Menopause Hormonal Changes
Why Cortisol Matters - And How Yoga Helps
Hormonal changes during menopause often lead to elevated cortisol, the body’s stress hormone. High cortisol can amplify anxiety, fatigue, and poor sleep.
We lean into contemporary experts like Dr Stacy Sims’ whose groundbreaking research shows how practices like Yoga and Yin can reduce cortisol, restore calm, and help women feel strong in their bodies again. Unlike intense workouts, Yoga gently supports the nervous system – lowering stress and improving resilience.
Our holistic approach to supporting your wellbeing integrates Yoga and Yin with Haven Yoga Studio Buderim, and our expert counselling team. Guiding you to true wellbeing by supporting your body, mind, and energy as you navigate menopause.
Holistic Healing - Counselling & yoga
Calm from Within: The Vagal Nerve Connection
Perimenopause and menopause create changes to your hormones, which in turn cause changes in your emotional, physical, and psychological state. At Counselling Haven we love learning the latest techniques to support your holistic wellbeing.
Contemporary research on vagal nerve regulation from experts such as Dr Lucille Shackleton’s reveals simple ways to activate your body’s natural calming system:
• Gentle yoga that stimulates vagal tone
• Slow breathwork to settle anxiety and tension
• Singing and humming to soothe the nervous system
These practices help you self-soothe, reclaim your calm, and feel connected to your body again. At Counselling Haven we lean into supporting your vagal nerve regulation at Haven Yoga Studio, where you can enjoy Gentle Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Slow Flow Yoga and support deeper transformation.

What Our Clients Say
FAQs Menopause Couselling
Menopause can bring about significant shifts in identity, self-esteem, and mental clarity. Counselling offers emotional support, practical tools for managing symptoms like brain fog or irritability, sleeplessness, disconnection with body and guidance on navigating this powerful life transition with confidence.
Menopause is not something that we need to do alone, it is not to be hidden and suffered through. We are here to support you to enjoy your life, experience this season of your life with confidence, information, and practical tools.
Our counselling combines evidence-based techniques with a deep understanding of hormonal health and nervous system regulation. We offer warm, personalised care and integrate practices like mindfulness, breathwork, and gentle yoga to support the whole person – body, mind and heart.
Not at all. Many women seek counselling simply to understand what’s happening in their body, learn how to reduce stress, or find support for subtle but unsettling changes. If something feels off – you’re not alone, and support is here. We are also experts in supporting you to seek medical support if you would like to explore this pathway.
Counselling provides a safe and supportive space to understand the emotional and psychological changes that can arise during perimenopause. It helps manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship challenges while building self-awareness and coping strategies.
Our clients experience a diverse range of symptoms from vaginal dryness and loss of libdo, through to feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, distractedness, attention and concentration challenges, and body aches and pains….not just hot flushes, irritability, and loss of sleep. With Counselling Haven you are safe to share your experiences and we are here to support your journey to wellbeing.
Medical menopause, often triggered by surgery, cancer treatment, or certain health conditions, can come on suddenly and feel overwhelming.
Counselling helps process the grief, identity shifts, and physical impacts that come with it, offering practical and emotional support for recovery and adaptation.
Absolutely. Counselling complements medical support beautifully. While hormone management therapy can help balance physical symptoms, in our experience counselling offers the emotional and mental support that many women find essential during this time.
