When Perimenopause Begins to Disrupt Your Life
Perimenopause can feel unpredictable, overwhelming and deeply unsettling, especially when the changes start suddenly or hit harder than you expected. Many women feel unprepared for just how disruptive this stage can be.

Common perimenopause symptoms include:
-
Heavy periods, large clots or flooding
-
Shorter, longer or irregular cycles
-
Night sweats or hot flushes
-
Anxiety, irritability or feeling “on edge”
-
Poor sleep, frequent waking, restless nights
-
Mood swings or emotional sensitivity
-
Bloating, nausea or digestive changes
-
Sudden weight gain, especially around the abdomen
-
Brain fog, forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating
-
Breast tenderness, headaches or migraines
-
Increased period pain or changes in cramps
-
Fatigue, low energy or feeling “wired but tired”
-
Mid-cycle spotting or unpredictable ovulation
These symptoms are common, but they are not something you have to just put up with.
Why These Symptoms Happen in Perimenopause
These changes can be driven by:
-
Lower baseline progesterone → worse PMS, anxiety, poor sleep
-
Oestrogen spikes and drops → heavy bleeding, mood swings, breast tenderness
-
HPA axis and stress response changes → overwhelm, irritability, sensory sensitivity
-
Changes in metabolism and insulin sensitivity → weight gain
-
Gut microbiome shifts → bloating, digestive changes
-
Thyroid vulnerability during hormonal transitions
-
Inflammation making symptoms more intense
Understanding the “why” behind the symptoms helps us create a targeted plan that supports your body through this transition.
My Approach to Perimenopause Support
Personalised & Adaptable
Perimenopause doesn’t follow a straight line. Your treatment plan evolves with you, focusing on what you need most right now.
Realistic, Achievable Strategies
No restrictive diets. No “perfect” routines. We focus on nutritional foundations, practical lifestyle changes and symptom relief that fits your real life.
Works Alongside your Medical Care
If you’re considering HRT, taking antidepressants, thyroid medication or are under specialist care, that’s completely fine.
Naturopathy integrates alongside these for better support.
Clear, Compassionate Education
You’ll learn what’s happening hormonally and why perimenopause affects mood, sleep, energy and bleeding patterns. Clarity reduces the fear and overwhelm.
Supplements Used Thoughtfully
When targeted properly, these can make a significant difference to mood, sleep, bleeding, cycle regularity and stress resilience, without unnecessary long-term use.
Functional Testing when Helpful
We may consider hormone metabolites, iron studies, thyroid testing or microbiome analysis depending on your symptoms but these are always optional, never required.

We explore your symptoms, health history, hormone patterns, gut function, stress load, diet and lifestyle.
We create a realistic, evidence based plan that feels do-able for you. If testing would be helpful, we'll discuss your options.
We identify the factors driving your symptoms and discuss your goals and priorities.
We map out the next steps, then check in regularly to refine your plan, track improvements and make adjustments as needed.
