Acupuncture: A Holistic Option for Hormonal and Emotional Wellbeing

Acupuncture is a gentle, natural therapy that can complement medical treatment or stand alone as a supportive option. Many women find it helpful for:

Menopause symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats
Stress, anxiety, and mood changes
Sleep difficulties
PMS and menstrual discomfort
Headaches and migraines4
Musculoskeletal pain

Emma is trained in medical acupuncture and uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body. Treatments are tailored to your symptoms and comfort level, offering a calming, restorative experience.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Personalised Support Through Menopause

Menopause and perimenopause can bring a mix of symptoms - some expected, some surprising. Hot flushes, mood changes, sleep disruption, brain fog, joint pain, and changes in libido are just a few of the challenges many women face.

Emma offers:

Comprehensive menopause assessments to understand your symptoms, medical history, and goals
Guidance on HRT options, including patches, gels, tablets, and body‑identical hormones
Ongoing monitoring and adjustments to ensure your treatment remains safe and effective
Support for women who cannot or prefer not to use HRT, including lifestyle strategies and alternative therapies

Her focus is on helping you feel like yourself again - energised, balanced, and in control.
