Hot & Bothered
(Sex, Menopause and Mocktails)
Friday, Sept 18th, 6:30-8p
In-person (Davis, CA)
Join Emma Shandy Anway (Certified Sex Therapist) and Emese Parker (Certified Menopause Practitioner)! We’ll have mocktails, delicious bites, and honest conversation about one of the least talked-about parts of midlife: sex and intimacy during perimenopause/menopause.
Whether you’re experiencing changes in desire, discomfort with sex, shifts in your relationship, or simply wondering “Is this normal?” you’re not alone.
Together, we’ll:
- explore how menopause affects our bodies, brains, and relationships
- bust common myths
- discuss evidence-based treatment options
- reimagine what intimacy can look like in this stage of life
You’ll leave feeling informed, empowered, and hopeful, with practical tools and resources you can actually use.
