Aging On Your Own Terms

Wellness Wednesday Hello, Welcome to the latest installment of the Wellness Wednesday Newsletter from Shape with Char!! Each Wednesday, I share a wellness tip for improving your health, fitness and well-being in a brief email.

Strength training is essential for women in midlife, as it helps combat the natural loss of muscle and bone density that occurs with age.

Lifting weights, or using resistance builds strength, supports joint health, improves posture, boosts metabolism and most importantly...... builds strong muscles and bones, which are critical for functional, independent living.

If you interested in starting a strength training program but feel you lack the right equipment, the knowledge to use it, or both.......let me help.

As a Certified Menopause Health Coach, Personal Trainer and Nutrition Specialist, I offer small classes specifically designed for women in midlife who want to learn correct form while safely building strength using the latest exercise research.
This class is called Burn & Learn.

Fall & Winter classes are available for registration.

Balancing Hormones Workshop
This educational seminar is designed specifically for women who want to better understand the hormonal and metabolic changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause—and, most importantly, what they can do naturally to feel their best.

Many women are told that weight gain, low energy, poor sleep, brain fog, cravings, bloating, mood changes, and hot flashes are simply part of getting older.
During this seminar, Daphne explains why these symptoms happen and how supporting the body's foundations can naturally improve metabolism, energy, and hormone balance.

We'll cover topics including:
*Why "eat less and exercise more" often stops working after 40.
*What is really changing hormonally during perimenopause and menopause.
*How metabolism changes with age—and how to naturally support it.
*The important role insulin plays in energy, cravings, belly fat, and hormone balance.
*Why food is one of the most powerful tools for supporting hormones, metabolism, and healthy aging.
*Practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies you can begin implementing immediately to improve energy, sleep, mood, digestion, and overall well-being.
*Real-life meal examples and simple habits that fit into busy lives.

✨ Breathe Deep. Listen. Unwind. ✨
Imagine lying beneath the open sky as the sun begins to set, surrounded by nature, while the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls gently wash over you.

🌿 Join us for a beautiful Outdoor Sound Bath Experience on Thursday September 17 at 6:00 PM.
Being outdoors adds an entirely different dimension to this practice. The gentle breeze, birdsong, rustling leaves, and fresh evening air naturally calm the nervous system, allowing you to feel even more grounded and connected. As the sounds of the instruments blend with the sounds of nature, you'll experience a unique sense of peace that simply can't be recreated indoors.

A sound bath is a deeply restorative experience that can help:
✨ Reduce stress and anxiety
✨ Reduce stress and anxiety
✨ Quiet a busy mind
✨ Promote deep relaxation
✨ Leave you feeling refreshed, centred, and renewed
No experience is necessary—simply bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, and anything else that will help you get comfortable as you soak in this magical outdoor evening.
