Peri / Menopause
Understand what’s changing and why. We’ll work with you on symptom management and treatment options to help you feel like yourself again.
Perimenopause
Menopause is a time of profound change, affecting not only your physical health but also your emotional wellbeing.
Perimenopause refers to the time from when your menstrual periods start changing, or menopausal symptoms start, to one year after your final menstrual period (menopause).
The average age of menopause in Australia is 51-52 and is associated with a range of intense and uncomfortable physical and emotional symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, brain fog, incontinence and weight gain. This clinic is for you if you have been through menopause in the last 10 years and want to know what you can do to alleviate symptoms and proactively manage your health to optimise your ability to age with enthusiasm.

Group Classes
Menopause Nutrition
This 60-minute workshop explores the role nutrition may play in supporting women through perimenopause and menopause. We’ll unpack the science behind hormonal shifts, metabolism, muscle loss, bone health and blood sugar regulation, and translate it into practical, sustainable strategies you can apply immediately. This session focuses on protecting long term health and reducing symptom burden, not restrictive dieting or unrealistic promises. You’ll leave with clear, evidence informed guidance and a practical take-home resource to support your confidence and wellbeing through this transition.
Menopause Matters
In this class, we explore all things menopause!
We’ll unpack perimenopause and menopause, the role of hormones, common symptoms, and the changes that can affect your body and mind.
Topics include genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), pelvic floor health, sexual wellbeing, bladder and bowel health, bone health, mental wellbeing, nutrition, and evidence-based treatment options.
Whether you’re navigating these changes yourself or supporting someone who is, this workshop will provide practical knowledge, helpful strategies, and the confidence to make informed decisions, adopt lifestyle changes to help alleviate symptoms, and proactively manage your health for a healthier, happier future.
Mindset for Menopause
This 60-minute workshop is designed to support you in creating time for yourself to reflect and develop a renewed sense of direction to navigate the transition to menopause. This workshop explores the emotional and mental wellbeing challenges that can arise during menopause, along with practical ways to support your wellbeing. Participants will be guided through an exercise to tune into their values and reflect on ways to create a more values-driven life. We will also explore the various roles that women play in their lives and discuss strategies to support you to communicate more effectively, strengthen relationships and create a healthier, happier home environment.
Art Therapy
Guided art therapy groups offer a healing space for women navigating peri/menopause. Groups will explore creative expression, mindfulness, flow state of mind and will nurture a deeper mind-body connection and self-awareness.
A multidisciplinary approach ensures we holistically review:
- Medical management options
- Mental health support
- Nutrition considerations
