Rediscover Your Balance in (Peri)Menopause

A life phase we talk about too little, and why that is finally changing

There are phases in life that everyone goes through.
And yet, some of them remain barely spoken about.

(Peri)menopause is perhaps one of the clearest examples.

Today, millions of women worldwide move through this phase, often without clear guidance, without real recognition, and without feeling truly understood. Research shows that over 80% of women experience symptoms during this transition, ranging from fatigue and sleep issues to mood changes, hormonal imbalance, and mental fog. And yet, a large number of women never receive the right support.

Not because it doesn’t exist. But because, for a long time, it simply wasn’t a priority.

A silent reality becoming visible

For years, menopause was treated as something to “just get through”.
A phase to endure, rather than understand.

The result?

Women who no longer recognize their own bodies. Who keep searching for answers.
Who learn to cope with symptoms without ever truly understanding where they come from. And that has consequences.

Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
It affects energy, self-image, relationships, work, and overall quality of life.

Today, we see this starting to shift. There is growing attention for hormonal health, for personalized approaches, for understanding what is actually happening in the body. The science is there. The knowledge is there.

What is often still missing, is the translation.

From knowledge… to something you can feel, understand, and apply.

This is where Dr. Ilse Rayen comes in

With over 25 years of experience as a physician, Dr. Ilse Rayen has taken a remarkable path.

She began her career as a pediatrician, with a strong focus on diagnostics and a deep commitment to understanding the root cause behind symptoms. Over time, she realized that many answers cannot be found in symptom-based approaches alone.

This led her to further training in orthomolecular medicine, phytotherapy, and a more holistic approach to health.

Today, she brings these worlds together. Classical medicine, scientific grounding, and a deep respect for the body as a whole.

What makes her approach so powerful is that she does not start from “what is the problem?”, but from:

What is the body trying to tell us?

She now applies this same perspective to her work around (peri)menopause.

Guiding women to better understand what is happening in their bodies, to regain energy and clarity, and to experience this phase not as an ending, but as a transition into a new form of balance.

Why this fits perfectly with Farmatuur

At Farmatuur, we believe that real health starts with understanding. Not quick fixes. But insight.

We look for people who can bridge the gap between science and real life. Between knowledge and application. Between mind and body. Ilse is one of those people.

She doesn’t bring abstract theory. She makes complex processes understandable. She offers practical tools you can take into your daily life. Gentle. Clear. Without judgment.

An evening in The Salon

Together with Dr. Ilse Rayen, Farmatuur invites you to a warm and inspiring evening around (peri)menopause.

In an intimate and safe setting, Ilse will guide you through the physical, mental, and emotional changes that can occur during this phase of life. A phase that often raises questions, but also offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself.

Drawing from her experience as a physician and her holistic vision of health, she shares clear insights and practical ways to support your body and mind in a gentle, natural way, an accessible approach built on recognition and understanding.

After the session, there will be space to ask questions and share experiences, if you feel like it. Everything is welcome.Nothing is required.

Why you don’t want to miss this

Because this is not a standard lecture. It is a moment where something that often remains invisible is finally named. Where you don’t just receive information, but recognition.

And maybe, for the first time, a sense of: this is what’s happening and this is what I can do with it

You are welcome

Whether you are in the middle of this phase, approaching it, or simply want to understand it better, you are welcome.

To listen. To connect. To give yourself a moment of attention.
