​​Have you ever wondered why your sex drive during menopause is low?

Courtney Boyer, an experienced sexuality coach and author with over 17 years in the field, talks about helping women navigate common concerns about sex drive during menopause. 

Courtney integrates a holistic approach to her work, including elements of energy healing and chakra alignment, and she offers practical tools for women to reconnect with their sexuality and enhance their Relationships. 

Her expertise has been recognized by prominent publications, including the Huffington Post.

Key insights:

1. Understanding Low Libido During Menopause: the impact of menopause on women's sex drive, hormonal changes and their effects on arousal and desire. 

2. Self-Awareness and Permission for Pleasure: the idea of giving oneself “permission for pleasure,” which includes both sexual and everyday pleasures that bring joy and fulfillment.

3. Role of Past Trauma: unresolved trauma, whether big or small, can significantly affect a woman's sexuality. Addressing these traumas can be crucial for healing and developing a healthy sex life.

4. Communication with Partners: effective communication is vital in relationships, especially when dealing with issues of low libido during menopause. Both partners may feel rejected or inadequate, and discussing these feelings openly can help to bridge gaps and bring couples closer.
5. Energy Work and Pleasure Practices: the concept of energy work, especially related to the sacral chakra, can unlock creativity and pleasure. This includes developing practices that connect with and nurture one's body sensually and sexually, leading to better overall well-being.

Mary Helen Lee Licensed Menopause Champion, Menopause Doula

Mary is a retired veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces serving more than 24 years. Since retiring from service, Mary worked as a PR practitioner in numerous industries, including healthcare, education, aviation, government, mining, bio innovation, and life sciences.

She has an insatiable appetite for knowledge, especially in health and wellness. In fact, Mary has pursued fitness and wellness as a side hustle for close to 30 years. In this field, she has been in contact with many women experiencing the same issue - perimenopause. The story is always the same, complaints about weight gain, sleeplessness, brain fog, hot flashes, mood swings, and issues with digestion. It came to her that this is an area that sadly lacks information and support, and that more resources are needed to empower women in their journey.

Motivated by her own negative encounter with the misogynistic views and lack of knowledge and empathy for women's health issues, Mary has made it her mission to debunk the misunderstanding and mistruths about women’s health.

Mary haphazardly came across the Menopause Doula certification course and promptly enrolled with Doula Training Centre based in Toronto, Canada. Since completing the program Mary has continued in her learning journey with numerous other qualifications including Ayurveda Principles, Menopause 2.0 with Dr. Stacy Sims, Brain Health for Menopause with Dr. Fiona Lovely, Women’s Health Coaching Certification through Girls Gone Strong, and Yoga for Traumatic Brain Injury through the Love Your Brain Foundation.

Mary is the owner of Emme Elle Coaching and host of All Things Menopausal Podcast, a podcast that features guest experts in the field of menopause and hormone health - from the physical and mental to the emotional and spiritual.
