Getting a text like this from a Midlife Radiance Reset client 💕

“All of my symptoms are gone and the advice you gave me last week has worked.”

Actually what’s here now is what she can be very proud of - a new way of relating and being with herself!

The 3 sessions are the foundations. Finding and shifting what’s draining your energy and understanding the key pieces of what’s changing at this threshold.

Protein and weights yes! AND the daily habits she’s been incorporating that nourish connection and care and delight. Micro shifts. Kindness. Curiosity. Pleasure. Enjoyment. No pushing. A new way of listening. 🧡

I work virtually around the world through my somatic wellness coaching. If you would like naturopathic care you will need to be in Alberta for me to work with you. 🙌

Text (403) 678-7901 if you’re committed to feeling better and would like support. I now work Tuesday evenings for those of you who work 9 to 5. ✨

There's something different about being accompanied while you create. Not someone telling you what to do, but someone who can stay with you when the doubt comes up ...Reignite Your Feminine Fire - Live Your Desires is a natural progression for women at Midlife after we go through the Midlife Radiance Reset Key Shifts and they better understand their bodies new rhythm and needs with naturopathic, somatic and lifestyle support . The creative energy that used to go to preparing our bodies to create and birth a babe is ready to move in new ways that are often connected to a woman's more freer delighted expression, wholeness and true desires .... birthing something only they can .... something truer ... heaven on earth ....🧡

What Women Have Said About Their Feminine Power Breakthrough Weekend Experience - this retreat is the same general flow but with a few more nourishing, embodied experiences woven in. 🦋

Here are a few reflections from women who have participated in Dr. Monika Herwig's retreats, workshops, and transformational programs.

"Monika is an amazing woman who really knew how to help me reconnect with myself and bring forward my true self.

I had been experiencing depression for several years and felt stuck. I had tried counselling and self-help books, but still struggled to move forward.

My experience at the Empowering Women Retreat gave me a deeper understanding of myself and became an important turning point in my life.

It was exactly what I needed to move forward with greater happiness, fulfillment, and possibility.

I am truly grateful for this experience."

— Venus Khan

"Wow. Monika has a gift for creating an incredibly safe container for her workshops. This set the tone and enabled a powerful, transformative, and healing experience. Thank you, Dr. Herwig, for sharing your gift and guiding women in discovering and sharing theirs."

— Stephanie
Occupational Therapist, Mother, Changemaker & Visionary

"I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Monika. I attended her wellness retreat this weekend and walked away a new person. The connection I experienced and the insights I gained will stay with me forever. Thank you so much!"

Mystic beach time on the island.🧡
Something about moss and dripping water and rolling shimmering waves
and the flowers here …
and there …
everywhere! 👏

“Light drips off the moss
1000 ways to say I love you
Right here at my feet.”

(Nature inspired haiku 💕)

One of my very favourite Fairy Camp traditions happens before we head off on our adventures.

It’s something I also share on many of my retreats and at Adult Fairy Camp because it reminds us that before adventure comes care and connection.

We pair up. One child becomes the Fairy Mama and one becomes the Baby Fairy preparing for a big flight.

First, the Fairy Mama gently brushes down the Baby Fairy’s wings and back three times, clearing away anything from previous flights that might make flying feel a little harder.

Then mama hands rest on the back of the ribs as the Baby Fairy takes slow, deep breaths, filling their wings with spaciousness and strength.

Finally, the Fairy Mama wraps her arms around the Baby Fairy taking her time, giving a gentle squeeze and whispering a fairy blessing for safety, joy, courage, and wonder on the adventure ahead.

Every year there are little moments that become my favourites ... not because of the activity itself, but because of what happens between the children. The tenderness. The care. The way they naturally look after one another. It gets me every time. 💚

Yesterday, during Fairy Camp Teacher Training, we experienced something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time: a Fairy Rest Yoga Nidra through three fairy gates, each leading into a magical realm before resting together beneath the forest canopy.

As I looked around at everyone nestled into the moss and trees, I had a feeling this might become one of those favourite traditions too. ✨

Does your usual rhythm around food shift in the summer?

There are BBQs, camping trips, visits with family and friends, road trips, ice cream stops, and a different rhythm to our days.

And there are fresh juicy berries, garden vegetables, farmers’ markets, outdoor meals, and more opportunities to slow down and enjoy our food.

This morning, a Midlife Essentials client and I were exploring how to stay connected to what helps her feel her best while visiting family this summer.

We got much more interested in curiosity and creativity than perfection.

Together, we came up with a few simple things she could do while away - small things that support her energy, hormones, nourishment, and well-being.

But what struck me most wasn’t the nutrition.

It was the story underneath.

She went from a version of:
“Well, I’m visiting my parents, so I have to eat whatever my mom cooks or she’ll feel hurt,”

to a deeper truth that honoured both her connection with her mom and her own wisdom about what helps her thrive.

In my experience, this is often where lasting change happens.

Not through willpower.
But by getting curious … including about the stories underneath our choices.

For me, midlife wellness is often less about doing everything “right” and more about getting curious and creative about what helps us thrive while fully living our lives.

I’m curious … what are some of the little things, nutrition-wise, that help you feel your best in the summer while still enjoying the camping trips, patio dinners, family visits, and ice cream stops? ☀️🍓
