The Midlife Collection™ by PleasureFWRD
A New Chapter. Designed By YOU.
Evidence-informed education, somatic embodiment, and practical support for perimenopause, menopause, and what comes next.
Midlife changes more than hormones.
It can reshape your sleep, energy, emotions, body, relationships, intimacy, health, and sense of self.
The Midlife Collection™ brings together education, nervous-system care, embodied practices, and meaningful conversation to help you understand what is changing—and support the woman you are becoming.
Not by trying to return to who you were.
By learning how to live well in the body and life you have now.
Our Philosophy
This Is More Than a Hormonal Transition
Perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause affect far more than the menstrual cycle.
They can influence how you think, sleep, recover, regulate stress, experience emotion, relate to your body, connect with others, and imagine the years ahead.
Yet women are often handed disconnected advice, conflicting information, or the message that they simply need to tolerate what is happening.
We believe you deserve something more thoughtful.
The Midlife Collection™ offers a whole-person approach—bringing together knowledge, embodiment, self-advocacy, intimacy, relationships, and long-term well-being.
Because this season is not only about managing symptoms.
It is about understanding yourself differently.
UNDERSTAND
FOUNDATIONS
What if your body wasn't something to fix, judge, or constantly negotiate with?
Many women spend years criticizing, comparing, ignoring, or fighting their bodies without realizing how much energy it requires.
Changing the Conversation with Your Body is an experiential workshop designed to help you develop a more compassionate, respectful, and connected relationship with yourself.
Through somatic practices, guided reflection, evidence-informed education, and meaningful conversation, you'll explore how body image, self-talk, perfectionism, and cultural expectations influence the way you experience your body.
Rather than striving to love your body overnight, this experience invites you to begin with something more accessible:
Curiosity.
Because meaningful change starts with the conversations we have with ourselves every day.
You'll Experience
• Guided somatic practices
• Self-compassion exercises
• Reflection & journaling
• Body awareness
• Gentle movement
• Small group discussion
• Practical daily practices
Perfect For
Women who struggle with self-criticism, body image, perfectionism, comparison, or who simply want to cultivate a kinder relationship with themselves.

THE MIDLIFE COLLECTION
The Philosophy
Midlife isn't just a hormonal transition.
It's a life transition.
Your body is changing.
Your priorities are changing.
Your relationships, energy, career, health, and sense of identity may all be asking for something different than they did a decade ago.
Rather than simply reacting to these changes, Creating Your Midlife Health Plan™ invites you to intentionally design what comes next.
Not from fear.
From possibility.

Strength isn't just about lifting heavier weights.

Strength for Life™ is an evidence-informed workshop exploring how movement, nutrition, and everyday habits support healthy bones, strong muscles, and long-term independence.

Your heart works tirelessly for you every single day.

The good news is that many of the most important risk factors are modifiable.

Many women reach midlife feeling like their bodies have suddenly started playing by different rules.
The foods they've always eaten no longer seem to work.
Energy feels inconsistent.
Muscle becomes harder to build.
Weight shifts in unexpected ways.
It's easy to believe you've done something wrong.
You haven't.
Midlife Metabolism™ is an evidence-informed workshop that explores how hormonal changes, muscle mass, sleep, stress, nutrition, and daily habits influence metabolism during perimenopause and beyond.
Because understanding your metabolism is about much more than the number on the scale.
It's about building a body that feels strong, energized, and well-supported for the years ahead.

INTIMACY & SEXUAL WELL-BEING
Midlife marks the beginning of a new chapter—not the end of your intimate life.
As hormones shift, relationships evolve, and your body changes, it's natural for intimacy to feel different. Desire may become less spontaneous. Touch may require something new. What once felt exciting may no longer fit the woman you're becoming.
Rather than trying to return to who you were at twenty-five, The New Erotic Season™ invites you to explore who you are now.
Through evidence-informed education, somatic practices, thoughtful conversation, and guided reflection, you'll begin to understand how hormones, your nervous system, emotional connection, body image, stress, and life experiences shape your intimate life.
Because your erotic life doesn't have to end with midlife.
It can become more intentional.
More connected.
More authentic.
More alive.

Understanding desire beyond hormones—and reconnecting with what brings you alive.
The Philosophy
One of the most common questions women ask during midlife is:
"What happened to my libido?"
The answer is rarely simple.
Desire is influenced by far more than hormones. It reflects the relationship between your nervous system, emotional well-being, stress, sleep, body image, relationships, life responsibilities, physical health, and the way you've learned to experience pleasure throughout your life.
Rather than asking how to "get your sex drive back," Reclaiming Desire™ invites a different question:
What helps me feel connected, alive, and open to intimacy now?
Through evidence-informed education, somatic exploration, and honest conversation, you'll discover that desire isn't something you either have or don't have.
It's something that can be understood, nurtured, and intentionally cultivated.

