This is not just treatment; it’s a transformational path for women in menopause and perimenopause. Through Qigong, fascia-based touch, and deep presence, I help you listen to your body’s messages—not silence them.

Menopause is often described as unpredictable — sleep changes, hot flushes, mood swings, brain fog, and fatigue can leave you wondering what’s happening to your body. From a Chinese medicine perspective, this isn’t a breakdown but a natural transition. Qigong, an ancient movement and breath practice, offers a way to work with these shifts instead of against them. Through gentle movements and conscious breathing, Qigong helps ease emotional surges, settle restless sleep, cool inner heat, rebuild energy, and bring you back into connection with your body. Regular practice can feel like medicine in motion — nourishing, restorative, and deeply supportive through perimenopause and beyond. If you’ve been searching for a natural way to soften symptoms and reconnect with yourself, Qigong offers a powerful yet gentle path forward.

Menopause is not a single moment, but a gradual transition that unfolds in three stages: pre-menopause, perimenopause, and post-menopause. Many women experience symptoms such as hot flushes, disrupted sleep, anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, and changes in weight or libido. These shifts can feel overwhelming, yet they also carry an opportunity to listen more deeply to what the body is asking for. This blog explores what actually happens during the menopausal transition, with insight from Chinese medicine and Qigong. You’ll learn about the most common perimenopause symptoms, why they appear, and how to work with them using natural approaches that support your whole self. With gentle practices, awareness, and tailored guidance, this life stage can become a time of renewal and self-understanding. If you’ve been wondering what’s happening in your body, you’ll find clarity, reassurance, and practical tools here.
