Reflexology for Menopause
Every woman's menopause experience is unique to them. The menopause is a natural change in the female reproductive system that normally occurs between the ages of 41 and 55, although perimenopausal symptoms may occur earlier. This stage of life is when fundamental physiological changes occur, together with a range of physical and emotional symptoms that can often cause fear and concern. The menopause is a time of transition and regeneration, it does not have to be a negative phase. With positive lifestyle, dietary and nutritional choices, it can be an opportunity for transformation and growth. Supporting the journey with reflexology can help balance the hormones, alleviate stress and restore harmony to the mind and body.
Reflexology offers a natural way to regulate your body during the menopause. It can be very effective in relieving some of the most common menopausal symptoms; fatigue, sleep disruption, hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety and low mood. It also reduces stress which exacerbates menopausal symptoms and it is safe to use alongside HRT. Reflexology's holistic approach can support a woman through her personal journey of menopause, providing a safe space in which to relax and be self focused.

Together with research based advice, lifestyle recommendations and self care tips, it can support women naturally through perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, helping them feel themselves again!
