Whether you’re in pre-, peri-, or post-menopause, your hormones are shifting and your body feels it. Massage is a natural way to support your physical and emotional well-being through every stage.





Pre-Menopause (your 30s–40s)

Your hormones may still be cycling regularly, but stress, PMS, and early hormone dips can sneak in.

Massage can:

✅ Ease PMS (bloating, cramps, mood swings)

✅ Lower cortisol & reduce stress

✅ Improve circulation & menstrual regularity

✅ Boost energy & sleep quality


Peri-Menopause (can start mid–40s and last up to 10 years!)

Hormones fluctuate wildly here — cue hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety, sleep issues, and joint pain.

Massage helps you:

✅Calm the nervous system to reduce anxiety & irritability

✅ Ease joint pain, stiffness & muscle tension

✅ Reduce headaches & hot flashes

✅ Support hormone balance through stress reduction


Post Menopause (12+ months without a period)

Estrogen has dropped and aging signs are more visible — but your wellness doesn’t stop here.

Massage continues to:

✅ Improve circulation, keeping skin & tissues healthy

✅ Support mobility & reduce chronic pain

✅ Enhance lymphatic flow for detox & swelling

✅ Promote deep sleep & emotional balance
