Call for Presentations
Join us at Touch with Substance 2026! We center grounded, consent-based approaches that honor complexity, lived experience, and responsible practice. If your work thoughtfully engages touch in expanded or non-ordinary states through clinical, cultural, or embodied lenses, we encourage you to apply and contribute to this growing, collaborative conversation.
Perimenopause pain is a fascia story that deserves more than a shrug. Suz Vera and Dr. Daniel Irby unpack where bodywork, mental health, and prescribing meet during this wild chapter. Perfect for those crafting holistic care plans for patients and clients (without all those annoying platitudes). Includes autogenerated subtitles in a handful of languages.
Join Dr. Irby and Suz for a free monthly online gathering where we’ll come together for a lightly facilitated, deeply human hour for professionals exploring topics in bodywork, medical care, psychiatry, & expanded states.

Peery-Menopause Circle
You are one of about a billion people on planet Earth navigating perimenopause or menopause right now (and, you are not just going crazy). Stop scrolling alone and comparing your real insides to someone else's filtered highlights. Start learning, sharing, laughing, and finding real answers with a community that gets it. Find clarity, connection, and a good laugh in the chaos, no matter where in life it lands.
JULY's Theme
We want to hear your coming-of-rage story! We're turning our attention to big life changes beyond hormones but maybe, just maybe, helped along by perimenopause and menopause. We'll be unpacking what happens when we let go of who we "should" be or who we were to discover who we're actually becoming with clarity and joy.
Family Constellations are powerful portals that bring understanding and a fresh perspective to the big picture of our lives. Join our next online free constellation day. Together, we can gently untangle the mystery of how things got to be the way they are.
