Perimenopause and menopause mark a profound transition in a woman’s life—a natural evolution of hormonal shifts that can impact everything from mood and metabolism to sleep, skin, and emotional well-being. At Sanctuary Wellness, we honor this sacred time by offering holistic, non-invasive therapies designed to support and empower women through every phase of the change.
This Women in Health Month, we’re spotlighting how our services can ease the physical and emotional transitions of perimenopause and menopause—helping you feel grounded, vibrant, and more in control of your wellness journey.

Understanding the Shift
Perimenopause, which can begin as early as your late 30s or early 40s, is the lead-up to menopause—a time defined by declining estrogen levels and shifting hormone patterns. You might notice:
🌀 Hot flashes and night sweats
🌀 Fatigue or brain fog
🌀 Mood swings or anxiety
🌀 Changes in weight, sleep, or libido
🌀 Joint pain and skin sensitivity
Menopause officially begins one year after your last menstrual cycle, but the changes can last years. While it’s a completely natural process, many women are surprised by how intense or unpredictable the symptoms can be… but they don’t have to be!

How Sanctuary Wellness Can Help Navigate Menopause
Our therapies are designed to rebalance, restore, and rejuvenate—providing safe and soothing alternatives to help manage symptoms and reconnect with your body.
Infrared Sauna with Chromotherapy
While it might seem counterintuitive, infrared sauna therapy has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of menopausal hot flashes. A study published in Menopause found that local thermal therapy with far-infrared rays resulted in a significant reduction of menopausal symptoms, including vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes . The gentle, penetrating heat helps regulate body temperature and supports hormonal balance.  
Additionally, the added benefit of chromotherapy (light therapy) can help lift mood, especially during hormonal dips.
Color Tip: Blue and green light can calm the nervous system, while red and orange can energize and uplift.
PEMF Therapy (Pulse Electromagnetic Field Mat)
Our PEMF mat (with infrared heat and negative ions) supports cellular regeneration, reduces inflammation, and helps regulate the nervous system—ideal for women experiencing brain fog, fatigue, or anxiety.
Women in perimenopause and menopause often deal with sleep disturbances, and PEMF has been shown to help promote deeper, more restorative rest.
Halotherapy Salt Bed
Dry salt therapy can ease respiratory concerns and help with skin issues—two things that may flare up due to hormonal shifts. It’s also deeply calming, making it a perfect stress-relieving session when your emotions feel a bit wobbly.
Ionic Foot Detox
As your body shifts hormonally, the liver and lymphatic system work harder to process the changes. The ionic foot detox helps gently stimulate detoxification, so your body can process excess hormones and environmental toxins more efficiently.
Compression Therapy Boots
Hormonal changes can lead to circulatory sluggishness, swelling, and leg fatigue. Our compression therapy boosts lymphatic drainage, relieves tired legs, and supports vascular health—especially helpful for women dealing with lower-body heaviness or water retention.

You Are Not Alone
Perimenopause and menopause can feel isolating, especially in a culture that often under-discusses the complexity of women’s health. But at Sanctuary Wellness, you’re supported, seen, and celebrated. Our space is designed to nurture your whole self—body, mind, and spirit.
We invite you to schedule a free consultation or tour, where we’ll walk you through each therapy and create a custom plan for your symptoms and goals. You don’t have to suffer through “the change.” You can thrive through it—with the right tools, support, and self-care.