This experience provides education, coaching, and wellness support. It does not diagnose or treat sexual dysfunction or replace medical care. Participants are encouraged to discuss personal health concerns with their qualified healthcare provider.
An invitation to reconnect with pleasure as a source of vitality, presence, and well-being.
The Philosophy
Pleasure is often misunderstood.
It's reduced to sexuality when, in reality, it's one of our most important pathways to feeling alive.
The warmth of the sun on your skin.
A nourishing meal.
A genuine laugh.
Movement that feels good.
Meaningful touch.
Moments of awe.
As women move through midlife, responsibilities often increase while opportunities for pleasure quietly disappear. We become experts at caring for everyone else while forgetting how to care for ourselves.
Pleasure Through Midlife™ invites you to rediscover pleasure not as something you have to earn, but as an essential part of a healthy, connected, and fulfilling life.
Because pleasure isn't a luxury.
It's part of our well-being.

Menopause doesn't just change a woman's body.
It can change the rhythm of a relationship.
Many couples find themselves navigating changing desire, physical discomfort, shifting expectations, emotional distance, or uncertainty about how to reconnect.
These experiences are common—but they don't have to define your relationship.
Intimacy Through Menopause™ is an invitation to better understand these changes together and discover new ways of creating closeness, pleasure, affection, and connection.
Because intimacy isn't about returning to what once was.
It's about creating something that fits who you are now.

Not because they don't care.
Because they don't know how.
As bodies change during midlife, communication becomes one of the most important tools for creating a satisfying intimate relationship.
Communicating About Sex™ is an experiential workshop designed to help women and couples navigate these conversations with honesty, confidence, curiosity, and compassion.

Understanding the connection between pelvic health, comfort, confidence, and pleasure throughout midlife.
The Philosophy
The pelvic floor is often discussed only when something feels wrong.
Leaking.
Pain.
Weakness.
Discomfort.
But your pelvic floor is about far more than preventing symptoms.
It plays an essential role in movement, posture, breathing, bladder health, bowel function, sexual function, pleasure, and overall quality of life.
As hormones change during perimenopause and menopause, many women experience changes in vaginal tissue, lubrication, sensitivity, arousal, comfort, and pelvic floor function.
These experiences are common.
They are not something you simply have to live with.
Pelvic Pleasure & Sexual Well-Being™ combines evidence-informed education with body awareness and practical tools to help you better understand your pelvic health and confidently advocate for your intimate well-being.
Because caring for your pelvis is caring for your whole body.

Rediscover the quiet confidence and authentic sensuality that emerge when you feel at home in your body.
The Philosophy
Confidence isn't something you put on.
It's something you embody.
And sensuality isn't about performing for someone else.
It's about experiencing yourself more fully.
Many women enter midlife carrying years of expectations about how they should look, move, age, and express themselves.
Some feel disconnected from their bodies.
Others feel invisible.
Some simply no longer recognize the woman looking back at them.
But confidence doesn't disappear with age.
It evolves.
Cultivating Confidence & Sensuality™ is an invitation to reconnect with your body, your presence, your sensuality, and the quiet magnetism that comes from feeling deeply at home in yourself.
Because the most attractive quality isn't perfection.
It's authenticity.

Midlife isn't just a physical transition.
It's an emotional one.
For many women, this season brings unexpected shifts.
Moments of grief and gratitude.
Confidence and uncertainty.
Freedom and loss.
Anger and acceptance.
Joy and exhaustion.
None of these emotions are wrong.
They are part of the landscape.
The Emotional Landscape of Midlife™ is an invitation to better understand the emotional changes that often accompany perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause—and to meet them with curiosity, compassion, and practical tools for nervous system support.
Because emotional well-being isn't about avoiding difficult emotions.
It's about learning how to move through them with greater awareness and self-trust.

It's about understanding how hormones, stress, and your nervous system work together—and learning practical ways to support them.
Because when your rhythms begin to stabilize, everything else becomes easier to navigate.

I really like the direction. It feels modern, calming, and different from a typical sound bath. I'd just refine the copy so it flows a little more naturally and sounds more like a PleasureFWRD production.

Rest isn't something you have to earn.
It's something your nervous system deserves.
Your pelvic floor is involved in far more than bladder control.
It supports your posture.
Your breathing.
Your core strength.
Your balance.
Your sexual function.
And the way you move through everyday life.
As our bodies change through perimenopause and menopause, learning how to support this part of the body becomes an important part of long-term health and well-being.
This experience introduces practical, evidence-informed strategies to help you better understand your core and pelvic floor, improve body awareness, and build strength that supports you for years to come.

Mayra Chaidez
FOUNDER
A Whole-Person Approach to MidlifeCertified Menopause Coach, Certified Sexologist, and Somatic Embodiment, Intimacy and Relationship Coach.
I created The Midlife Collection™ because women deserve support that recognizes the full experience of this transition—not only hormones and symptoms, but the body, nervous system, emotions, relationships, sexuality, identity, and future they are navigating.
My role is not to replace your physician or prescribe medical treatment.
It is to help you better understand this season, develop practical tools, reconnect with your body, and become a more informed advocate for your well-being.
Good to Know
The Midlife Collection™ provides education, coaching, somatic practices, and wellness support. It does not provide medical diagnosis, psychotherapy, or individualized medical treatment.
Experiences discussing hormone therapy, symptoms, medications, pelvic health, or other clinical concerns are intended to support informed conversations with qualified healthcare professionals—not replace them.
You Don’t Have to Navigate Midlife Alone
You do not need to understand everything at once.
You do not need to wait until your symptoms become unbearable.
You do not need to become your former self again.
You are allowed to learn what your body needs now—and build a life that supports it.
