In today’s episode I discuss the Menopause in relation to Nordic Walking with Catherine Pestano. Catherine is a qualified INWA Nordic Walking Instructor and runs Valley Nordic Walking. She is also a mental health social worker by training and a Rebound Therapist. Her passion is to help people who like her felt nervous about exercise and were unsure if it was for them. For far too long the menopause has been considered a taboo subject, but fortunately those outdated beliefs are disappearing. So in today’s episode, we are going to discuss the perimenopause, the menopause and how Nordic Walking can bring multiple benefits to both.
