Elisabeth Staunton TCM‍ ‍Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine for Perimenopause and Menopause

Williamstown and Essendon

The transition into perimenopause and menopause can often be a wild ride.

Fluctuating hormones and symptoms like hot flushes, mood swings, sleep disturbance, and brain fog can be tough to navigate. While menopause typically occurs in early 50s, the years leading up to it (perimenopause) can be equally challenging.

Having gone through menopause in the last couple of years, I get how there can be many emotions at play too. At times relief and a sense of freedom, at other times grief, in acknowledging a transition from one life phase to another.

As an Acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, I find it incredibly rewarding to help women during this time and assist with the many symptoms that arise.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this is an important life phase and an opportunity to re-calibrate and reset. Constitution, lifestyle, environment and state of health, can really influence how your body navigates the process. There is so much Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture has to offer for perimenopause and menopause… wherever you are at.

We all have a unique experience, therefore a targeted approach is taken and an individual treatment plan provided to address your needs.

When it comes to navigating the highs and lows of this time, I find, the more you can settle your nervous system the better. Another wonderful aspect of Acupuncture treatment is that it is so helpful in reducing stress, allowing your body to drop into ‘rest and repair mode.’
