Embracing the Natural Power and Wisdom of Menopause

The Rise of the Enchantress

by Anneriek Favelle

A modern menopause guide that blends medical research with somatic wisdom — and reclaims the woman menopause was supposed to silence.

About The Book

For too long, menopause has been treated as a condition to manage or endure—a collection of symptoms signalling decline. The Rise of the Enchantress offers something different: menopause as a natural, transformative life passage with the potential for profound growth and renewal.

Drawing on her professional background in Somatic Movement and Dance Therapy, as well as her own menopausal journey, the author weaves cutting-edge research with practical guidance and lived experience to address the physical, psychological, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of this significant transition. From evidence-based nutritional and movement approaches to psychological insights and relationship guidance, it offers a holistic framework for not just surviving menopause—but thriving through it.

Discover how cultures around the world honour this passage, how patriarchal narratives have shaped our understanding of female aging, and how you can reclaim this threshold as a meaningful developmental journey. Meet the emerging Enchantress archetype: an empowering model for post-reproductive womanhood beyond the tired stereotypes of invisibility and decline.

This book doesn't deny the real challenges of hormonal change. It offers compassionate, practical guidance while illuminating the deeper significance of what's unfolding.

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. 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.

Therapist, Author, and Sense-maker

Anneriek Favelle is a therapist, author, and perpetual sense-maker. Born in the Netherlands, she landed in Australia after the sudden loss of a dear friend shook her awake to the truth that life is too short to play it safe. She has an almost compulsive need to create structure out of chaos. Give her a tangle of therapeutic frameworks, the swirling complexity of human relationships, or a life transition that feels overwhelming — and she won't rest until she's organised it into something clear, practical, and usable. Writing is how she thinks — how she processes what she's learning and translates the profound into the practical. Her books span the territories she knows intimately: grief and self-discovery after loss, the messy work of relationships, helping boys grow into the men they actually want to be, and the transformation that comes when women reclaim their power. Each one exists because she couldn't find what she needed on the shelf — so she researched and wrote it. Today, Anneriek lives in Sydney with her husband and their two sons — both of whom unknowingly contributed to the writing of Secrets of the Round Table. She runs Inner Growth Therapy, where she works with individuals and couples. She is a certified Level 3 Relational Life Therapist and a Level 2 Internal Family Systems therapist, with additional qualifications in Counselling, Somatic and Dance Movement Therapy, Yoga, and Meditation.
