As women we face specific challenges and experience hormonal shifts as we move through key stages of life. A common story that I hear when speaking to clients how their body is broken, and how they are angry with their body and feel let down by it. In today’s episode, we are going to learn from Gabriella how to tune in to the innate wisdom of your body and focus on your hormonal balance.

Gabriella Espinosa is the founder of Women’s Body Wisdom, yoga teacher, nutritional therapist and instructor of The Non-Linear Movement Method®. 

You can take control of your hormonal health by befriending your body and hormones
