The beauty of starting a new thing this year… my retreat at Kayanova Retreat Centre is on the agenda! 13-18 September 2026 ! Check it out!

Many people don’t need another method, framework or goal to work towards.
They need space.

Space to step out of constant responsibility.
Space to feel instead of analyse.
Space to listen to what has been quietly asking for attention for a long time.

was created from that need.

Not as a place to “fix” yourself, but as an environment where your nervous system can soften and your inner compass can come back online.

In a small, safe setting, held by nature and simplicity, you are invited to reconnect with your body, emotions and intuition. To remember your own rhythm. To return to yourself without pressure or performance.

Kayanova offers a pause that allows something essential to shift...

When winter approaches and daylight fades, many people notice their sleep becomes lighter, shorter, or more restless. Your body needs a stronger cue to shift from wakefulness to rest, and slow breathing can help you make that transition with ease.

😴 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗱:
Inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6 counts, and repeat for a few minutes. This gentle rhythm calms your nervous system and supports deeper sleep on winter nights.

💭 If you want to understand why sleep matters so much, this 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗿 is really worth watching: he explains the hidden impacts of sleep timing, light exposure, alcohol, and other lifestyle habits on our sleep quality.

💠𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝟰 𝗼𝗳 𝟰: 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽💠

🌙 Can’t sleep during perimenopause?
In Chinese Medicine, this often means your 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 are out of balance, your inner “fire” and “water” not supporting each other as they should.

✨ Try a calming bedtime ritual to restore balance:
🦶 a warm foot bath to draw energy down
📵 one screen-free hour before bed
🍵 a cup of passiflora–melissa tea to soothe the mind
💨 and a few slow, deep belly breaths — breathing gently into your lower abdomen to connect Heart and Kidney energy and calm your system.

💠𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝟯 𝗼𝗳 𝟰: 𝗜𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀💠

😤 Feeling more irritable or emotionally up and down lately?

In Chinese Medicine, that often means your 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 is getting stuck. When this energy can’t move freely, emotions start to stagnate too.

✨ A simple 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁-𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 can already make a big difference. It helps the Liver energy flow smoothly again, releasing tension and restoring emotional balance.

🎥 In this video, I show you how to do a gentle twist-stretch to ease irritability and mood swings during perimenopause.

🌿 Give your Liver a bit of space, and your mood will thank you 😊.

🔥 Experiencing hot flushes or night sweats?

In Chinese Medicine, this is often linked to 𝐘𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲, when the body’s natural cooling system becomes a bit “dry.”

✨ To restore balance, try adding more cool Yin foods such as cucumber, pear, or mint tea.

At the same time, limit coffee, alcohol, and spicy foods: these can add extra heat to the system.

🌱 Cooling from the inside helps ease the heat outside.

Do you notice more stiffness or joint pain lately?
In Chinese Medicine, this often relates to a decline in Kidney energy, which nourishes and supports our bones and joints.

✨ The good news: gentle, consistent movement helps keep energy flowing and reduces discomfort. Try daily walking, tai chi, or soft stretching: your joints will thank you.

A beautiful reminder to pause, share, and support each other through this natural phase of change.

Menopause isn’t just about hormones: it’s about energy, balance, and self-care.
Through Chinese Medicine, we can learn gentle, practical ways to ease symptoms and reconnect with our body’s wisdom.

🌿 Over the next 2 weeks, I’ll be sharing 4 posts with perimenopause tips. Stay tuned!

“𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆”: 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 ✨

Together with Brigitte Wezel, Aurélie de Schoutheete and Sophie Girard-Sequeir, we guided an incredible group of women through a unique workshop about the menopause.

From calming red dates and chrysanthemum tea to a deeply restorative yoga nidra exploring the five kosha (Indian medicine) layers of the body: last Saturday was all about wisdom, connection, and balance.

We shared a powerful women’s circle enriched with insights from Chinese Medicine, focusing on movement, nutrition, and acupressure self-massage, to support women through every phase of (peri-)menopause.
