Perimenopause & Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause can be very different experiences from one person to another.
For some, changes are relatively straightforward. For others, they can affect many areas of everyday life.
And sometimes it can simply feel difficult to work out what belongs to menopause, what belongs to everything else happening in life, and where to begin.
At Hummingbird, we begin with you.
What to Expect
Your first appointment gives us time to talk about what you have been experiencing, your general health and wellbeing, relevant medical care or medication, and what you would like from your time at Hummingbird.
Where appropriate, I may use the Greene Climacteric Scale as part of your consultation and review.
It provides a structured way for us to look at your experience, notice what matters to you and review changes over time. It is not used to diagnose menopause or any medical condition.
The Living Apothecary
Where appropriate, clinical aromatherapy and elements of The Living Apothecary may form part of your Hummingbird experience.
Scent, essential oils and personalised preparations are considered in relation to you and your individual circumstances rather than using one standard approach for menopause.
PATHWAYS OF CHANGE
Pathways of Change offers a more structured way to explore your wellbeing through perimenopause and menopause.
It creates space to consider the wider picture — how you are feeling, what is changing and what matters to you — with your experience shaped around you.
ROOTED IN CHANGE
Rooted in Change brings together reflection, botanicals, learning and connection, offering another way to explore this stage of life through Hummingbird.
