Menopause

Specialty

According to ancient Chinese wisdom found in The Spiritual Pivot, a woman’s life journey unfolds in cycles of 7. From the age 7 through 49, childhood to post reproductive age, our genetic expression unfolds.

Age 7

Height of Kiddom

A pivotal stage in childhood development

Age 14

Menarche

Approximate age of menstruation onset for most individuals

Age 21

Fertility Solidification

Age when fertility becomes more established

Age 28

Maturing Into Strong Adults

A period of continued growth and development

Age 35

Transition to Post-Fertile Era

Recognized in both Western and Chinese medicine as the start of the transformation from fertility to post-fertile years

Age 42

Onset of Perimenopause

As The Spiritual Pivot tells us, by 42, you might notice shifts in your menstrual patterns, embarking on perimenopause and marking the transition from the fertile years towards the Cessation of Menses

Age 49

Cessation of Menses

Some women stop menstruating well before age 49 and others continue well into their 50's. Menopause is officially declared by the Western tradition as one year without a period. This gradual process is akin to adolescence, both stages of growth take years to move through. Physical, emotional and spiritual processes may take years for the body to make a full transition.

A Holistic Approach to Menopausal Challenges

Unlike Western medicine’s symptom-based approach to menopause, the Chinese philosophy is rooted in supporting the body’s natural transition through the stages of life. Dr. Rozenn invites you to embrace menopause with a fresh perspective, challenging cultural norms. Menopause is a natural stage of life. This shift does not have to be a decline, rather this transition can facilitate self discovery and renewal.

Through the modalities of acupuncture, herbal formulas, dietary tweaks, and lifestyle shifts – the East Asian medical perspective can offer you the relief you are seeking.

“Having suffered from chronic insomnia for eight years and tried many, many avenues of help, I would like to thank and counting-sheepcompliment Dr Maureen Rozenn (Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Santa Cruz) for having used her knowledge and skills to cure me of this debilitating problem. She gently guided me through Eastern medicine’s idea of treating insomnia through understanding better digestion and lowering stress. Within a week of her treatments I was sleeping six to eight hours nightly. I feel a different person and would like those who also suffer from insomnia to know about this course of action. Thank you, Dr Rozenn!”
