Menopause symptoms taking over your life?

Peri-menopause and menopause mark important transitions in a woman’s life, often bringing a variety of physical and emotional changes. Symptoms such as hot flashes, mood fluctuations, disrupted sleep, and shifts in skin health or energy levels are common. Although these changes are a natural part of aging, they can sometimes feel challenging. 
​
But there’s good news - Chinese Medicine offers solutions. Through Qigong, Shiatsu and diet, you can ease those intense symptoms and find balance again.
​
The Root Cause: Kidney Energy Imbalances
​In Chinese Medicine, the heart is seen as the emperor, but it’s the kidneys that fuel its function. When your Kidney energy is depleted - especially during menopause, when hormones are fluctuating - the heart can go into overdrive, resulting in those feelings of panic, palpitations and sleep disturbances. Strengthening your Kidney energy can bring a sense of calm and stability back into your life.

How do we do this?
​By incorporating foods that nourish the Kidneys, like seaweed, walnuts, and black beans, and practicing Qigong exercises that balance the Kidney and Heart energies.

Cooling and Restoring Balance
Kidney energy is associated with Yin — the cooling, restorative energy that calms the heat of Yang activity. If you’re dealing with hot flashes, anxiety, or exhaustion, it could mean your Kidney Yin is depleted. Strengthening your Yin energy helps balance out the heat and restore your body’s internal harmony.

Benefits of Shiatsu for Menopause:

• Reducing Hot Flashes & Night Sweats – Shiatsu helps regulate internal heat and promote circulation. 
• Easing Anxiety & Mood Swings – Pressure points on the body encourage relaxation and emotional stability. 
• Improving Sleep Quality – Shiatsu calms the nervous system and relieves tension. 
• Boosting Energy & Vitality – By balancing Qi (Energy), Shiatsu restores strength and combats fatigue. 
• Supporting Hormonal Balance – Gentle stimulation of meridians can enhances the body’s natural equilibrium

My Menopause Programme

A Holistic and Personalised Approach
Every woman’s experience with perimenopause and menopause is unique, which is why my Shiatsu sessions are fully tailored to your needs. Whether you’re dealing with stress, sleep disturbances, or physical discomfort, I create a personalised treatment plan to support your well-being.

​If you choose Shiatsu for menopause support, consistency matters more than intensity. It depends on how disruptive your symptoms are.

🌿 Mild Symptoms (occasional hot flashes, slight sleep issues)

• Every 3–4 weeks
• Goal: maintenance and nervous system regulation
• This keeps stress from accumulating

🌿 Moderate Symptoms (frequent hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings)

• Every 1–2 weeks for 6–8 weeks, then reassess
• You’re looking to stabilise the nervous system and sleep cycle
• Once things improve, taper to every 3–4 weeks

🌿 Severe Symptoms (night sweats, strong anxiety, significant fatigue)

• Weekly for 4–6 weeks
• Combine with medical oversight
• After improvement, move to biweekly

You don’t need forever-treatment. You need momentum, then maintenance.
