Dr. Paulette Roscoe to Lecture in Support of Women’s Centre


Nanaimo—Naturopathic physician, educator and writer Dr. Paulette Roscoe is sharing her knowledge with local women in support of the Nanaimo Women’s Centre. On Wednesday, Feb. 21, Dr. Roscoe will offer Menopause Naturally, the first in a series of naturopathic lectures related to women’s health. Proceeds from this lecture will be donated to the Nanaimo Women’s Centre.

In many cultures in the world, women do not experience bothersome menopausal symptoms. This workshop for both pre-menopausal and menopausal women offers information on nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle suggestions which will help prepare women for a natural, healthy and positive menopause.

Based on the belief that healing of the body, mind and spirit are needed for optimal health, Dr. Roscoe’s therapeutic approach includes lifestyle assessment, nutritional and botanical medicine, and counselling.

All women are welcome at Menopause Naturally, from 7 to 9pm Feb. 21 at the Maffeo Auditorium, Community Services Building, 285 Prideaux Street. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door.

For more information or to buy tickets, contact the Nanaimo Women’s Centre at 285 Selby Street, 753-0633.

Dr. Roscoe’s next lecture, Surviving PMS, is scheduled for April 18. This lecture will also be a fundraiser for the Nanaimo Women’s Centre.
