Menopause & Perimenopause Support in Bath

Menopause & Perimenopause - A Personalised Approach
Perimenopause and menopause can affect every aspect of your health and wellbeing. While some women experience only mild symptoms, others find themselves struggling with sleep disruption, anxiety, low mood, hot flushes, brain fog, weight changes, joint pain, fatigue, digestive symptoms and a loss of confidence in their own body.
At AcuBath, I combine Traditional Acupuncture with Functional Medicine principles to provide a personalised approach to menopause support.
Rather than focusing on symptoms in isolation, we explore the wider picture of your health, including hormones, sleep, stress, nutrition, gut health, inflammation, lifestyle and nervous system regulation.
Whether you are considering HRT, already taking HRT, unable to take HRT, or simply looking for additional support, treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
How Acupuncture and Functional Medicine May Support Menopause
Menopause is a natural transition, but that doesn't mean you simply have to put up with symptoms.
Acupuncture has traditionally been used to support women experiencing menopausal symptoms and many women report improvements in sleep, emotional wellbeing, energy levels and hot flushes. Research has also explored acupuncture's potential role in supporting menopause-related symptoms and quality of life.
Alongside acupuncture, a Functional Medicine approach seeks to understand why symptoms may be occurring and what factors might be contributing to them.
Areas we may explore include:
• Hormone balance and hormone metabolism
• Blood sugar regulation
• Stress and cortisol patterns
• Sleep quality
• Digestive health and the gut microbiome
• Nutritional status
• Inflammation
• Lifestyle factors that may be influencing symptoms
For some women, small changes can make a significant difference. For others, a more detailed investigation may be appropriate.
The aim is not simply to manage symptoms, but to support your health and wellbeing throughout the menopause transition and beyond.
What to Expect
Your first appointment lasts approximately 90 minutes and includes a detailed health consultation.
We'll discuss your current symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, sleep, stress levels, nutrition, energy, digestion and any previous investigations or treatments.
Following this assessment, I will create a personalised treatment plan which may include:
• Acupuncture
• Lifestyle recommendations
• Nutritional guidance
• Functional Medicine principles
• Supplement recommendations where appropriate
• Additional testing if clinically useful
Testing is not always necessary. In many cases, a thorough health history provides valuable insights into potential underlying imbalances. Where further investigation may be beneficial, options such as blood testing or stool analysis can be discussed.
Treatment plans are designed around your individual goals and symptoms rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
