• Pam Sumner – Acupuncture
  The menopause is a time of physical and emotional change; often coinciding with other considerable midlife changes which may also impact on general health and wellbeing. Acupuncture works to help maintain the body’s equilibrium and in certain instances, it can be an effective therapy to help restore balance and promote physical and emotional harmony. Acupuncture may be used to help clients with various menopausal symptoms. The conclusions of a recently published research study were that acupuncture contributed to a reduction in hot flushes and increased health-related quality of life.
