The Menopause Hub

perimenopause and menopausal support

Natural Menopause Support

I decided to create a hub to bring all my years of experience and skills into one place to support those who are suffering from the bio-psycho-emotional challenges of the menopausal transition. With a background of Chinese Medicine, Bodywork & Movement, Five Elements Philosophy and Emotional Health Support, I offer practices and services that are intentional for women experiencing difficulties and challenges with the aging process and the phases of menopause.

The Emotional Body of Menopause

Symptoms of the menopause tend to start sooner than you think, either it be the slow shifts in mood, cycles or repetitive symptoms such as migraines or palpitations. I was treated by an excellent herbalist for a repetitive symptom myself and was surprised by how long I had been unwell for or rather how long had been experiencing the perimenopause. Acknowledging the start of your menopause transition can feel like a relief, if not a little trepidatious.

There are many books, blogs and podcasts that give great information in supporting the physical symptoms and experience of the menopause, with science and studies, names of hormonal fluctuations and natural or prescribed remedies that can help. This new world of knowledge was good for gathering information but not great for what I was feeling.

Emotional Menopause Support

As a healthcare professional, I was surprised at how unaware I was of what to expect and subsequently experienced at the beginning of my menopausal process. I was also shocked at the lack of information, on the emotional challenges that arise during this time. Very few publications and people are talking about this phase of life and how it affects a woman to her very core.

The menopausal transition is not just about the physical conditions such as hot flushes, brain fog and insomnia but really is about the emotional weight of aging and entering into a new phase of life. As women in our society we tend to be valued and relevant for our youthful looks and our fertility.

Aging can feel as though it accelerates during this transition with changes to our weight, hair and skin, We often don’t speak of the bare truth of the fear, shame, resistance and the feeling that we are utterly out of control of our aging bodies.

Between the ages of 45 to 55 most menstruating women will enter into their menopausal process, a metamorphosis of sorts. This is a reckoning that will see the lifting of the oestrogenic veil and a death of her much familiar identification of the woman she is supposed to be, to the awakening of her unique, essence. This is a rocky ride for most, so below I have provided and will keep providing as much information as possible about the bio-psycho-emotional challenges of menopause and many free practices and of course if needed further support with paid services.

  • These sessions with Sarah are simply life-changing. I was new to acupuncture so I didn't really know what to expect. The five element way of practice is so much more than just the needles. Sarah is a truly gifted practitioner whose kind and empathetic nature makes you feel completely at ease. I've never been to see a health-related professional of any type who offers the one-to-one and complete focus which she does

  • From my first experience of acupuncture, I instantly felt relieved from the many symptoms of menopause, hot flashes, rosacea, weight gain, anxiety and fog brain. Without realising, Sarah coaches you into taking back control of your body and mind whilst reminding you, you should be valued and appreciated in all aspects of life.

  • Sarah has a talent for asking the right questions and getting to the crux of a problem. I now feel less overwhelmed with life and my physical ailments have a either gone or are much reduced. I feel so much better after my appointments with Sarah and she has given me tools to maintain this balance between and beyond our sessions.
