Wellness Center: Wellness Programs: Female Health and Balancing

Female Health and Balancing Program

This program is designed to support you as you transition through the many cycles of life. At each stage we can help you to feel your best allowing you to maintain vibrant health by showing you how to keep the balance with your hormones, emotions, creativity, intimate relationships and more.

The conventional view of the menopause is that it is a disease that needs to be treated. By replacing the ‘lost’ hormones, using Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in the form of pills, patches or creams, the medical profession believes it offers one simple answer to the problems women face. But natural methods are available, including homeopathy, naturopathy, diet and Chinese medicine.

Our program is a multifaceted one which address all aspects of a woman’s body- physical, mental and emotional.

Psychotherapy: As women, we are faced with a myriad of responsibilities and pressures that impact our ability to be connected with others and to maintain personal balance and health. Engaging in counseling will provide you with the tools needed to better understand and fulfill your emotional needs. This insight and increased use of adaptive coping skills will lead you back to your natural state of balance and health.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Although the scholars that originated acupuncture did not know what a hormone was they certainly knew the signs and symptoms of an imbalance. Regulating the menstrual cycle or treating the imbalances associated with menopause have basic treatment principles in Traditional Chinese Medicine that are incredibly effective.

Homeopathy can assist the body with natural hormone balance. Homeopathy is safe and effective, especially when used in conjunction with lifestyle and dietary changes, in the treatment of hot flushes, mood-swings, menopausal headaches and a host of other troublesome symptoms. Diet and exercise are important to incorporate into this therapy.

Our Nutritionist will help you to make the necessary changes to your diet, such as increasing foods that contain natural phyto-estrogens. If you take Vitamin E and avoid hot spicy food, you may reduce hot flushes and by drinking fewer caffeine-rich drinks, you can reduce anxiety and palpitations.

Yoga and personal training with weight-bearing exercise, such as walking or jogging, is very important for maintaining the health of your bones and swimming and yoga will maintain joint mobility. Our personal trainer will assist you with a program for flexibillty and strength.

Clinical Aromatherapy treatments in conjunction with lifestyle changes can help to balance the nerves, regulate the hormones and assist with depression and other changes associated with menopause.

Mindfulness Meditation and stress management are very useful for balance in the treatment of the menopausal woman. The breath becomes an anchor to the present moment and the intention is not to be focused, but rather to be mindful, and to be fully aware and awake of what is going on in the present moment.

Chiropractic care can be beneficial to the body as you are going through the many changes during change of life.
