Meet Your Facilitators
Menopause & Nervous System Balance is a collaborative workshop created by three experienced practitioners who share a passion for helping women navigate menopause with greater understanding, confidence and support.
Julie Wix, founder of Pause and Exhale, understands firsthand how challenging the menopause transition can be. Julie began experiencing perimenopause symptoms at just 37—much earlier than she expected. While raising a young family and working in senior leadership roles, she experienced disrupted sleep, anxiety, chronic stress, chronic pain, digestive issues and felt increasingly disconnected from her body.
That journey led her to explore the science of the nervous system, breathing and recovery. Drawing on her background in psychology, breathwork and neuroplastic pain science, Julie now delivers Breathe@work programs that help organisations build Nervous System Intelligence and manage workplace stress.
Through Pause and Exhale, she also supports women with evidence-informed menopause workshops that combine nervous system education with practical breathwork to help them better understand their changing bodies and navigate menopause with greater confidence.
Silv, founder of Breathology, is a certified holistic wellness practitioner dedicated to creating supportive spaces for deep healing and restoration. Through immersive sound healing experiences,
Silv gently guides participants into deep relaxation, helping to calm the nervous system, encourage rest, and create space for reflection and renewal. Her approach is grounded in compassion, presence, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where women can reconnect with themselves during times of change.
Colleen, founder of Fearless & Free, is a menopause coach who supports women in navigating the physical and emotional changes of menopause with knowledge and confidence.
With a Bachelor of Sports Science, a Diploma in Nutrition, and ongoing studies in Advanced Menopause Coaching, she combines evidence-based insights with a compassionate, practical approach. Colleen leads an open and supportive discussion where women can ask questions, share experiences, and gain a deeper understanding of hormonal changes, cognitive health, metabolism and musculoskeletal wellbeing, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health.
Together, Julie, Silv and Colleen combine nervous system education, breathwork, sound healing and menopause coaching to create a welcoming, supportive experience that helps women better understand their changing bodies and leave feeling calmer, more connected and equipped with practical tools to support their wellbeing.
