Pause to Unpause
Women’s Wellness Evening:
Gut Health in Midlife & Beyond
Tuesday 18th November,
7:00pm-8:30pm
Woollahra Sailing Club
Join us for an evening of insight, calm, and connection - this time focusing on gut health in midlife.
As estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause, many women notice changes in digestion, food tolerance, energy, and mood. A key factor is the gut microbiome - the trillions of bacteria that influence hormones, immunity, weight, and emotional wellbeing. Together, we’ll explore how gut health shifts in midlife, and how diet and lifestyle choices can support digestion, energy, and overall wellbeing.
Guest Speaker:
Emma Ellice-Flint
Emma Ellice-Flint is a qualified nutritionist, nutritional therapist, and experienced chef. She has worked alongside Dr. Louise Newson, one of the UK’s leading menopause specialists, and is passionate about helping women use nutrition to support hormone health, gut function, and overall wellbeing.
Emma will share practical insights on:
How estrogen shifts impact your digestion and gut bacteria
Key signs your gut needs support in midlife
The role of food and fibre in restoring balance
Why poor gut health impacts weight in midlife, and what you can do about it
Why gut health affects mood, sleep, and resilience
Understanding new food intolerances in menopause
Which supplements and probiotics are worth considering
Janey Vi

& Sound Practitioner
We’ll begin the evening with a transformative Sound Bath led by Janey Vi, a qualified Yoga and Meditation Teacher and Sound Practitioner. She offers Sound Bath Meditation experiences using Tibetan gongs, crystal singing bowls, and exotic percussion to guide participants into deep relaxation that calms the mind and nurtures the spirit. Janey currently leads sound bath journeys across Sydney, creating a safe space for inner reflection, healing, and renewal.
