Natural support to help you feel like yourself again 

The transition into perimenopause and menopause is a natural phase of life, yet it can come with challenging physical and emotional symptoms. Acupuncture offers a holistic and effective approach to supporting women during this time, helping to ease symptoms, balance hormones, and enhance overall well-being.

How Acupuncture Supports Perimenopause and Menopause

Acupuncture works by regulating the body’s energy flow (Qi) and stimulating the nervous and endocrine systems to restore balance. It addresses the root causes of hormonal fluctuations, providing relief from common symptoms and promoting vitality during this life stage.

Here are some key ways acupuncture can help:

• Hot Flushes and Night Sweats: By calming the nervous system and improving thermoregulation, acupuncture can reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flushes and night sweats 

• Mood Swings and Anxiety: Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins and balances neurotransmitters, helping to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and alleviate feelings of irritability or depression

• Sleep Disturbances: Poor sleep is a common complaint during menopause. Acupuncture promotes relaxation and supports better sleep quality by addressing underlying imbalances

• Fatigue and Low Energy: Acupuncture enhances blood flow, supports adrenal function, and boosts energy levels to combat fatigue and restore vitality.

• Hormonal Balancing: By stimulating the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, acupuncture helps regulate hormone levels and ease the transition through menopause

• Joint Pain and Stiffness: Acupuncture’s anti-inflammatory effects can alleviate joint pain, stiffness, and other musculoskeletal discomforts associated with menopause

• Weight Management and Metabolism: Acupuncture supports a healthy metabolism and can assist with managing weight changes often experienced during menopause

What to Expect from Treatment

During your initial consultation, we will discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, and overall health to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Acupuncture sessions are designed to provide both immediate relief and long-term balance. Many patients notice improvements in symptoms within a few sessions, while regular treatments can support sustained well-being throughout this transition.

In addition to acupuncture, I may offer dietary and lifestyle recommendations to complement your treatment and address specific menopausal challenges.
