Anxiety in perimenopause can take you by surprise. Sometimes it’s brand new: you’ve never been an anxious person before, and you might not even know what’s happening. Or maybe anxiety has been part of your life for a long time, but all of a sudden you’re in your 40s or 50s and it’s much worse.
Midlife anxiety can also come and go, following the rollercoaster of your shifting hormones, and that makes it hard to get a handle on it. Coping with anxiety while you’re also dealing with the rest of perimenopause, parenting, your busy life, and being a human in this complicated world can feel really, really overwhelming.
I work with anxiety in perimenopause using treatments personalized to you and your individual experience. Acupuncture and East Asian medicine (including herbal/supplement suggestions and very simple nervous system supports) help stabilize your nervous system and the hormonal flux so you can get your smile back.
