Perimenopause & Menopause

Supporting Your Hormonal Transition Naturally

The perimenopause and menopause are powerful life transitions — not simply the end of fertility, but a natural hormonal shift that affects every part of a woman’s body and wellbeing.


As oestrogen, progesterone, and other hormones begin to fluctuate and eventually decline, it’s common to experience physical, emotional, and metabolic changes that can feel unsettling or overwhelming.

​

As a Naturopath and Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist, I take a holistic and functional medicine approach to support women through this transition — helping you understand what’s happening in your body, ease symptoms naturally, and restore balance, energy, and confidence.

​

Menopause is not a loss of vitality — it’s an opportunity to rebalance, restore, and reconnect with your health.

 

Common Symptoms of Perimenopause & Menopause

Hormonal fluctuations can affect every system in the body. You may experience:

  • Irregular or absent periods

  • Hot flushes and night sweats

  • Sleep disturbances or insomnia

  • Weight gain or changes in body composition

  • Fatigue or low motivation

  • Mood swings, anxiety, or low mood

  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

  • Vaginal dryness or discomfort

  • Low libido

  • Joint aches or muscle pain

  • Thinning hair or dry skin

  • Digestive changes or bloating

  • Blood sugar fluctuations

  • Increased urinary infections or thrush

​

These symptoms are not “just part of getting older” — they are signs your body needs care, nourishment, and hormonal support

Working with Claire

Rather than focusing solely on hormones, I look at how the whole body adapts during this time, including digestion, thyroid, adrenal & nervous system function. When one system is under pressure, it can amplify menopausal symptoms & make it harder for your body to maintain balance. Through a naturopathic appraoches, we focus on areas such as :

  • Blood sugar and energy balance – to stabilise mood and reduce fatigue.

  • Liver and detoxification support – to help clear used hormones and improve metabolism.

  • Gut and microbiome health – essential for oestrogen clearance and inflammation balance.

  • Adrenal and nervous system support – to manage stress, anxiety, and sleep.

  • Bone and heart health – supporting long-term wellbeing through key nutrients and lifestyle choices.

  • Diet and lifestyle adjustments – to optimise your nutrition, sleep, and overall resilience.

 

Menopause can be a time of renewal — with the right support, your body can adapt and thrive.

​

Working With Claire

Every woman’s experience of menopause is different. I work with you to understand your personal symptoms, health history, and lifestyle so we can create a plan that’s tailored to your body’s needs. Your plan may include:

  • Personalised nutrition to balance hormones, manage weight, and reduce inflammation.

  • Targeted supplementation to support energy, mood, and bone health.

  • Stress and nervous system support to calm anxiety and improve sleep.

  • Lifestyle and exercise recommendations to maintain vitality and balance.

  • Natural remedies such as herbal medicine, Bach Flowers, or tissue salts to support emotional wellbeing.

​

This is about rediscovering what helps you feel strong, balanced, and vibrant — inside and out.

"After a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and perimenopause I was looking for a way to manage the symptoms I am experiencing naturally rather than through a reliance of pain killers. Claire has helped me so much with my journey after just a few months the cluster headaches I was experiencing have practically disappeared, my energy levels have increased and I feel once again that I am able to cope with life.  My journey is still ongoing but I have only positive results from the changes I have made so far.  Claire is so professional and knowledgeable she really cares."

Functional Medicine Testing

Functional medicine testing helps identify what’s driving your hormonal imbalance, offering clarity and precision in your plan. Depending on your picture, I may recommend some of these options should they help deepen our journey:

  • DUTCH Hormone Test – Assess oestrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and metabolites throughout your cycle.

  • FDX Functional Blood Work – Evaluate thyroid, insulin, inflammation, and liver detoxification.

  • Mira Hormone Tracking – Real-time at-home monitoring for cycle and ovulation patterns.

  • Comprehensive Stool Test – Assess gut and microbiome health, crucial for oestrogen metabolism.

  • Nutrigenomics with LIFEcode GX – Understand how your genes influence hormone production, detoxification, and nutrient metabolism to create truly personalised support.

​

Testing provides the insight we need to bring your hormones back into balance — naturally and effectively.
