The Menopause Sessions,
Melbourne.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our exclusive 1:1 treatment sessions, meticulously designed to support women through the profound journey of menopause. Our innovative approach brings together two practitioners, Shae Elise Allen and Sprios Antoniades, combining the deep wisdom of somatic coaching with the ancient healing practice of acupuncture, offering a holistic and transformative experience.
Embrace the 7 Transformational Stages of Menopause with Expert Guidance
Menopause is a natural and powerful phase in a woman’s life, marked by significant physical, emotional, and spiritual changes. Our specialised sessions focus on the 7 transformational stages of menopause, guiding you through each stage with compassion, expertise, and personalised care.
What to Expect in Our Sessions
Somatic Coaching: Our sessions delve into the connection between body, mind, and spirit. Through somatic coaching, Shae supports you explore and release emotional blockages, fostering a deeper connection to your energetic heart and body. This process empowers you to embrace your inner wisdom and navigate menopause with grace and resilience.
Acupuncture: Complementing somatic coaching, acupuncture provides a time-honored method to balance your body’s energy, alleviate symptoms, and promote overall well-being. Spiros works alongside this process, tailoring the treatment to your unique needs in response to the somatic coaching, bringing balance to menopausal hormonal shifts and ensuring a deep and restorative experience.
How we Work
The sessions begin with identifying where in the midlife transformational stages you are uniquely positioned. This is assessed through our intake form where you provide responses to a number of questions about the experience of your menopause transition. Perhaps you would like to begin at Stage 1 and work your way through the 7 transformational stages over 7 sessions. Alternatively we can begin the at a stage you most strongly identify. Each session is a unique experience that is intuitively guided using a multidisciplinary framework involving tailored somatic processes and coaching, acupunture and sound healing. The session is a constant healing refinement as the transformation unfolds. Both practitioners are hands on throughout the session.
