Finding joy in perimenopause
9 - week Online Academy
26th October - 21st December 2026
Live · Online · Only 12 Places
You're Not Falling Apart.
You're Only in the Perimenopause Cocoon.
And what happens inside a cocoon is not a gentle rearrangement. It is a complete unmaking. Everything that was — dissolves.
So that “you” which was always waiting inside could finally emerge.
Finding Joy in Perimenopause is a live, intimate 9-week programme that gives you the science, the tools, the community, and the deep understanding to navigate perimenopause — not only with less confusion, but with real, embodied joy.
This is not about managing symptoms until they pass. This is about understanding the transformation you are in, learning to trust it, and thriving through it!
Women aged 35–55 are already reserving their place.
Seats are intentionally limited to 12.
You know something has changed.
You just don't have the name for it yet.
You're intelligent. You've done the research. And you still can't get a clear, complete picture of what's happening in your own body — but this course exists to fix it.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Waking at 3am, heart pounding, for no reason you can name
- Anxiety you've never had in your life before — sudden, unexplained, overwhelming
- Losing words mid-sentence — brain fog so thick, that it frightens you
- Rage that arrives from nowhere and leaves you ashamed and exhausted
- Your periods doing something completely unpredictable
- Tiredness that sleep doesn't fix — bone-deep, relentless
- Weight shifting even though nothing has changed in your diet
- Hair falling out, skin sagging, body feeling like a stranger's
- Feeling invisible — in your own life, in your own relationships, in your own body
- Being told 'everything is normal' when you know, in your bones, that it isn't
- A low-level grief you can't explain — like something is ending, but you don't know what
- Feeling utterly alone in all this, even when you're surrounded by people
- Wondering if this is just who you are now — and quietly feeling terrified that it might be
- A loss of desire — not just for sex, but for things that used to light you up
- Crying without knowing why — or not being able to cry at all
- Feeling like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way
- No longer recognising the woman looking back at you in the mirror
- A quiet sense that joy has slipped away — and you don’t know how to find it again
if you nodded at even two of those — this course was made for you. Most women are left to navigate this alone, often in silence, often with shame. This programme names it, addresses it, and holds it with the honesty it deserves.
Yes — This is for me →Why women feel so lost
Symptoms that make no sense together
You've Googled every combination. You're still lost. Because no one has ever sat with you and shown you how it all connects. Since perimenopause is a whole-body shift, no single search can hold it.
'It's just stress. It's just aging.'
You walk out of appointments without real answers. You've been told to slow down, sleep more — as if you hadn't thought of that. You've been offered antidepressants when what you needed was hormonal evaluation.
Everything that worked has stopped working
You eat well. You exercise. You've always taken care of yourself. So why does your body feel like a stranger? It isn't broken. It's changing. And you can learn its new language.
Your mental health is being misread
The anxiety is hormonal. The low mood is hormonal. The rage, the emotional volatility, the sudden loss of resilience — all of it has a biological explanation. You deserve the full picture, but no one is connecting the dots.
No one is talking about the identity shift
This is not just physical. The woman you were is quietly dissolving. And no one has told you that this is not a crisis. It is a transformation. And it has a purpose.
Sexuality & sensuality are completely invisible
Your libido, your sexual sensations, how you feel in your body — they are all changing, but they are almost never spoken about.
Joy has become a distant memory
You remember feeling alive, light, genuinely excited by your days. Now it takes everything you have just to keep going. Perimenopause doesn’t only steal your sleep — it can quietly steal your sense of self. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
“Perimenopause doesn't just affect your hormones. It touches every part of who you are — how you sleep, how you think, how you feel, how you love, how you see yourself. This programme was built to meet all of it.
Not just the physical. All of it.”
— Dr Kamila Hortynska
The Cocoon. The Soup. The Butterfly.
Most people think a caterpillar just changes shape — grows wings and flies away. That is not what actually happens.
In reality it digests its own body. It “un-makes” itself. Everything dissolves. Everything that made it what it was — turns into a mushy soup. If you cracked a cocoon open halfway through this process, you would think it was dead. But you would be wrong.
Deep inside every caterpillar is hidden a memory of the butterfly it was always meant to be. Dormant, sleeping, waiting. That memory is holding a complete blueprint of the butterfly you are becoming. Wings that fly. Eyes that see in colour. A body designed for the freedom of space. All of encoded since birth. But this memory cannot activate when the caterpillar is still intact. The old form has to dissolve first.
Destruction of your former life is a requirement. Dissolved remains of your former self become the raw material for what is being built. Nothing is wasted. Nothing is lost. Everything gets transformed. That is exactly what is happening to you in perimenopause.
