Natural Relief for Menopausal Symptoms
Menopause is a natural biological process which signifies the end of menstruation. It can come with a range of symptoms, including things like hot flashes, varying mood swings, sleep disturbances, changes in libido, and much more.
The transition can be challenging for some women. It signals the end of a stage of life and the birth of a new cycle. Rather than feeling excited, it can make it hard to recognise ourselves. The process throws our bodies into flux, meaning it can be hard to feel like ourselves and know what menopause is and what isn't.

Luckily, acupuncture has been used for centuries to support our health. More recently, fertility acupuncture has become increasingly popular because of the research that backs its success. Not only is it proven by research to have better outcomes, but we see it in the clinic every week in terms of successes and how much better patients feel in themselves.
Common Symptoms We See
Menopause can feel tricky because there are so many different ways it can appear in our lives. On top of this, if you seek help, often every symptom is said to be because of menopause, so it is hard to cope.
Often I see things like:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Mood changes with increased anxiety and low mood
- Sleep is often affected by things like insomnia
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Joint pains and body aches
There are over 100 potential symptoms, so this is a short list that reflects some of the more common ones we see in the clinic.

In a simple way, acupuncturists see menopause as a decline of our kidney essence, which is entirely natural. The treatments are designed to ease the transition rather than trying to fight a naturally occurring phenomenon.
Hence, we are constantly working on our kidney energy, but we also look at:
- Regulating hormones through supporting the endocrine system
- Easing hot flushes and night sweats by balancing our body
- Improving sleep and energy levels
- Addresses musculoskeletal pain linked to hormonal changes
Sometimes, it feels like menopause depends on how complex your life has been and to what extent you have dealt with issues as they've arisen. Hence, a lot of the work is guiding you through this transition.
What to Expect
A compassionate and holistic approach to menopause. This isn't about taking HRT but understanding your unique health situation. We go into your medical history, including physical and emotional aspects. It's not about treating a symptom but supporting you as a human being.
The sessions are long, up to an hour and a half, and they are about giving you the space and time to get everything that you need from me.
Most women report feeling better immediately, including calmer, sleeping better, having fewer hot flashes, and more. But the most important part is helping you transition to feeling normal and finding yourself again.

What to Expect During Your Treatments
Deep consultations explore your fertility journey, including your menstrual history, lifestyle factors, and everyday life. It’s often in the small details, in how you perceive your fertility health, that can improve your success rates and ensure you are getting the best guidance.
Holistic assessments help us examine your overall wellbeing, stress levels, diet, and other health factors. This allows us to create tailored treatment plans, depending on whether you suffer from digestive issues or mental health issues, to ensure you are getting unique treatments based on your personal situation. We are making you the best version of yourself and optimising your fertility chances.
Every treatment is different. We often use a series of 4-10 needles to support your fertility and general health, with treatments differing from one session to the next. It's about utilising the full range of over 365 points to tailor each treatment depending on how you are feeling and where you are in your cycle.
Many patients notice better cycle regularity, reduced stress, and greater balance and wellbeing within the first few sessions. Promising results show this, and it isn't just the fantastic feedback we receive from patients.
