Lying awake at night, restless and wide-eyed, can feel especially frustrating when you don’t know why your body isn’t cooperating. For many women, the transition into perimenopause and menopause brings unexpected changes including menopause insomnia and those dreaded 3 a.m. wakeups that make it hard to function the next day. Sleep, once effortless, suddenly feels out of reach.

Acupuncture offers a natural, time-tested way to help you sleep better, feel calmer, and get back to feeling like yourself.

Stress. Everybody’s got it. How do you manage it?

In our demanding world, having effective strategies to manage one’s stress is essential for well-being. Acupuncture is an easy, enjoyable way to relieve stress. “I feel so relaxed” is the #1 comment I hear from patients after their acupuncture treatments. When patients get referred to my clinic by doctors, often it is because they want help with reducing the symptoms of stress using acupuncture.

How does stress impact your health?
The stress response is a survival mechanism, designed to help us survive a threatening situation. Back in the days of hunting and gathering, those threats were short-lived, and the stress response came and went. In today’s world, stress tends to be chronic, and we stay in a state of high stress for long periods of time. This long-term stress is damaging to our health. The first thing that happens during any stress response is a hormone called cortisol is released from the adrenal glands into the body.

"Before I started going to the Oldershaw Clinic, I was having high anxiety and trouble sleeping. My mother passed away earlier this year and my mind and body was still trying to process it. Nicole, my acupuncturist has been a wonderful support in helping me with my anxiety and sleep. Since I’ve been seeing Nicole, my sleep has improved drastically and my anxiety has reduced. Oldershaw Clinic is a very warm, relaxing place where you leave feeling restored. I highly recommend it!"
