based Strengths

  • Self-Compassion

  • Locus of Control

  • Hope Theory

  • Broaden & Build Theory

We know that it’s absolutely possible to thrive in this era, you just need to know how.

YOGA

The Pause in For The Pause…

For The Pause offers evidence based Yoga practices that can assist in managing all stages of menopause, as well as general classes that create a space to help you deeply rest, manage stress and connect with yourself.

You’ll be guided through gentle Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation practices that will leave you feeling rested, centered and maybe a little zen.

For The Pause Yoga, meditation and breathwork offerings are trauma-informed, Mental Health Aware and always optional.

There’s no Instagram poses here, just a safe place to rest, restore & connect with yourself.

COMMUNITY

Community is medicine.

For many people, connection is key to this incredible era of our lives.

While connection looks different for everyone, For The Pause creates space for you to share your strory, listen to the stories of others and perhaps for the first time, be TRULY heard and supported by others who understand what you’re experiencing.

For The Pause community provides a space to support eachother, and to be eachothers cheerleaders as we move in to this next powerful era.

THIS is the cool girl gang you’ve always wanted.

People come to the workshops for the Empowerment & Yoga, they stay for the Community.
