The conventional view of the menopause is that it is a disease that needs to be treated. By replacing the ‘lost’ hormones, using Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in the form of pills, patches or creams, the medical profession believes it offers one simple answer to the problems women face. But natural methods are available, including homeopathy, naturopathy, diet and Chinese medicine.

Our program is a multifaceted one which address all aspects of a woman’s body- physical, mental and emotional.

Psychotherapy: As women, we are faced with a myriad of responsibilities and pressures that impact our ability to be connected with others and to maintain personal balance and health. Engaging in counseling will provide you with the tools needed to better understand and fulfill your emotional needs. This insight and increased use of adaptive coping skills will lead you back to your natural state of balance and health.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Although the scholars that originated acupuncture did not know what a hormone was they certainly knew the signs and symptoms of an imbalance. Regulating the menstrual cycle or treating the imbalances associated with menopause have basic treatment principles in Traditional Chinese Medicine that are incredibly effective.
Homeopathy can assist the body with natural hormone balance. Homeopathy is safe and effective, especially when used in conjunction with lifestyle and dietary changes, in the treatment of hot flushes, mood-swings, menopausal headaches and a host of other troublesome symptoms.
