Let’s chat about how we can make your period a smoother, more positive experience
Did you know?
In recent years, girls are starting their periods as early as 9 years old, with the average age being between 10 and 16.
Research suggests various environmental and social factors might contribute to this earlier menstruation trend.
Our passion is to normalise periods for girls and help them have pain-free periods and positive experience.
Rather than seeing periods as a burden, we want them to be celebrated as a natural sign that our bodies are working as they should.

Self-Help Tips During Your Period
Stay warm and avoid cold exposure. Keep your feet and lower back warm.
Eat warm, nourishing foods and drinks.
Use a heat pack or hot water bottle over your womb area.
Give yourself permission to rest and slow down during the first few days of your period. It will make the rest of your menstrual cycle easier.

We see many women in our clinic of all ages who have had unpleasant experiences with their periods since their teenage years,
often dealing with painful and heavy periods since their first menstrual period.
Many were prescribed hormonal medications like
The Pill as a solution, only to realise years later that it was a band-aid
and did not address the underlying hormonal imbalances.
Our approach provides a holistic and comprehensive support system that treats the underlying imbalances
and root causes, promoting overall wellbeing. If you or someone you know is navigating the challenges of teenage periods,
remember that help is available. At Embrace Acupuncture, we’re here to guide you through a smoother, more positive experience.
