Your Skin + Hormones
How Holistic Treatments Can Support your Hormones + Skin
When we support your hormonal health from the inside out, clients notice:
∴ Fewer flare-ups, redness and sensitivity.
∴ Smoother texture and brighter tone with reduced puffiness and fluid retention.
∴ Calmer moods and more restful sleep, with fewer hot flashes and night sweats.
∴ Renewed energy and confidence in your skin.
My Approach
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, menopause is seen as the Second Spring, and a season of renewal, not decline. My approach honours this philosophy, blending intuitive touch with evidence-based techniques to help your body find balance and your skin regain its natural vitality.
Each session invites you to find deep relaxation, steadier moods, improved sleep and a clearer, more radiant complexion. Clients often leave feeling lighter, more grounded and reconnected to themselves, a reminder that renewal is always possible.
My Hormone Balancing treatment is based on training and evidence from Jennifer Young of the Global Wellness Institute’s Hormonal Wellness Initiative, and founder of The Institute of Hormonal Health and Wellness. The treatment is informed by research from Keele Life Sciences and Birmingham University.
Hormones are your body’s natural rhythm-keepers, quietly guiding everything from your energy and mood, to how your skin feels each day. When those rhythms shift, your skin often reflects it, through breakouts, dryness, flushing, or sensitivity that seems to come from nowhere.
These changes are a natural part of your cycle, perimenopause and menopause, but that doesn’t mean that you have to live with unpredictable skin or feeling low confidence. Rather than relying on harsh skin treatments or products, my work focuses on restoring harmony within your whole system - improving circulation, soothing your nervous system and nurturing your skin barrier, so that it can repair and renew.
How Your Skin Changes During Perimenopause
During perimenopause, the stress hormone cortisol begins to play a bigger role. When cortisol remains high, skin repair slows down and inflammation rises, leading to flare-ups, puffiness, or fatigue in the complexion.
This is why nervous-system care becomes essential, and through facial massage, reflexology, and aromatherapy, we activate your parasympathetic “rest and restore” response, helping your hormones to regulate naturally, and allowing your skin repair to accelerate naturally.
When we soften the systems behind the skin; hormonal, nervous, and emotional, we invite vitality and confidence back in. This stage of life can become a reset: steadier moods, deeper rest, and a complexion that feels alive and rejuvenated.
