A Somatic Healing Book for Women in Midlife
Midlife is not a breakdown. It is a threshold.
In Roots & Wings, Alison Litchfield invites women into a grounded, embodied approach to navigating perimenopause, menopause, empty nesting, burnout, and identity shifts.
Drawing from over 30 years of experience in structural integration, yoga education, and nervous system regulation.
This book offers:
- Somatic healing practices to reconnect with your body
- Guided reflections to release self-abandonment patterns
- Grounded tools to regulate the nervous system
- A compassionate roadmap for reclaiming embodied sovereignty
This is not a book about “coping” with aging.
It is a guide to rooting into your center so you can rise into your next chapter
For the Woman in the Liminal Space
If you feel:
- Exhausted but unable to truly rest
- Disconnected from your intuition
- Grieving the woman you once were
- Unsure who you are becoming
You are not broken. You are in transition.
Roots & Wings reframes midlife as initiation rather than decline. It names the quiet unraveling so many women experience and guides you toward integration.
From fragmentation to union.
From depletion to grounded strength.
From over-giving to embodied boundaries.
Praise for Roots & Wings
