PMS and Menstrual Health
If your periods leave you exhausted, emotional, overwhelmed, in pain, or feeling unlike yourself every month, you are not imagining it - and you do not just have to “push through.”
So many women grow up believing that painful periods, severe PMS, headaches, bloating, mood swings, or irregular cycles are simply part of being a woman. But when your cycle is affecting your daily life, your relationships, your work, or your wellbeing, your body may be asking for support.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine look at the bigger picture of what is happening in your body. Rather than only focusing on symptoms, treatment is tailored to you as an individual - your cycle, your stress levels, your energy, your sleep, your emotions, and your overall health.
Stress, emotional strain, poor sleep, overwork, and constantly running on empty can all affect your hormonal balance and nervous system. Acupuncture aims to gently support your body back toward greater balance and regulation, while also giving you space to slow down and breathe a little.
Many women come for support with:
-
Painful periods
-
PMS and PMT
-
Heavy, irregular, or absent periods
-
Headaches or breast tenderness linked to the menstrual cycle
-
Endometriosis
-
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
-
Emotional ups and downs connected to hormonal changes
Often, women tell us they not only feel physically better, but calmer, more emotionally steady, and more connected to themselves again.
You deserve support. And you deserve to feel well in your own body.
Perimenopause and Menopause Support
Perimenopause and menopause can feel surprisingly intense. One minute you are coping, and the next you are lying awake at 3am, overheating, anxious, exhausted, emotional, forgetful, or simply not feeling like yourself anymore.
For many women, this stage arrives with very little preparation or support. You may find yourself wondering why your body suddenly feels different, why your emotions feel closer to the surface, or why the things you used to manage easily suddenly feel harder.
Acupuncture offers a gentle and supportive way to help your body through these changes. Treatments are tailored to you and your symptoms, while also supporting your nervous system, energy, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
Women often seek support for:
-
Hot flushes and night sweats
-
Poor sleep and fatigue
-
Anxiety, irritability, or mood changes
-
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
-
Headaches and tension
-
Stress and emotional overwhelm
-
Feeling depleted, flat, or out of balance
Alongside acupuncture, we may also talk about simple lifestyle changes, rest, stress support, and ways to help you feel more grounded and supported during this transition.
This is not “just something you have to survive.” Your body is moving through a major shift, and you deserve care,
understanding, and support along the way.
If you would like gentle, professional support through perimenopause or menopause, you are warmly welcome to book an appointment.
Fertility Support and Acupuncture
Trying to conceive can be one of the most emotionally demanding experiences you go through. The hope, the waiting, the disappointment, the constant thinking about timing, hormones, appointments, results, and “what ifs” can become completely consuming.
Whether you are trying naturally, preparing for IVF, in the middle of fertility treatment, or simply starting to explore your options, it helps to have support that looks after you as a whole person - not just a diagnosis or a cycle chart.
Many people choose to use acupuncture alongside Western medical treatment as part of their fertility journey. Research into acupuncture and fertility is still growing, and while studies show mixed results, some research suggests acupuncture may support certain aspects of fertility treatment, particularly during IVF.
What many people notice most, though, is the sense of support, grounding, and regulation they feel during a time that can otherwise feel stressful and emotionally exhausting.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, treatments are tailored to you as an individual. Acupuncture may help support overall wellbeing, menstrual health, stress reduction, sleep, energy levels, and your body’s natural balance. Many women also find it supportive alongside IVF and fertility medication, particularly in helping them cope with stress and some treatment side effects.
This is not about false promises or pressure. Fertility journeys can be deeply personal and complex, and we understand how vulnerable this time can feel.
Our aim is to offer you calm, compassionate support and a space where your body, emotions, and wellbeing are all cared for with gentleness and respect.
Alongside treatment, we may also discuss simple lifestyle, rest, nutrition, and wellbeing support to help you feel more supported through the process.
You do not have to carry all of this stress alone.

Pregnancy, Birth Support, and Induction
Pregnancy can be beautiful and exciting - but it can also be physically demanding, emotional, uncomfortable, and sometimes overwhelming.
Your body is changing constantly, your hormones are shifting, and there is often a lot to carry mentally and emotionally too.
Many women choose acupuncture during pregnancy as a gentle way to support their wellbeing, ease discomfort, and create more balance and calm in the body during this important time.
Treatments are always adapted specifically for pregnancy and tailored to what you are experiencing physically and emotionally at each stage.
Acupuncture is commonly used to support relaxation, sleep, nervous system regulation, and general wellbeing throughout pregnancy.
Women often seek support for:
-
Nausea and morning sickness
-
Fatigue and low energy
-
Back pain, pelvic pain, and physical tension
-
Headaches
-
Stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
-
Sleep difficulties
-
Swelling and circulation support
-
Preparation for labour and birth
As you move closer to birth, acupuncture is also often used as part of birth preparation. Pre-birth treatments may help support relaxation, encourage the body’s natural readiness for labour, and help you feel more grounded and supported as delivery approaches.
Some women also choose acupuncture for induction support when they are overdue or hoping to encourage labour naturally. While no treatment can guarantee labour will begin, acupuncture may help encourage the body’s natural processes in a gentle and supportive way.
Above all, pregnancy care should help you feel safe, supported, and cared for - not just medically, but emotionally too.
Whether you are newly pregnant, nearing birth, or looking for extra support during this season of life, you are warmly welcome to book an appointment.
