The Midlife Series: Busting Menopause Myths

Did you know there are over 30 signs of menopause? Did you also know that peri-menopause begins for most in our early forties and can last for anything up to 10 years!

You’ve probably heard jokes about hot flushes but may not know that brain fog, anxiety, headaches, joint pains, heart palpitations and itchy skin are also common signs of menopause.

Come join Ali Masterman, local Menopause Yoga certified teacher and Dr Sue Dickie, local GP who has a special interest in women's health and currently volunteers at the specialist menopause clinic at The Whittington Hospital.

Between us we want to bust some myths and help people get the best experience of this time of life. It doesn’t have to be doom and gloom it can be an exciting and invigorating time. Make your Second Spring your best time of life.

The workshop will be a small intimate group to enable us to share our stories comfortably within a safe space (only if you want to no-one will be forced to share), Q&A with both Sue and Ali then some gentle and relaxing yoga and meditative breathwork.

Our intention is to educate, embrace and empower you. You will leave with information sheets that will help with this transition. Plus a wonderful goodie bag curated from small like minded businesses.

Alison and Sue's Offering on - next dates to be announced.

What the blazes! 

This UK summer has been hotter than most of us can remember. Some of us are loving it. Others are counting the days until it's cooler. 

Why are we all so different? 

According to Chinese Medicine, we all have our own unique balance of Yin and Yang. So while one person might thrive in a hot, energetic summer, someone else may find it completely depleting. 

If Yin and Yang have always sounded a bit mystical, here's a quick look. 

⭕ Yin - Feminine = Still, Cooling, Nourishing, Receptive, Moistening, Interior 

⭕ Yang - Masculine = Moving, Warming, Transforming, Active, Drying, Exterior
 
This summer has been incredibly Yang. 

While that can feel energising, too much Yang can make it harder to slow down, switch off and truly rest. 

You may have noticed more: 

⭕️ Tired but wired
⭕️ Restless sleep or insomnia
⭕️ Headaches or migraines
⭕ Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed
⭕️ Irritability or a short fuse
⭕️ Neck and shoulder tension
⭕️ Hot flushes or menopausal symptoms flaring
 
Acupuncture helps restore balance by nourishing Yin and calming your nervous system. Better still, you get permission to lie down, close your eyes while Sophie or Sunila work with your body's underlying patterns, giving you the chance for a deep rest and reset. 

Our next Acupuncture Collective is on 17 August, just a few days after the spectacular solar eclipse. Whether you're into lunar cycles or not, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, reset and head into late summer feeling more balanced. 

We'd love to see you there.
 
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 17th August.
