Women’s bodies are beautifully complex and move through constant change – no two journeys are the same. Hormonal health is shaped not only by biology, but by the many transitions and experiences that make up a woman’s life. Whether you are menstruating regularly, navigating fertility decisions, living without periods, moving through perimenopause or menopause, or simply noticing that something feels out of balance, I will meet you where you are.
From the first menstrual cycle through to later life, hormones influence physical health, emotional wellbeing, energy and the feeling of resilience. When this delicate balance is disrupted, symptoms can build quietly, often leaving women feeling unheard or unsure of where to turn.
Acupuncture offers a gentle, individualised way to support women’s health at every stage. Rather than suppressing symptoms, it works to restore balance within the body in place of or alongside Western Medicine – supporting hormonal regulation, easing discomfort, and creating space for the body to return to its natural rhythm.
What You Might Be Experiencing
You may be experiencing:
- Irregular, painful or absent periods
- PMS or PMDD, including mood changes and physical discomfort
- Hormonal imbalance affecting energy, sleep or mood
- Conditions such as PCOS or endometriosis
- Cycle-related pain, bloating or fatigue
- Perimenopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, anxiety or sleep disruption
- Menopausal changes affecting mood, energy or wellbeing
How Acupuncture May Help
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), women’s health is closely linked to the balance of Blood, Qi, and the Kidney, Liver and Spleen channels.
Acupuncture works gently to regulate the menstrual cycle, support ovulation, ease pain and inflammation, and calm the nervous system.
Modern research also supports acupuncture’s role in managing hormonal symptoms, particularly around menstrual health and the menopause, making it a valuable and supportive complement to Western Medicine. As an special area of interest, I have done further training in Women’s Health under the guidance of renowned and experienced acupuncturists Paul Johnson and Hannah Pearn.
What a Treatment Plan Looks Like
Your first appointment includes a detailed conversation about your menstruation, symptoms, health history and current concerns. Treatments are carefully tailored to you and often follow the rhythm of your menstrual cycle where appropriate.
Sessions usually begin weekly or fortnightly, with frequency adjusted as symptoms improve. Alongside acupuncture, I offer lifestyle guidance to support hormonal health in a sustainable, realistic way.
Who This Approach Tends to Help
Acupuncture for women’s health is particularly supportive for those who:
- Experience ongoing menstrual or hormonal symptoms
- Have been diagnosed with PCOS or endometriosis
- Are navigating perimenopause or menopause
- Feel that symptoms are affecting mood, sleep or daily life
- Want a natural, holistic approach alongside Western medicine
From My Perspective
Women’s health has long been an area where symptoms are underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, normalised or overlooked. I am absolutely passionate by the topic as I regularly see the relief that comes when women feel truly listened to and supported. Acupuncture allows us to work gently but deeply, addressing both physical symptoms and the emotional experience that often accompanies hormonal change.
My aim is always to create a calm, respectful space where your body’s signals are taken seriously and care is tailored to you as an individual.
