Perimenopause and menopause can turn life upside down: broken sleep, hot flushes, anxiety you’ve never felt before, and the sense of not quite being yourself.
I’ve been through perimenopause and menopause myself, so I understand how exhausting and unsettling it can be.
From my calm garden clinic in Bricket Wood, near St Albans, Radlett and Watford, I offer gentle, personalised acupuncture to help you feel more like you again.
This is one of the most common things women tell me. Hormone changes, night sweats and a busy mind can all wake you in the early hours, and then sleep just won’t come back. Acupuncture is deeply relaxing, and many of my patients tell me they sleep better and feel calmer during a course of treatment.
Acupuncture isn’t instead of medical care. Many of my patients use it alongside HRT, while others come to me because HRT isn’t suitable for them or they’d like to try other support first. I always encourage you to talk to your GP or menopause specialist, and I’m happy to work alongside them.
Several studies suggest acupuncture can help with hot flushes, sleep and wellbeing during menopause. Research is still developing and results vary from person to person. That’s why I treat every woman individually and review progress with you as we go.
My approach is to help bring your body back into balance, calm your nervous system and support better sleep. Research into acupuncture for menopause symptoms, especially hot flushes, is growing. Many of my patients tell me they feel calmer, sleep better and find their symptoms easier to live with.
Absolutely. Acupuncture works happily alongside HRT and other medication. I'll always ask what you're taking at your first appointment.
It's one of the most common things I hear. I've written a whole blog post on it: Why Do I Keep Waking Up at 3am During Perimenopause?
Most women come weekly to begin with. A typical course is six to twelve sessions, then we space treatments out as you feel better.
My peaceful garden clinic is in Bricket Wood, with easy parking. It’s a short drive from St Albans, Radlett, Watford, Bushey, Park Street and London Colney.