The woman who held everything together and made it look effortless. The one whose patience felt endless. That form of you is dissolving. And you are becoming something you were always meant to be.
The woman on the other side of perimenopause comes out crystal clear about what is really a priority for her. Everything that was performance — gone. Everything she carried because she thought she had to — gone. And what's left is the actual her. Maybe for the first time.

I am not just a clinical psychologist who has read about perimenopause. I lived it and I’m still living it. And I know what it feels like when you are dissolving — when the woman you have always been seems to be disappearing — while everyone around you tells you that you are fine.
When my own perimenopause began — earlier than I ever expected — I had no roadmap. I searched. I Googled. I went from appointment to appointment, and I was told, again and again: 'Everything looks normal.' That is the most helpless and lonely moment of your life. When you know something is wrong — and someone with authority tells you that you are fine.
I know the sleepless nights, the night sweats, the brain fog, the overthinking. Waking at 3am, heart racing, with no explanation. Losing my train of thought mid-sentence. Exhaustion. I knew something was happening — but I couldn't find a space that would hold all of it at once.
I went through my own “unmaking”. A divorce. A burnout. A career shift. Moving countries — all at once. My life became a mushy soup that didn’t even resemble what, and who, was there before. It was not elegant. It was not graceful. But it was exactly what it needed to be. Completely dissolved, so that something new could form out of this nothingness.
Six years later, I live part-time in Greece, work in alignment with my values, and feel genuinely alive again. Not in spite of perimenopause. But exactly because of what it asked me to become.
That personal experience — combined with 25 years of clinical practice — became the foundation of everything I do. And it showed me something I could not unsee: brilliant, capable women are navigating perimenopause completely alone. Subdued. Listless. Confused. Holding everything together on the outside, while something profound is shifting inside.
My goal is not to replace your doctor. My goal is to make sure you never walk into that office feeling lost, dismissed, or unprepared again. My goal is to help you rebuild your capacity for joy so you can thrive again. Just like me! But in your own way. That is why I built this. For you. For us. For every woman who was told she was fine — when she knew she wasn't.
— Dr Kamila Hortynska
What every woman deserves to know
- Your symptoms are biologically real — not imagined, not weakness, not 'just stress'
- Perimenopause is complex and individual — a 10-minute appointment can't do it justice. It deserves proper attention and a plan that actually fits you.
- Perimenopause starts earlier than you think. And you have far more options than you've been told.
- The more informed you are, the better conversations you will have — and the better care you can receive
- Suffering through this is common — but it is absolutely not inevitable
- HRT is not something to fear — and for many women, it is genuinely life-changing. You deserve to understand your options, not be kept from them
- Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress and gut health all directly influence your hormonal balance — and can be powerfully supportive alongside or instead of medication
- Your mental health changes are hormonally driven — and there are real, specific things you can do about them
- Your sexuality and sensuality are not lost — they are changing. And with the right support and understanding, they can be reclaimed, often more deeply than before
- The identity shift you are experiencing is not a breakdown. It is an initiation. Women across cultures and throughout history have recognised this as one of the most significant transitions of a woman's life
- You are not too sensitive. You are not too much. You are not falling apart. You are in the cocoon — and what emerges is extraordinary
Not a webinar. Not a passive watch-and-forget.
A real experience that changes your life.
This is a deliberately small, live programme — because women who need this most, deserve more than a lecture.
Every session is interactive. Every week builds on the last. You leave with clarity, not more tabs open.
Intimate by design. Transformative by intention.
Finding Joy in Perimenopause Academy is intentionally kept small — because real transformation happens in intimate spaces, not crowded webinars. In this programme you will be heard, seen, and genuinely supported
from the very first session to the very last.
Nine live sessions. Twelve women. Every dimension of this transition — the physical, the emotional, the relational, the spiritual. Because the woman on the other side of perimenopause doesn't come out diminished. She comes out distilled.

“You'll be in a room with women who are going through exactly what you are — and with Dr Kamila, who has lived this transition herself, trained in functional medicine & nutrition, and built this course because she knows what it feels like to search for answers alone.”
She built Finding Joy in Perimenopause Programme so you don't have to figure it out the hard way.
Every session draws on evidence, lived experience, and a deep respect for how individual this transition is —
because no two women's perimenopause is the same.
Nine Sessions. Every Dimension of Perimenopause.
From the physical and hormonal, to the emotional and cognitive, to the relational, the sensual, and the deeply personal question of who you are becoming — the practices, rituals, and tools to help you find joy along the way. To help you choose joy, freely and fully, and thrive on the other side.
