I’m Lorrie Mickelson. As a yoga and pilates teacher, certified personal trainer with a masters in health and physical education, I’ve found the recipe for restful nights that smoothly roll into joy-filled days. Recently, I faced sleep issues, decreased strength, and mental fuzziness. Although I was going through menopause I knew something else was going on and was feeling the toll of neglecting self-care. Never again.
