Menopause

Menopause & Perimenopause Care

Menopause and the years leading up to it (perimenopause) are natural stages of life, but the physical and emotional changes that come with them can be complex and sometimes disruptive. Common concerns during this transition may include hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, mood changes, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, lowered libido, changes in body composition, skin and hair changes, and more.

At Vancouver Island Naturopathic Clinic Inc., our licensed Naturopathic Doctors have over 20 years of clinical experience supporting individuals through the menopausal transition. We provide individualized, evidence-informed care that respects your goals, preferences, and current stage of life.
