Qualitative study of phenomenological approach, accomplished from women's testimony aged between 58 and 55, who had presented spontaneous menopause over the last 12 months or more. The results evidenced five thematic categories that were analyzed and interpreted under the light of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's philosophical theoretical referral. Among the categories that have emerged from the testimonies, the unveiled theme "Make yourself aware of the world through your body in space and time" will be presented with the objective of stimulating the reflection on existential aspects of experiencing this reproductive cycle phase and make considerations on the climacteric woman health care.
