Women often come to me because they’re tired of feeling “not quite right”. Acupuncture helps by looking at the whole picture — hormones, nervous system, digestion, stress and energy levels.

Here’s how it can help:

• Regulates menstrual cycles
  Supports regularity, eases pain, smooths mood changes and helps your cycle feel more balanced.

• Reduces PMS and PMT symptoms
  Including irritability, bloating, headaches, fatigue, breast tenderness and emotional swings.

• Supports fertility and pre-conception health
  Encourages healthy ovulation, improves blood flow to the uterus and reduces the stress that often comes with trying to conceive.

• Helps with perimenopause and menopause
  Hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety, brain fog, sleep issues and low mood can all improve with acupuncture.

• Eases pain and inflammation
  Especially for conditions like endometriosis, fibroids and painful periods.

• Supports emotional wellbeing
  Many women describe feeling calmer, lighter and more grounded after a few sessions.

Acupuncture works best when we look at the whole story, not just one symptom.

FAQs - Women's Health & Acupuncture

​

​Does acupuncture help hormone balance?

Yes — acupuncture is widely used to support the endocrine system, nervous system and menstrual cycle rhythm.

Can it help if I've struggled for years?

Absolutely. Many of the women I see have long-term issues like painful periods, PMT or perimenopausal symptoms.

Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?

Yes, when carried out by a trained acupuncturist. I use specific points that are safe and supportive.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on what’s going on. Hormones run in cycles, so it often takes a few weeks to notice full changes.

Will I need to lie still for long?

Most treatments involve resting for around 20–30 minutes. It’s usually very relaxing.
