What is Holistic Menopause Support?
Menopause is not just a hormonal shift, it's a sacred transformation. For many women, it can feel overwhelming, misunderstood, or even dismissed. And yet it doesn't have to be that way.
Holistic menopause support offers an alternative to the clinical, one-size-fits-all approach. It honours your body, emotions, spirit, and story, treating menopause not as a problem to fix, but as a rite of passage to be respected.
In this blog, I’ll gently walk you through what holistic menopause support looks like, how it feels, and why it matters.
It’s More Than Hot Flushes
Menopause isn’t just a medical event, it’s a midlife awakening. You might be feeling:
Emotionally raw or unexpectedly weepy
Disconnected from your sense of purpose or voice
Exhausted beyond explanation
Ready to release old roles and reclaim yourself
These are not symptoms to be silenced, they are invitations to go deeper.
My Approach: Grounded, Soulful, Science-Informed
After 37 years as a therapist and coach, I’ve woven together a gentle but powerful framework to guide women through this time. My approach is:
1. Aromatherapy + Essential Oils
Plant wisdom can be a profound ally. I use essential oils to support:
Hormonal regulation (like clary sage or geranium)
Emotional steadiness (like frankincense, neroli, rose)
Sleep, libido, and stress
Each oil has an archetypal energy, a voice of its own, which can mirror your inner transformation.
2. Reflexology & the Body’s Wisdom
Reflexology offers physical relief from symptoms like:
Anxiety and overwhelm
Insomnia
Digestive discomfort
Mood swings
It also invites you back into your body, especially when you’ve been living in your head.
3. Nervous System Healing
Midlife can resurface old trauma, hidden stress patterns, or burnout. We explore;
The vagus nerve and polyvagal theory
Gentle somatic tools
Recovery for women with autoimmunity or adrenal fatigue
This part is about creating inner safety—not pushing through.
4. Archetypes & Menopause as Initiation
You are not your story. You are evolving.
I work with 4 core archetypes that honour each phase of menopause:
The Story Keeper (Reflect)
The Wild Woman (Release)
The Alchemist (Reclaim)
The Sovereign (Renew)
These offer a soulful lens to understand your emotional, physical, and spiritual journey.
🌕 You Deserve Support That Sees the Whole You
Holistic menopause support isn’t about fixing you, it’s about coming home to yourself. Whether you’re feeling lost, exhausted, curious or ready… this path meets you where you are.
