Materpausia - by Mariana Perez Giarizzo (Paperback)

About the Book

What have you learned about perimenopause? Did your mother, grandmother, or gynecologist share anything with you? For many women, this stage comes as a whirlwind that shakes them physically, emotionally, and spiritually, especially when it intersects with motherhood. Perimenopause is not an isolated event, but a gradual process of hormonal changes that usually begins around the age of 40. Due to delayed motherhood, more and more women are experiencing this transformation while raising young children or teenagers. Without information and the right tools, navigating these two stages can be overwhelming, almost like facing a tsunami. Materpausia is a guide specially designed for mothers seeking to find a balance between their own changes and parenting. Through practices such as meditation, intuitive writing, conscious movement, as well as inspiring stories and profound reflections, this book invites you to recognize and reconnect with your inner needs. It will help you rediscover your inner power and find moments of peace amid the chaos of everyday life. This is a close companion for all women who wish to experience this transition with greater awareness, self-love, and serenity.

Her maternal experience, marked by a miscarriage and two complicated postpartum periods, led her to explore alternative paths, finding answers in yoga. She trained as a prenatal yoga teacher and doula, dedicating more than 12 years to supporting mothers. In 2019, as she entered perimenopause, she decided to write Materpausia, a book that combines her personal and professional experience to help other women navigate motherhood during perimenopause.
