Women’s Health

This clinic welcomes women of all ages, from menarche through to post-menopause. 

Women’s health has long been an area of speciality within Chinese medicine and there are well-documented treatment approaches for just about every kind of imbalance you can think of.  I like to think of hormonal health as an extension of overall wellbeing; keeping hormones balanced can significantly improve quality of life.  For Chinese medicine practitioners, the menstrual cycle can give us lots of clues as to what is going on in the body.  Things that you may have become accustomed to, such as period pain, bloating, mood changes or hot flushes, are actually important signs that things are a bit out of balance.  You don’t have to live with these symptoms! 

In particular, women seek my help for conditions such as amenorrhoea, endometriosis, adenomyosis or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).  If you have test results or imaging from a Western medicine practitioner it can be helpful to bring them along so that we can work together to find the best treatment approach for you.
