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
