About Nathalie S. Markiefka

My passion for this work was born from my own experience with the overwhelming landscape of perimenopause. Like many women, I found myself searching for information and support that was surprisingly scarce.

​

The standard Western approach of simply "managing symptoms" didn't resonate with me. I felt that I wasn't just experiencing physical changes; I was entering a deep shift in my identity. I found myself navigating emotional chaos and resurfacing past trauma, at times not even recognising my own behaviours. I knew that "managing" wasn't enough—I understood that this was a threshold moment that required a more holistic, grounded way of being.

​

Having spent a decade as an educator in healthy, sustainable food, I knew nutrition was a key pillar. But it was through my lifelong practice of Qi Gong that I found my deeper answers in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In texts thousands of years old, I discovered a view of this transition that was profoundly empowering: The Second Spring.

​

In the tradition of the Second Spring, menopause is not seen as a decline, but as a homecoming. It is the moment the body stops sending its vital energy outward and begins to reroute it upward to nourish the woman’s own heart, spirit, and wisdom. This discovery shifted my entire trajectory. It led me to train in Integrative Nutrition ( TCM & Western ) and Aromatherapy and develop what I call Regenerative Wellbeing: a practice of lifestyle choices that align the sustainability of our planet with human health in all its facets—physical, emotional, mental, and energetic.

​

My dedication is to help shift the narrative of menopause from one of loss to one of radiant vitality. I am here to support you on your journey through this threshold, offering a safe, grounded space where you are respected and empowered to bloom in your own Second Spring.
