The Perimenopausal Symptom Inventory

A free gentle check-in with your changing body — and the first step toward desire that belongs to you.

The Perimenopausal Symptom Inventory

Perimenopause arrives without asking. The body shifts — hot flashes, palpitations, brain fog, tension held low in the pelvis, a libido that moves differently than it used to — and the story handed to women and non-binary people in midlife, both intentional and ignored, is almost always one of loss and decline. Erotic Intelligence tells a different one. These are not signs that desire is disappearing. They are signs the nervous system is reorganizing. This is a transition to move through with tenderness, not a deficit to be medicated away.

This free perimenopause symptom check-in is a slow, private self-assessment across nine areas of lived experience — sleep, mood, energy, cycle, body, mind, pleasure, presence, and connection. It looks at what most quizzes skip: how the perimenopausal transition is shaping your desire, your intimacy, and your relationship with your own body. There are no wrong answers, only information your body is offering. It takes about five minutes, and your answers stay private.

From your responses comes a personalized sample Erotic Intelligence Coaching plan — a first map of what your body is asking to tend, drawn from the somatic, breath, herbal-nourishment, and erotic-intelligence practices at the heart of the work at Erospirituality Centre. This is holistic, body-centered perimenopause support created by and for women navigating this passage with dignity — queer and non-queer Black women, healers, and survivors especially welcome.
