When Symptoms Don’t Have a Straightforward Answer
You’ve done all the right things. You’re eating clean, moving your body, maybe even taking supplements. But despite your best efforts, something still feels off. You feel disconnected from yourself. Your energy is flat. Your hormones are all over the place.
Here’s the truth most women aren’t told: you’re not just a body, you’re energy. And during perimenopause, the energy body, especially your chakras, undergoes major shifts.
In my work blending functional medicine and energy healing, I’ve seen how energetic imbalances can mirror and amplify hormonal ones.
Perimenopause isn’t just a physical transition. It’s an energetic one too. And your body might be asking you to tune in, not just tweak your routine.
What If Your Symptoms Are Energy Speaking Through the Body?
Picture this. You’re lying in bed, eyes wide open at 3 AM. Your heart’s racing, your mind won’t stop, and your body feels restless. You chalk it up to hormones, and yes, that’s part of it. But what if your root chakra, your energetic foundation, is calling out for safety and support?
During perimenopause, this chakra, linked to your adrenal glands, often goes into overdrive, especially after years of living in survival mode. It’s no wonder exhaustion and anxiety have become your daily companions.
Or maybe you’ve noticed that your sensuality, creativity, or zest for life has quietly faded. That magnetic, playful version of you seems distant. Often, this reflects an imbalance in your sacral chakra, which governs the ovaries and reproductive system. This chakra holds your ability to receive pleasure and feel fully alive, and when depleted, low libido, bloating, and menstrual irregularities often follow.
Then there’s the solar plexus, your power centre. The part of you that sets boundaries, takes up space, and says, “This is who I am.”
If you’ve been questioning your identity, feeling resentful, or riding emotional rollercoasters, your hormones aren’t the only thing in flux. Your liver, pancreas, and digestive fire, physically and energetically, are part of this story too.
And what about the quiet ache in your chest that no blood test can explain? That could be your heart chakra, heavy with unspoken grief, loneliness, or a sense of emotional detachment. Midlife often surfaces old heartbreaks we never had time to process.
The throat chakra, your centre of expression, often becomes blocked when women feel unheard or silenced. It’s no coincidence that thyroid issues frequently arise during perimenopause, a time when many women say, “I don’t recognise my voice anymore.”
Foggy thinking, migraines, and a feeling of being “lost in the fog”? These may be signs your third eye is calling for attention. As your pituitary gland shifts, so does your intuition, sometimes clouded, sometimes waking up. Your body might be asking you to stop doing and start seeing.
And finally, that feeling of disconnection from life’s deeper meaning? That may be a crown chakra imbalance. This energy centre, tied to your pineal gland and spiritual clarity, often activates in midlife. It’s why many women feel a deep soul hunger, a yearning to reconnect with purpose and trust the path ahead.
Each chakra tells a story, of emotion, biology, belief, and when one is imbalanced, it affects the others. Your symptoms are not isolated. They’re interconnected whispers from your energy body, asking to be heard.
How Energy Medicine Helps You Come Back to Yourself
When women first come to me, they often feel like something is “off”, but they can’t quite explain what. Their labs might look fine. Their diet is balanced. Yet the fatigue lingers. The fog doesn’t lift. And they just don’t feel like themselves.
This is where energy medicine steps in, not as a last resort, but as a powerful gateway back to balance.
In our sessions, I use neuroenergetic kinesiology to gently access the body’s energy systems. We don’t just talk; we listen to what your body says through muscle testing. We uncover blocked emotions, inherited patterns, and energetic imprints that may have been stored for decades.
One woman I worked with had constant bloating and a heavy, dull feeling in her lower belly. Her digestion was sluggish despite a clean diet. When we explored her energy field, we discovered a suppressed memory of creative rejection, something that had dulled her sacral chakra’s fire for years.
Once we worked on releasing that, her symptoms began to shift. And not just her symptoms, her energy, her confidence, and even her desire to dance again.
Each session is a conversation with your body’s wisdom. We might use acupressure, sound frequencies, colour therapy, essential oils, or guided emotional release.
No two women are the same, because no two journeys into healing are the same.
Healing the Whole Woman: The Power of a 360° Approach
True healing doesn’t happen in silos. You’re not just hormones. Not just emotions. Not just energy. You’re all of it.
That’s why I don’t separate your physical symptoms from your spiritual self.
We blend functional medicine, looking at how your hormones, liver, gut, and nervous system interact. with energy work that taps into your deeper story.
When we work this way, the results go beyond symptom management:
- Sleep begins to return, as the nervous system finally exhales
- The bloat eases, not just because of food choices, but because your body feels safe again
- Emotions begin to flow instead of getting trapped
- You start remembering who you were before the world told you to shrink
Perimenopause doesn’t have to be something you fight. It can be something you move through, with grace, with insight, and with guidance.
This Isn’t Just a Hormonal Shift. It’s an Energetic Awakening.
We are not meant to stay the same. This midlife moment isn’t a crisis, it’s a calling. A wake-up to come home to yourself.
Your symptoms are not signs of decline. They are invitations, to slow down, to listen more deeply, to realign with your purpose.
To reclaim your energy not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
I’ve seen it time and again: when women begin to honour their energy body, everything changes. Not overnight. Not with magic. But with intention, compassion, and support.
Because a woman who understands her energy is a woman who is no longer afraid of her power.
Let’s Begin the Journey Together
If this spoke to you, if you feel the nudge that your symptoms are trying to tell you something deeper, I invite you to take the first step.
You’re not alone.
You’re not invisible.
And you’re not too late.
This is your time to rise.
