CAVAN MENOPAUSAL RELIEF MASSAGE THERAPY

A nurturing full-body treatment designed to support women through the menopausal transition, including perimenopause and post-menopause, within a calm, non-medical wellness setting.

This session combines gentle lymphatic-style techniques, aromatherapy, and slow, supportive massage to encourage relaxation, comfort, and a sense of ease in the body. The approach is nervous-system-aware and comfort-based, focusing on how your body responds on the day rather than attempting to correct or treat hormonal changes.

Each treatment is tailored to your individual experience, energy levels, and comfort preferences, offering space to rest, unwind, and reconnect during a time of physical and emotional change.

Evidence-Informed Context

Research suggests that massage therapy may offer supportive benefits for wellbeing during menopause, particularly in relation to relaxation and sleep quality.

Small-scale studies have observed associations between massage and:

  • Reduced perceived stress and anxiety
  • Improved relaxation and sleep patterns
  • Enhanced overall sense of wellbeing

While existing research is limited and does not establish massage as a treatment for menopausal symptoms, it supports its role as a non-pharmacological, complementary approach to self-care during this transition.

What You May Experience

  • A nurturing full-body session using light to medium pressure to support relaxation, circulation, and muscular comfort
  • Gentle techniques aimed at easing general tension, stiffness, and physical holding
  • Aromatherapy oils traditionally associated with calming and relaxation
  • A supportive, grounded environment that honours the body’s changing rhythms
  • A personalised session adapted to your comfort, sensitivity, and energy levels

This treatment does not aim to treat menopause or alter hormonal function, but rather to provide supportive care during this life stage.

Potential Supportive Benefits

  • Encourages relaxation and nervous system settling
  • Supports comfort in muscles and joints
  • Promotes circulation and lymphatic movement
  • May contribute to improved sleep and restfulness

Individual responses vary, and benefits may develop gradually over time.
