THE RISE OF THE ENCHANTRESS is a holistic guide to help you thrive through menopause
 
"This is not a book.
It’s a portal.
A call to the woman
who’s been waiting
to break free from the cage of shoulds.
Menopause is your rebellion,
your reclamation,
your wildfire heart
burning through the myths
that tried to dim your light.
You are not fading.
You are forging a new path,
etched in stardust and sweat.
Step into these pages.
Meet the enchantress
who’s been you
all along.
Rise."
 
For too long, menopause has been treated as merely a medical condition to be managed or endured—a collection of uncomfortable symptoms signalling decline. This groundbreaking book offers a refreshingly different perspective, presenting menopause as a natural, transformative life passage with the potential for profound growth and renewal.

Written with warmth, wisdom, and evidence-based expertise, "The Rise of the Enchantress" integrates cutting-edge research with practical guidance and personal experience. The author draws on her professional background in Somatic Movement and Dance Therapy alongside her own menopausal journey to create a comprehensive resource that addresses the physical, psychological, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of this significant transition.

This book is for you if:
* You're approaching or experiencing perimenopause or menopause and seeking natural approaches
* You want to understand both the science and the deeper meaning of this life transition
* You're looking for practical strategies to manage symptoms while supporting overall well-being
* You're ready to challenge limiting cultural narratives about aging and female bodies
* You're curious about the potential for growth and transformation during this life phase

Unlike conventional menopause resources that focus exclusively on symptom management, this book explores how this transition can serve as a gateway to increased authenticity, wisdom, and power. From evidence-based nutritional and movement approaches to psychological insights and relationship guidance, it provides a holistic framework for not only surviving but also thriving through menopause.

Discover how cultures around the world view this transition differently, how the patriarchal system has shaped our understanding of female aging, and how you can reclaim this passage as a meaningful developmental journey. Learn about the emerging "Enchantress" archetype that offers an empowering model for post-reproductive womanhood beyond limited cultural stereotypes.

"The Rise of the Enchantress" doesn't deny the real challenges that can accompany hormonal changes. Instead, it offers compassionate and practical guidance while illuminating the deeper significance of this profound life transition. Whether you're just beginning to experience perimenopausal symptoms or well into your post-menopausal years, this book offers wisdom, support, and a revolutionary perspective on what it means to cross the threshold into the wisdom years of a woman's life.

In a world where teenage boys receive confusing and contradictory messages about what it means to be a man, Secrets of the Round Table offers a groundbreaking approach to understanding authentic masculinity. Drawing from Carl Jung's archetypal psychology and Robert Moore's research on masculine development, therapist and mother Anneriek Favelle presents a practical framework that helps teenage boys integrate all aspects of themselves without sacrificing strength or sensitivity.

This book introduces the revolutionary "Round Table" concept—four inner archetypes (King, Magician, Warrior, and Lover) that every young man can access to navigate life's challenges with wisdom, courage, and authenticity. Rather than forcing boys to choose between being "tough" or "soft," this approach shows them how to be both strong and emotionally intelligent, confident and vulnerable, independent and connected.

What makes this book unique:
* Research-based approach: Integrates insights from Jung's Masculine archetypes, Terry Real's work on patriarchy and masculinity, Brené Brown's research on emotional intelligence, and other evidence-based therapeutic modalities
* Practical tools: Includes exercises, real-world examples, and concrete strategies boys can use immediately
* Non-judgmental perspective: Acknowledges the challenges of growing up male in today's world without pathologising traditional masculine qualities
* Comprehensive coverage: Addresses relationships, mental health, substance use, sexuality, confidence building, and emotional intelligence

Written by a qualified therapist who specialises in Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, and Relational Life Therapy, and informed by her experience raising two teenage boys, this book fills a critical gap in resources for young men seeking authentic self-development.

Secrets of the Round Table is essential reading for teenage boys ready to discover who they really are, parents wanting to support their sons' healthy development, educators working with young men, and anyone interested in nurturing the next generation of emotionally intelligent, confident, and authentic male leaders.

Target audience: Teenage boys (ages 13-18), parents of teenage boys, educators, counsellors, and youth workers.
