Menopause Support and Therapies in Merseyside

Menopause

As clinical therapists we help woman negotiate a therapeutic intervention of complementary therapies and natural solutions to empower and motivate to help them flourish through this time of change. Our lead Therapist Jane has personally flown through her menopause with the help of aromatherapy and reflexology, she's very keen to help others work through what she found to be helpful.

How Can Complimentary Therapies Help With Menopause?

The most known symptoms such as hot flushes, sleeping problems, mood swings, joint and muscle pain, depression and forgetfulness are referred to as ‘climacteric’ commonly called menopause. These symptoms (sometimes many more) are associated as a direct result of changes in the pituitary and adrenal glands. This affects the way your oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol (our stress hormone) are stimulated and released. Our body tries to establish balance and normally our bodies are experts at adapting to all sorts of physiological change. Sometimes, it needs a helping hand and complementary therapies are well placed to give that to help re-establish homeostasis.

The biochemical process that occurs during menopause started happening in puberty and depending on the person is more dramatic for some. Complementary therapies can help perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms with a more natural approach. HRT is often very effective, and we will work alongside conventional medicine quite happily. This is not to replace, but to complement and sometimes a more indirect and holistic approach may help.

So How?

Massage is recognised for its stress relieving and relaxing effects so as an intervention can support fewer hot flushes, insomnia, fatigue and anxiety by reducing the cortisol levels. Rebalance through soft tissue release, manipulation, joint articulation and facia and muscle strengthen techniques.

Reflexology works various pressure points on the feet, hands, face and ears so has a therapeutic effect on different organs and tissues and helps with the lymphatic system to release toxins.

Aromatherapy is an excellent way to balance hormones and aid relaxation to name just a few of the positive effects of this amazing treatment.

So How Do We Work With You?

Hummingbird Holistics offer a free consultation to see if we can support you. We cannot diagnose but can work with other healthcare professionals or independent specialists depending on your needs. We can also make referrals to other professionals if your needs are outside our scope of practice.
