Why the mace, why now

As estrogen drops, we lose muscle and bone faster. Strength training is the best-supported way to push back, at any age. The steel mace makes a light weight feel challenging, so you build real strength without heavy loads on your joints.

  • Grip strength, a key marker of healthy aging
  • Bone-friendly loading from many directions
  • A deep core that works through rotation
  • Balance and coordination to stay steady
  • Shoulders that keep moving through full circles

It's for you if you're in perimenopause, menopause or beyond and want to feel strong again. Total beginners welcome.

Shirlee Williams holding a steel mace

Hi, I'm Shirlee

I'm 56, and I've been teaching yoga and mentoring women for 25 years. When menopause arrived, it hit me hard: hot flashes, autoimmune issues, and a body that suddenly felt like a stranger. The practices that had always carried me weren't enough anymore. I needed strength.

So I went looking. I trained as a strength and mobility coach, earned my Menopause Coaching Specialist certification with Girls Gone Strong, and found Steel Mace Vinyasa, the method created by Summer Huntington. Flowing with the mace changed everything. I felt strong, mobile and at home in my body again.

These practices were created for me, for my body after menopause. Now I coach women in midlife who are ready to feel that too. Mace and Menopause is where you start.
