PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE SLEEP QUALITY

Are you reaching out because you’ve been elbowed in bed, or because your partner has embarrassed you with ‘snore shaming’? That’s really mortifying we know!  All our patients are assessed,  by Jacqueline Pascarl, OAM, HOSM, MasHA one of our practice partners. Certified in Menopause Health and Sleep Issues, she is an Emergency Military  Medic, Psycho Trauma Counsellor and Lactation Expert. Plus, she has actually gone through menopause and offers a lot of insight and can uncover other trigger factors with her years of experience internationally in women's health.

For example, women have increased levels of snoring with menopause. Hormonal changes can often be a trigger for snoring to come to the fore, and it can be a real source of exhaustion and embarrassment as well. 'Change of Life' need not equate to constant fatigue and depression - eliminate snoring and the modern mature woman has a better quality of life and energy levels.

Cardiac Issues are also more prevalent in women who snore following menopause.

Perhaps you are experiencing pain from TMD / TMJ? Some patients have recently repartnered, and are shocked to learn they are snoring. Maybe weekends away with friends are difficult because snoring makes sharing a room on holiday difficult? Menopause can also trigger snoring & sleep disorders. The levels of oestrogen begin to fall during perimenopause, increasing a woman's risk of stroke, osteoporosis and snoring. Did you ever think that waking up isn't just due to hot flushes, but because you have developed a sleep disorder due to menopause? 

Our relaxing Quiet Rooms allow calm consultations and in-depth discussions and treatment in a spa atmosphere.  We take the time to really understand the demands of your busy life and work / family balance. We are no longer on the scrapheap post menopause, women work longer, lead, and contribute to society well into maturity, so good quality sleep is vital building block to success.

Come and have a proper, unrushed consultation, tailored to your personal needs.

Our Practice Partner, Jacqueline, views this area of holistic treatment as a special interest; as well, she has been through surgical menopause and is always happy to share her expertise and insight as an emergency medic. She has worked in a Fistula hospital in Ethiopia, run refugee camps in war zones, and responded to emergency and natural disasters. She was National Vice Chair of the Australian Defence Force and sits on a number of medical boards and humanitarian agencies. In other words, she understands how important it is to have energy and not be swamped by menopause. She holds an Order of Australia and several other medals for her humanitarian work around the globe.

Menopause or Perimenopause can throw up a lot of issues for women which need true clinical understanding, insight and experience in the treatment sphere. Often, hormonal changes can really change our sleep patterns and trigger insomnia, snoring and hot flashes which make sleep elusive. But it doesn't need to be something to be endured. We have a lot of answers, just ask!
