Acupuncture for Women’s Health in Brighton & Hove
Gentle, evidence-informed care for every stage of life.
From your first period to post-menopause, acupuncture can offer a natural way to support hormonal balance, emotional wellbeing, and overall vitality. At my Brighton & Hove clinic, I provide safe, personalised treatments to help you feel more in tune with your body — whatever chapter you’re in.
Women’s bodies move through many transitions — from puberty, fertility, and pregnancy to perimenopause and menopause. These changes can sometimes feel overwhelming, affecting sleep, mood, energy, and hormones.
Acupuncture offers a gentle, holistic approach that helps your body and mind find balance again. Each treatment is tailored to you, focusing on restoring flow, easing tension, and supporting your natural resilience.

How Acupuncture Can Help
Acupuncture works by encouraging the smooth circulation of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body. From a Western perspective, research suggests it can influence hormones, the nervous system, and blood flow — helping to calm the body’s stress response and support overall wellbeing.
It may help to:
-
Regulate menstrual cycles and ease period discomfort
-
Support fertility and IVF preparation
-
Promote relaxation and reduce anxiety or stress
-
Ease pregnancy-related symptoms and aid recovery
-
Support a smoother transition through perimenopause and menopause
(Treatments are always individual — we’ll focus on your specific needs and goals.

Your Treatment Experience
Each session begins with a calm, unhurried consultation to understand your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle. Treatments use ultra-fine needles and may include gentle acupressure or moxibustion.
Many women describe acupuncture as deeply relaxing — a pause in a busy week that helps restore clarity and calm.
Treatment plans vary, but a course of weekly sessions for 4–6 weeks is usually recommended initially, with top-up treatments to maintain balance.