Your Perimenopause Journey — Where You Are & What's Coming
We begin together. You'll understand exactly what perimenopause is, why it now starts earlier than most women expect, and how these 9 weeks will equip you to navigate every dimension of this transition — from the inside out. You will also begin to understand the metaphor of the cocoon: why the dissolution is not the end, but the beginning.
What Perimenopause Is Doing to Your Body
Clear, deep science on the hormonal changes behind your symptoms (sleep disruption, weight shifts, metabolism, skin, hair, cardiovascular health) with real solutions you can begin using right away. We also explore oxytocin and what your body needs to expand its capacity for joy on a physiological level.
Nutrition, Sexual Health, Bone Density & Your Personal Plan
We go deeper — into nutrition, gut health, sexual health, bone density, and cardiovascular changes. We explore what your body is asking for now, and how to begin building an approach that is genuinely yours — because your perimenopause will never look exactly like anyone else's.
Anxiety, Mood, Memory, Relationships & Self-Advocacy
The emotional and cognitive shifts of perimenopause are real — and they are hormonal. We explore how to manage anxiety, protect cognitive sharpness, navigate changing relationships — with partners, family and colleagues — and step into every healthcare conversation feeling prepared, confident and clear.
Opening the Body for Joy — Somatic Work, Trauma Release & Pleasure Mapping
Before joy can be fully embodied, the body needs to release what it has been carrying. In this session we work somatically — drawing on somatic experiencing, breathwork, Ecstatic Dance, and Soul Body Fusion® — to help you identify where old stress and trauma are held in the body, and begin to release them. This creates space — literally, physically — for something new.
Beliefs, Intergenerational Patterns & Expanding Capacity for Joy
Joy is not just a feeling. It is something we have to learn that we are allowed to have. In this session we explore the beliefs and intergenerational patterns — inherited from generations of women who were not given permission to live fully — that quietly limit our capacity for joy. We identify them. And we begin to transform them.
Pleasure, Intimacy, Tantric Practices & the Relationship with Your Partner
A whole session dedicated to something that most programmes never address — sensuality and sexuality in perimenopause: what changes, why, and how to move through it with curiosity rather than grief. Expect tantric practices, Kundalini energy, and the awakening that perimenopause can initiate — as well as how to talk with your partner so they become a source of real support, not another pressure.
Identity, Purpose, Spiritual Awakening & the Wise Woman Within
Perimenopause is a sacred initiation. It asks you who you really are — beyond your roles, your habits, your history. In this session we explore identity shifts, spiritual awakening, and the profound opportunity this transition holds. We explore astrology of transformation and other cosmic forces that always coincide with woman’s great unmaking — and what it means to step into the most grounded, powerful, joyful version of yourself yet.
Finding Joy in Perimenopause — The Full-Body Workshop & Sound Bath Celebration
This closing session weaves everything together into a lived experience of what this programme has been building towards — embodied tools for finding joy in perimenopause. We close with an Ecstatic Dance and Sound Bath ceremony. A deeply restorative, vibrational experience to mark your completion and anchor your transformation.
Everything you came here for. And more than you expected.
Real, specific outcomes — not vague promises. Here is what nine weeks inside Finding Joy in Perimenopause actually gives you.
Understanding of your body, mind & spirit
Finally make sense of everything you’re experiencing — from hormonal changes to emotional shifts to the deeper identity questions perimenopause quietly raises.
A clear picture of your options
Lifestyle strategies, HRT, holistic tools — laid out clearly and without bias, so you can make genuinely informed choices that fit your body, your values, your needs.
The language to advocate for yourself
Step into your next appointment knowing what to ask, what to push for, and how to have the conversations that actually move things forward.
A reframe that changes everything
Shift from feeling like something is wrong with you — to understanding this as one of the most significant, powerful, magical and potentially joyful chapters of your life. One that is happening for you, not to you.
Embodied joy practices you can use every day
Specific tools to reclaim joy based on Mindfulness, Ecstatic Dance, and Tantra — plus daily rituals rooted in the science of how joy works in your body. Not theory. Felt experience.
Freedom from what has been blocking your joy
Through somatic work, belief transformation, and trauma-informed practices, you dissolve the inherited patterns, body-held tension, and intergenerational programmes that have quietly kept your joy out of reach even before perimenopause began.
An understanding of why your 40s feel so turbulent — and why that is a gift
The astrological transits of midlife are not a coincidence. They are an invitation. It is an awakening potential built in by design. You will leave knowing how to cooperate with this shift rather than resist it — and how to use it to build a life that is truly yours.
