Body Pain & Menopause

A 60-Minute Integrative Masterclass

For Women Experiencing Increased Pain During Perimenopause & Menopause

You used to feel different in your body.

And lately something has shifted.

Your joints ache more.
You wake up stiff.
Your migraines feel stronger.
Inflammation seems constant.
Sleep is lighter.
Stress hits harder.

And part of you wonders…

“Is this just aging?”
“Why does everything feel more sensitive?”
“What is happening to my body?”

You are not imagining it.

Why Pain Can Increase During Menopause

Menopause is not just a reproductive transition.  It is a neurological, inflammatory, hormonal, and emotional shift. As estrogen declines:

  • Inflammatory regulation changes

  • Pain sensitivity increases

  • The nervous system becomes more reactive

  • Cortisol patterns shift

  • Sleep quality decreases

  • The gut microbiome changes

All of this can lower your pain threshold.  What once felt manageable… now feels amplified.

Understanding this changes everything.

Inside This 60-Minute Masterclass You’ll Learn:

- Why estrogen plays a key role in inflammation and joint health -

- How menopause affects your nervous system and pain response -

- The connection between stress, cortisol, and flare-ups -

- Why sleep disruption worsens pain -

- How gut health influences inflammation -

- The emotional transitions that often surface during this stage -

- Gentle, practical ways to calm your system -

This is not a quick fix. It’s a compassionate explanation of what’s happening — and how to support your body through it.

This Masterclass Is For You If:

  • You are in perimenopause or menopause

  • Your pain has increased in the past few years

  • You feel confused by new symptoms

  • You’ve been told “this is normal” but still want support

  • You want an integrative, science-informed perspective

  • You are ready to work with your body instead of fighting it

What You’ll Walk Away With

After this masterclass, you will:

✔ Understand why your pain may have intensified
✔ Feel less afraid of what’s happening in your body
✔ Learn how to calm inflammatory pathways
✔ Know how to support your nervous system daily
✔ Feel more empowered in this transition

Most importantly, you’ll leave with reassurance. Your body is adapting. And adaptation can be supported.

“I created this masterclass because so many women come to me feeling confused and discouraged during menopause. They feel like their body has turned against them. But what I see, over and over again, is a nervous system asking for recalibration — not a body that is broken.”

I am incredibly grateful to have my life back.

I have been coming to Shannon for almost 2 years when traditional doctors had not been able to make any difference in my almost daily, severe vertigo episodes (Meniere's), even after trying many medications. Today I have been free of vertigo episodes for close to 6 months.

Shannon is a joy to work with.

Often times, she addresses not only your immediate needs, but looks to the bigger picture in your life. I could go to Shannon indefinitely for quick patch jobs… rather than maintain me, she is helping me shift my health and improve it.
