Women in Woolen Sweaters

The Empowered Women's Circle

Dr. Hansen's personal invitation:

  • EWC is a Circle that welcomes and celebrates women for their wholeness, authenticity, bigness, brilliance and beauty (even when women may need help seeing this through the eyes of other women)

  • There are many communities but only ONE led by an Obstetrician & Gynecologist who understands women's deepest intimate desires and shares resources and results

  • Dr. Hansen warmly invites you into her inner circle where conversations and connections create the space for honest answers about topics that no one wants to discuss but everyone needs to know

  •  Learn about ways to strength your body, calm your mind, soothe your soul and, ultimately, attune to your body's wisdom

  • A woman's body is her gateway to wholistic health, hormone balance, deeper personal intuitive knowing and a wellspring of energy, pleasure and joy - ALL sourced from within

EWC in 2024

Honoring the Rhythms and Cycles of Life

Starting January 18, 2024

Thursday evenings twice/month -  6:30pmCT / 7:30pmET

“We can relax and relate to life with faithful knowing that if we cease to act, life itself will not cease, it may, in fact, grow full” - Sarah Blondin

You are so busy - why join now? 

  • Women don't need more to do - we need to do things differently

  • You can do anything - but you can't do everything

  • Being empowered means knowing yourself well enough that you live fiercely-focused on what matters most (and bold enough to say 'no')

  • Your creativity, innovation and productivity are all tied to your health

  • Burnout and stress related diseases are on the rise for women and are directly related happiness, life-satisfaction, relationship intimacy and your sense of joy and fulfillment at work and home

  • Your health and happiness are in your hands! (And you'll have a doctor to guide your steps)

  • Yours is a very personal journey, your story is your own - but you can't do it all alone

  • The Empowered Women's Circle is a community of women leaning in, lifting up and learning to love life in all it's imperfection

Unlike other communities, the Empowered Women's Circle doesn't start and stop.

Our intent is not to instill FOMO but to remain truly open to the yearnings, desires and needs of women.

Our membership is monthly and you can come and go as you please.

There is never any pressure to share or stay. 

Our Leadership measures success by the women who gather with us and find their lives enriched by our community connections, high-value resources, tangible practices and embodied experiences.

As your co-facilitators, we learn as much as you do through the catalyzing conversations that naturally take place in our carefully curated Circle.
