Menopause massage

The approach I have trained in, incorporates Swedish massage techniques, and acupressure point stimulation. I am a qualified and expert Aromatherapist, so in addition to this, I can blend specific aromatherapy oils which will help women to find serenity and flourish during perimenopause and menopause. I am also trained in cryotherapy (cold stone therapy) so my serenity menopause therapeutic massage includes a cold stone facial massage with rose quartz crystal and marble. You can also choose an aromatherapy facial massage.

Overall, Swedish massage, Acupressure, Aromatherapy and Cryotherapy (cold stones) will reduce stress and bring a sense of peace and serenity to the nervous system, balance hormones, improve sleep, ease aches and pains, treat common symptoms and enhance your emotional well-being.

 

Hormone balancing for physical and emotional wellbeing

Acupressure point stimulation can help with hormone imbalances which cause irregular cycles and other changes to the reproductive system. Massage therapy reduces the body’s stress hormone, cortisol. Which helps reduce anxiety, irritability, and mood swings, which can be common during menopause and perimenopause. Massage increases serotonin and dopamine levels, which promotes peace, calm, emotional stability, and overall well-being. Massage stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps the body to relax; slowing heart rate and reducing blood pressure while promoting relaxation. The additional use of Aromatherapy oils will enhance the hormone regulation, physiological affects on pulse and blood pressure and reduce anxiety. Cold stone and Rose Quartz facial massage therapy can also improve alertness and mental well-being, supporting overall cognitive function.

Improving sleep

Insomnia and disrupted sleep can be experienced duringperi-menopause and menopause. Regular therapeutic massage therapy can improve sleep quality, reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, andsupport deeper, more restorative sleep. As a result of reducing stress hormones and releasing endorphins, which help regulate the sleep-wake cycle.  

Relief from hot flushes and itchiness

Massage and acupressure can help reduce the intensity and frequency of hot flushes by enhancing circulation and promoting balance in the nervous system. There are specific acupressure points that will help withhot flushes, that will be stimulated during a serenity menopause therapeutic massage, which can balance thermoregulation. Histamine increases during menopause can cause itchiness, which can be soothed with Aromatherapy oils and/or a cryotherapy (cold stone) facial massage.

Muscle and joint pain

Decreased oestrogen during peri-menopause and menopause can cause joint stiffness, muscle aches, and lower back pain. Massage therapy improves blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and increases flexibility, which can alleviate discomfort and enhance mobility. Some women can experience oedema(swelling) and lymphatic drainage can help. Swedish massage, enhanced with Aromatherapy oils, can target areas most affected by menopause to give immediate release and long-term benefits.
