On World Menopause Day, discover how our women’s health specialists can help support you through this transitional period, tailoring treatment to your specific symptoms.
Every woman’s experience of the menopause is unique. Symptoms can be many and varied, or focused and few – from hot flushes, and itchy skin through to disturbed sleep and lethargy.
It can feel like your body is out of your control; natural therapies can provide a perfect way to help you take back some of that control.

Shamanic Healing with Marina Sala
Menopause is a threshold. Perimenopause invites you to listen deeply to your womb, your ovaries, your body and your spirit and to ask:
- Who am I now?
- What do I actually want?
- What am I ready to let go of?
- What wants to emerge?
Marina’s Menopause Support sessions offer spirit-guided, trauma-aware Shamanic Healing. They are designed to help you to:
- Release old patterns, grief and trauma
- Reclaim lost parts of yourself and your power
- Find your voice and strengthen boundaries
- Navigate changing relationships
- Honour the wisdom of your body and cycle.
Old grief, fear, shame and roles that no longer serve you may surface. Sometimes the womb finds her roar; rage, boundaries and the unsaid reveal a new voice, one that knows what is true.
Menopause can hold grief, but also freedom, wisdom, humour and unexpected gifts.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine with Jill Glover
Menopause can be a time when you feel as if you are being taken away from yourself – acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can give you strength, and help you become grounded again.
Jill Glover‘s 6 steps to a smoother menopause
- Stop coffee and chocolate – yes, even the best dark chocolate, as it is too heating and stimulating for you right now
- Stop alcohol, or reduce to one or two nights per week – alcohol is heating and will interfere with your Liver energy, causing more emotional ups and downs, insomnia and night sweats; white wine is less heating than red
- Increase dark green vegetables – they are cooling in nature, and will nourish your blood
- Increase protein, to further nourish your blood – you will feel more emotionally robust
- Reduce sugar, which will in turn reduce adrenalin, and reduce hot flushes
- Take up Yoga or Pilates, as both forms of exercise will sustain your energy
