Standing by the ocean at dusk recently, I was reminded how rhythms in nature are never completely constant. Tides shift, waves change, and the energy of the water moves differently from one day to the next.
Our bodies move through seasons too.
Lately, both personally and in clinic, I’ve been reflecting on how many women begin to notice changes during the perimenopause transition. Energy can feel less predictable, sleep may shift, stress can feel harder to buffer, and emotions sometimes arrive in waves that don’t always make sense.
It can feel confusing, especially for those of us used to managing everything well and suddenly sensing that our resilience has changed.
Perimenopause isn’t a sign the body is failing. It’s a transition that asks for a different relationship with energy, rest, and self-support. While symptoms are real, this phase can also mark a shift toward deeper awareness, clearer priorities, and a new kind of strength.
With the right support, the body can find steadiness again, even as the tides change.
I’ll be sharing more soon about perimenopause and how acupuncture may help support women through this phase 🧡
