In the crazy times of hormonal change...why treatment matters!

This article has been written by Nicola Barnett

Menopause...it's a new chapter not the end...

There’s so much talk about menopause—perimenopause, post-menopause...along with endless advice on supplements, diets & ways to “regulate” yourself & your hormones. It can feel overwhelming. And honestly, what many of us really want during this hormonal transition is simply to be heard...to have a moment to ourselves. Not as a mum, daughter, sister or co-worker—but just as you. A moment without judgment, without unsolicited advice, just a moment to be!


This isn’t another blog offering guidance (though I have plenty) It’s about you being important & how I can support you. I’ve had children & I’m now on my own perimenopause journey, so I get it. Some days are tough. Some days, you just want to hide under the duvet, eat a big bar of chocolate, cry & shut the world out. And that’s ok!! It’s not all bad though...this is change, yes, but change is also movement & movement is natural.


So, what makes my approach different? Experience. I’m a woman who has lived through hormonal changes myself...my treatments are what I would want to receive. They give you space to relax, to chat, to sleep, to just be. There’s no pressure from the outside world. This is your time.


Every treatment is tailored to you. Every session is different because, as our bodies & hormones shift, so does our pain, our moods, our skin & our needs. I don’t follow a set plan...the plan is you.


So, what do I offer?
I provide bespoke treatments designed just for you, helping you manage the symptoms of hormonal change with knowledge, care & over 20 years experience. I know what works & how to ensure you leave my treatment room feeling just a little bit better than when you arrived.


How do I do this?

Through my own individual techniques, combining massage, tailored facials & products I’ve personally tested & selected for you.

I use Botanicals, an award-winning certified organic skincare range, Songbird massage wax, made with 100% natural ingredients. Both are crafted in England & are beautiful, high-quality products. As our skin changes with age, it can become more sensitive...but that doesn’t mean we have to compromise on feeling radiant & our best.


For me, what we put on our skin is of the utmost importance. It matters because while our hormones can feel chaotic on the inside, we can still care for the outside. Rosacea, dry skin, dull or uneven tone, increased sensitivity… these are just some of the changes we might notice. And then there’s the body: the aches, the pains, the headaches, the brain fog, the irritability...


But here’s the truth...this isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of change. ðŸ’™