Lasting, practical tools
Nutrition, movement, stress management, emotional wellbeing, somatic practices, joy rituals — all rooted in functional medicine, clinical psychology, tantric practices and mindfulness — that you can use long after this programme ends.
A plan that’s genuinely yours
No one-size-fits-all approach. You’ll leave knowing how to experiment, adjust, and build something designed around your unique body — not anyone else’s.
A community you’ve been craving
Women who are going through exactly what you are. No performance. No pretending. Just honest, human, deeply supported connection.
Lasting, practical tools
Nutrition, movement, stress management, emotional wellbeing, somatic practices, joy rituals — all rooted in functional medicine, clinical psychology, tantric practices and mindfulness — that you can use long after this programme ends.
Rediscovered identity & purpose
Exploration of who you are beyond your roles. Firmly stepping into your next chapter with clarity and intention — genuinely thriving.
Joy. Real, embodied, unapologetic joy.
Not the performance of happiness. The deep, grounded, cellular joy that is possible when you finally understand yourself completely. When you let go of everyone else’s expectations of how you should behave, and give yourself the freedom of being you.
Finding Joy in Perimenopause Academy is for You, because femininity doesn’t disappear with your estrogen! It simply evolves.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH ME
Real words from real women.
These women came looking for answers. They found something more.My family, friends and partner cannot believe how much I have changed after doing the course with Kamila, they say I am a completely different person. It has improved all aspects of my life! I was the biggest skeptic. Now I’m completely converted. Thank you.
Katherine, 41I was in such a bad place before the Academy. This course has taught me to prioritise myself. I’ve learned that self-love is so important, otherwise, it is as if you are in an invisible cage and not able to be yourself fully.
Daz, 38I feel like a new person compared to how I felt in the 1st session of the course …especially the session about being authentic was something big for myself. Thank you Kamila, for your knowledge and sharing your personal experience with us too, it meant a lot.
Yana, 32Thank you so much for this. I feel like my Higher Self knew that this course was exactly what I needed, at the exact right time, and you really are an amazing facilitator – so knowledgeable and so non-judgemental – and allowed the sessions to flow as the group needed.
Liv, 45What I didn’t expect was to rediscover who I am. I came because of brain fog and sleepless nights, and yes, I have tools for those now. But the session on identity stopped me completely. For the first time I asked myself: who am I when I’m not there for everyone else? Kamila holds a space where that question feels safe to sit with. I barely recognise the woman who started this course, and I mean that in the best possible way

Miriam, 51
I joined for the information. I stayed for the women. I had no idea how much I needed to be in that room (even a virtual one) with other women who were going through exactly this. Real conversation about something we’d all been carrying quietly for years. Kamila creates that safety. The knowledge she gives you is extraordinary, but the feeling of not being alone in this? That was the thing I didn’t know I needed most.”
Natalie, 48My mum had a really hard time with menopause and I always had it in the back of my mind that I didn’t want that to be me. So when I saw this course I thought, why wait until I’m struggling? I’ll be honest, I felt a bit silly at first, like I’d shown up to the wrong party. But Kamila made me feel completely welcome. And the things I learned about my hormones, my cycle, how my body actually works. I wish I’d known all of this at 25. I’m not in perimenopause yet. But now I feel ready.
Siobhan, 36A course run by Kamila had a profound impact on my life and how I relate to myself and others around me… the skills and methods I learned got me through the toughest time of my life. I have since completed a different course too and I come away feeling as though I’ve given my mind a spring clean. I’d highly recommend any course or retreat facilitated by Kamila and am already looking forward to the next opportunity to attend 🙂
Sophie, 35Kamila is an incredible therapist and a wonderful facilitator. She has such a soothing and calming presence. Her intuitive way of working is just phenomenal. You’ll feel magical when you step out of the room. Her breadth of knowledge and experience means she’ll be able to handle whatever you bring to her. You won’t regret it!
Becki, 31I feel like a new person compared to how I felt in the 1st session of the course …especially the session about being authentic was something big for myself. Thank you Kamila, for your knowledge and sharing your personal experience with us too, it meant a lot.

IS THIS FOR ME?
Absolutely. This course is designed to work alongside any treatment path — including HRT. Whether you’re on HRT, considering it, or choosing a different route entirely, In Her Body gives you a deeper understanding of what is happening in your body, why, and what options exist beyond any single solution. HRT is one tool. This course gives you the full picture and the space to ask all the questions you may have as a woman in midlife.
