Hot Flushes · Night Sweats · Sleep · Mood · Fatigue · Brain Fog
This transition deserves real support — not just managing through it
Perimenopause and menopause can arrive with surprising force. One day you're coping, and then suddenly you're lying awake overheating at 2am, or finding yourself tearful in the middle of a meeting, or struggling to remember a word you use every day. The changes can feel disorienting — not just physically but in a deeper sense of self.
Many women arrive at this stage with very little preparation and not nearly enough support. The cultural conversation is slowly catching up — but for many, the day-to-day reality is still one of pushing through, alone.
Acupuncture offers a gentle, whole-person approach to this transition. Treatment is tailored to your specific symptoms and the overall pattern of how your body is responding to hormonal change. The aim is not to stop the process but to support your body through it — with more ease, more steadiness, and more comfort.

"I was having hot flushes every hour and sleeping terribly. A friend suggested I try acupuncture. I was sceptical but desperate. After six sessions the flushes had reduced by more than half and I was sleeping through the night. Shaul is calm, unhurried and genuinely knowledgeable. I'm so glad I went."
