The Perimenopausal Portal *
-
Six weeks of live, immersive sessions for women navigating perimenopause — weaving together Western medicine, Chinese medicine, embodied practice, and guided meditation to meet this transition at every layer. Each week covers one aspect of what’s happening and why — the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic — with space to go inward, to feel it in the body, and to process it alongside other women who are living it too.
Created and facilitated by Renée Gould, Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and founder of Araya Healing — and someone who has navigated this transition herself.

Each week we go deeper into one layer of this transition — starting with the physical and moving through the emotional, the mental, the energetic, and finally into the archetypal map of where you actually are in the spiral of your own life. We bring in both Western medicine and Chinese medicine — not because one is better than the other, but because together they tell a far more complete story. You start to see the whole picture. And when you see the whole picture, things that felt chaotic start to make sense. The live sessions aren’t lectures. They’re conversations. Women bring what they’re experiencing in real time, and we work with it. There is something genuinely powerful about being in a room — even a virtual one — with other women who are going through the same thing. Who get it without explanation. Who laugh at the same things and cry at the same things and sit in the same not-knowing together. By the time we reach week six, most women describe feeling less alone in it, more curious about it, and more able to trust what their body is actually doing.

If you’re in perimenopause and struggling to make sense of what’s happening — yes. If you’ve been told your results are normal but something clearly isn’t right — yes. If you want to understand this transition through both Western and Chinese medicine — yes. If you’re ready to stop pushing through and start actually understanding what your body is asking of you — yes. This program is not for women looking for a quick fix. It is for women who are ready to go deeper.
