Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. Whether you’re in the early stages of perimenopause or fully into menopause, the experience can be physically and emotionally demanding. From hot flushes and night sweats to mood swings, fatigue, and brain fog — the symptoms can feel overwhelming.


While there’s no “cure” for menopause, there are ways to support yourself gently, holistically, and effectively. Red light therapy is emerging as a powerful ally in this journey. Combined with floatation therapy and infrared sauna, it can offer real relief and help you feel more like yourself again.


The Benefits of Holistic Therapies


Understanding Menopause


Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. During this time, hormonal changes can lead to various physical and emotional symptoms. Understanding these changes is crucial for managing them effectively.


The Role of Hormones


Hormones like oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate significantly during menopause. These changes can lead to symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Recognising these symptoms is the first step towards finding relief.


Red Light Therapy: A Natural Glow from Within


Red light therapy uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular repair and energy. It’s completely non-invasive and deeply restorative — especially during times of hormonal fluctuation.


How it Can Support You Through Perimenopause and Menopause


  • Boosts collagen & skin health: Red light helps reduce dryness, improve elasticity, and soften fine lines — perfect for combatting the skin changes that come with declining oestrogen.

  • Reduces inflammation & supports joint health: Aching joints or stiffness? Red light therapy helps ease inflammation and improve circulation, gently relieving discomfort.

  • Lifts energy & mental clarity: Perimenopause and menopause can sap your energy and leave you feeling foggy. Red light supports your mitochondria (the energy centres of your cells), helping to restore vitality and mental sharpness.

  • Improves mood & sleep: Studies suggest red light can help regulate melatonin and serotonin levels, leading to better sleep and more stable moods.


Floatation Therapy: Deep Rest for the Mind & Body


Floating in a warm, Epsom salt-filled tank may sound simple, but it’s incredibly powerful. With your body weightlessly supported, external stimulation fades away, allowing your nervous system to truly unwind.


Benefits for Menopausal Women Include:


  • Reduced stress (a major trigger for hot flushes)

  • Improved sleep quality

  • A calmer mind and better emotional balance

  • Natural relief from tension and muscle aches


Infrared Sauna: Gentle Heat, Powerful Healing


Infrared saunas use light to warm the body from within — a more soothing and accessible experience than traditional steam saunas. The warmth promotes circulation, detoxification, and overall wellbeing.


How It Helps:


  • Eases night sweats and hot flushes by balancing body temperature

  • Supports detoxification and hormone balance

  • Relieves joint pain and muscle tension

  • Promotes endorphin release, helping lift mood

  • Enhances sleep quality and reduces fatigue


Real Support, Naturally Delivered


As women, we often push through discomfort without asking for help — but menopause deserves care and attention. Floatation therapy, infrared sauna, and red light therapy each offer unique benefits. When combined, they can provide holistic support for both body and mind.


If you're looking for a gentle, nurturing way to manage your symptoms and feel more at ease in your body, these therapies are a beautiful place to start.


Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Sessions


  • Start slowly: Build up session time gradually if you’re new to any of the therapies.

  • Stay hydrated: Drink water before and after each session.

  • Avoid caffeine & alcohol beforehand: These can interfere with your body’s natural rhythms.

  • Listen to your body: If something doesn’t feel right, pause and try again another day.

  • Give yourself permission to rest: These therapies work best when you allow yourself to fully relax and let go.


You deserve support, not just to survive menopause — but to thrive through it. Explore our Menopause Wellness Support Package to experience the benefits of floatation therapy, infrared sauna, and red light therapy in a calming, supportive space designed for women like you.
