ACUPUNCTURE & REFLEXOLOGY IN WOKINGHAM
Menopause & Perimenopause Support
Whether you're struggling with hot flushes, poor sleep, anxiety, low mood, brain fog or simply don't feel like yourself anymore, acupuncture and reflexology offer a gentle, holistic approach to supporting you through perimenopause and menopause.
Every woman's experience is different, which is why treatment is always tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle and overall wellbeing.
Support better sleep
Many women find sleep becomes lighter and more disrupted during perimenopause and menopause. Reflexology and acupuncture encourage deep relaxation, helping calm the nervous system and support more restful sleep.
Ease stress, anxiety & brain fog
Hormonal changes can affect mood just as much as physical health. Treatment provides time for your body to slow down, helping reduce stress and encourage emotional balance.
Aches and pains
Joint stiffness, muscular tension and headaches become increasingly common during menopause. Acupuncture and reflexology may help ease physical discomfort while encouraging relaxation throughout the body.
Hot flushes and night sweats
Many women choose acupuncture and reflexology as part of a holistic approach to managing hot flushes and night sweats. By supporting relaxation and overall wellbeing, treatment may help reduce the impact these symptoms have on daily life.
What Are Acupuncture and Reflexology?
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into carefully selected points on the body. Modern research suggests acupuncture may influence the nervous system, stimulate the release of natural pain relieving chemicals and help regulate the body's stress response. Many women choose acupuncture during menopause to support sleep, mood, energy and overall wellbeing.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a gentle therapy involving pressure applied to specific reflex points on the feet. These points are believed to correspond with different systems throughout the body through the nervous system.
The aim isn't simply to treat the feet. Reflexology encourages deep relaxation, supports the nervous system and promotes the body's own healing processes. Many women find it provides a valuable opportunity to unwind while supporting their overall wellbeing.
Combining acupuncture and reflexology for menopause
Acupuncture and reflexology complement one another beautifully.
While acupuncture works through carefully selected points across the body, reflexology focuses on the feet to encourage relaxation and support the nervous system. Together, they create a holistic treatment that addresses both physical symptoms and emotional wellbeing.
Depending on your symptoms, Verity may recommend acupuncture, reflexology or a combination of both during your treatment plan.