Yes — and you may be exactly who this course is for. Perimenopause can begin in your mid-30s, often quietly and without a clear diagnosis. If something has shifted in your body, your mood, your sleep, your sense of self and you’re looking for answers, this course will give them to you. You don’t need a confirmed diagnosis to benefit. You just need to be paying attention to your body, which it sounds like you already are.
Yes. Finding Joy in Perimenopause Academy is open to women anywhere in the world. All sessions are held on Zoom. The live sessions run every Monday from 26th October 2026 from 6:30–9pm UK time (BST). If you’re joining from a different time zone, we recommend checking what that translates to locally before booking. Also the recorded sessions mean you’ll never miss the content even if a live attendance may be a stretch.
The live session each Monday is 2.5 hours. Beyond that, there are journaling exercises and reflection prompts in your course handout. These are designed to be light and genuinely useful, not homework for homework’s sake. Most women find 30 to 60 minutes of personal reflection per week feels right, but this is entirely your own pace. There is no performance required. And it will be totally up to you to decide which or how many recommended practices you decide to implement.
My goal is not to replace your doctor. My goal is to make sure you never walk into a medical appointment feeling lost, dismissed, or unprepared again. I cannot prescribe HRT but I can make sure you will be able to make an informed choice if you decide to take that route. Also your doctor will not be the right person to discuss your changing emotional needs, societal roles or any questions about the spiritual side of this transition.
A GP appointment often lasts only ten minutes and ends up with a “quick fix” prescription. A specialist may give you more treatment recommendations, but will not be e.g. discussing the emotional impact sleepless nights have on your relationship dynamics. What many women never receive is a clear, joined understanding of what is actually happening in their body, mind, and emotional life during perimenopause.and enough space to process the information without time pressure.
In Her Body programme is designed to give you that space and understanding. It explains the science behind the changes you are experiencing and introduces you to the full range of options that exist, including tests, treatments, hormonal and non-hormonal approaches. The intention is not to overwhelm you, but to help you understand what choices are available so you can decide what feels right for you.
Through the programme, you learn how to advocate for yourself. You learn how to walk into your next appointment informed, prepared, and confident enough to ask the questions that matter.
Most importantly, you begin to see that what you are feeling is real. It is not in your head. Your experience deserves to be understood. And the time we spend together every week and the connections you make on the course give you a sense you are not alone in this journey and that your experiences are commonly shared.
This stage of life can feel confusing and isolating, but it is also a moment of transition. A moment to ask new questions about who you are becoming and what you want the next chapter of your life to look like.
And when the people around you begin to understand what you are going through, you no longer have to carry this experience alone.
This is a completely understandable question. When you join the programme, you are entering a supportive space where you can explore your experience at your own pace. There is no pressure to perform or to have everything figured out.
I designed In Her Body for women who are curious, open, and willing to explore both the science of perimenopause and their own personal experience. Everyone arrives with different questions and different needs, and there is no “right” way to participate.
If after the first session you feel that the programme is not what you expected, please reach out to me directly. While places are non-refundable due to the small group nature of the programme, I always want participants to feel supported, and we can talk about the best way forward together.
If at this moment something in you feels drawn to join, that instinct is often a good place to begin.
ABOUT YOUR GUIDE & FACILITATOR
I am a Clinical Psychologist, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, and Mindfulness Teacher. I am also a Soul Body Fusion® Practitioner, Ecstatic Dance Facilitator, and trained in Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, Neuropsychology, and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. My approach draws on 25 years of clinical practice and 15 years of my own lived experience navigating hormonal changes of midlife — which is why every part of this course exists for a reason.
Most menopause resources treat this transition as a medical problem to be managed — a list of symptoms to reduce, a phase to get through. Dr Kamila’s approach is built on a completely different premise.
Perimenopause is not just a hormonal event. It is a psychological, identity, relational, and spiritual transition. And underneath all the symptoms — the rage, the fog, the exhaustion, the grief — there is an invitation. To dissolve what no longer serves. To reclaim what was never truly gone. To become, perhaps for the first time, fully yourself.
Dr Kamila works across the body, mind, relationships, soul, and joy — drawing on clinical psychology, functional medicine, trauma-informed practices, mindfulness, Soul Body Fusion®, Ecstatic Dance, tantric practices, and spiritual perspectives including the astrological transits that naturally coincide with this life stage.
This is not a passive watch-and-learn course. Every session is live, interactive and intimate — 12 women maximum, so every voice is heard. The science is rigorous. The space is honest. And the destination is not just fewer symptoms. It is a woman who knows herself, trusts herself, and has found her way back to real, embodied joy.
This is not about surviving perimenopause. It is about moving through it — and emerging as the woman you were always becoming.
