Your creativity is evolving.
Your spirit is demanding more.

This is a space for everything no one talks about, but every woman feels.

Women on the Verge of… is an ongoing series of intimate, in-person gatherings for women over 40 who are in the thick of personal, creative, emotional, and spiritual transformation. Held in a cozy cottage studio, this circle offers grounding, honest connection, and access to local healing resources as you navigate this powerful in-between.

This is your hub.
Your circle.
Your permission to transform without shame.

You don’t need to be polished.
You don’t need to have it figured out.
You just need to feel the pull.

Who This Is For…

This gathering is for women 40+ who feel:

  • On the verge of a reinvention

  • Burned out from over-giving and over-doing

  • Disconnected from their creativity or intuition

Why This Space Matters

Midlife is rarely talked about honestly—especially for women. What’s often framed as “losing” is actually a becoming:

The becoming of:

  • Boundaries

  • Discernment

  • Embodied intuition

  • Creative sovereignty

  • Self-trust that doesn’t need permission

This group exists to name that shift, and to honor it in community.

Lovely Words.

  • I went to the doctor to talk about PMDD

    They tried putting me on medication that had a list of side effects. I left feeling so discouraged, crappy, and unheard. Then I saw you and I immediately felt empowered and saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

    High stress was impacting my body bad. Your practical guidance seemed so simple yet helped tremendously. Food and supplement changes have been transformative. Besides food, the way you helped me approach stress and to work on what I enjoy everyday with things that bring me joy that aren’t work related. Things I know but I forget easily. That helped shift things a lot. You’ve helped so much with scheduling, mindfulness, on top of telling me which foods to help with my issues!

    — Dee

  • I almost immediately had results.

    I didn’t believe there was a solution to support my awful periods. I had horrible cramping, tender breasts, extra fatigue, migraines, a ton of bloat and really heavy periods. My doctor said my hormones were normal so I didn’t think there could be anything to help me. I did not expect how working with you would change all that.

    I almost immediately had results. Within my first cycle I didn’t have a migraine or tender breasts. It’s been 3 -4 cycles since we started and I just had a period that was this past weekend (while on vacation!) and no tender breasts and minimal minimal cramping.

    I no longer have the mental dread of here we go, my period is coming and I'm going to have to take a day off work. I’m much less stressed and anxious around my periods and they don’t consume me as much as they used to. I’m more hopefully going into perimenopause that I’ll be able to aid myself.

    And my relationship to food has improved!

    —Jen D.

  • I’m feeling energized and eternally grateful

    As a vegan, it's challenging to even know where to begin to get the proper nutrients to help support my body. Lyssandra has helped me become more familiar with all the foods and resources that are available to me! My physical and emotional well-being has improved immensely since we started working together! I’m feeling energized and eternally grateful for the work that she puts into them.

    — Sam

  • I noticed immediate changes in my luteal phase

    I didn't have pain before my period and was less bloated throughout. Getting support from our plant allies during our different phases I feel made the biggest difference. And it was engaging for me. I printed out the materials and loved the videos - it worked for me! :)

    —M.Pacheco 

  • Tuning into my body in a judgement-free zone

    I truly can’t say enough good things about Lyssandra’s Femme Balance! Although I didn’t consider my period symptoms to be severe, they were still unpredictable, and I wanted to learn more about each phase and change the “little” things that were still not fun to deal with each month. Not only did I gain knowledge and practical tools to address my symptoms, but I also found a supportive community of femmes with similar experiences. The group check-ins were great for accountability, and those connections truly encouraged me. What I loved most was how it taught me to tune into my body in a judgment-free zone, and I felt and saw the difference in how eating for my cycle could do. I was less bloated, had no pain before my period, and could see those changes in what I shed during my cycles! It was eye-opening and empowering to learn and feel supported along the way!

    —Mabel 

  • I’m not powering through like I used to!

    Ever since learning about the energies of my luteal phase I’ve become aware of not being too hard on myself. The way you talk about the menstrual cycle makes it so easy for me to understand and has helped me to know my body better even though I’m on birth control and don’t get my periods often. I can now pin point my pms symptoms better and I’m not powering through them like I used to! — Mayela

FAQ’s

  • Yes! Hormonal birth control alters your natural hormone levels, which means you’re not experiencing the typical four phases of your menstrual cycle. However, cycle syncing can be highly beneficial, especially if you decide to transition off birth control in the future. It can ease this transition and support your body in reestablishing its natural rhythm. Addressing the underlying causes of hormonal imbalances sooner rather than later is crucial, as delaying this can lead to more severe symptoms and make them harder to manage effectively.

  • Absolutely. Once you understand how your body is changing or reacting in different phases of your cycle, you will learn to eat the right foods for the right phase to help keep your symptoms in check, while eating healthily overall to improve your hormonal body.

  • Yes, make sure to inform me and consult with your healthcare provider so you can manage these interactions safely and effectively.

  • Consider setting aside 1-3 hours a week to watch the lessons, meal prep and cook. However, this is a no-stress course, and meant to be self-paced. Remember, like any health program, the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it.
