This is a continuing list of resources I have found that clients have appreciated for their perimenopause stage. Some of these resources will specifically be about menopause and others will be more general for grief, etc. but still beneficial for this stage in life.

Massage Therapists
Massages are great ways to be present in your body and receive soothing touch. If massages are triggering for you in any way, start with a pedicure or manicure.
