Perimenopause, Brain Fog & Losing Your Libido: How Energy Healing Supported Me Through the Change

If you're in your 40s and suddenly wondering, “What on earth is happening to me?” — you're definitely not alone.

Perimenopause can sneak up on you.

For me, it started a few years ago. I didn't wake up one morning and think, Oh, I'm in perimenopause.

Instead, I started noticing little things.

I was forgetting things.

I'd walk into a room and completely forget why I was there.

I'd be halfway through a sentence and suddenly couldn't find the word I wanted.

My brain felt foggy. My memory wasn't what it used to be. I was more irritated than normal, my sleep was all over the place, hot flushes appeared — and my libido had pretty much packed its bags and left.

Now at 47, I can look back and recognise what was happening.

Perimenopause Can Affect More Than Your Period

One of the things I don't think we talk about enough is just how many different ways perimenopause can show up.

It's not simply hot flushes and changing periods.

Women can experience:

• Brain fog and forgetfulness

• Difficulty concentrating or finding words

• Irritability and mood changes

• Hot flushes and night sweats

• Insomnia and disrupted sleep

• Fatigue

• Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed

• Changes in libido

• Feeling disconnected or simply not like yourself

• 
  

And that last one was a big one for me.

I just wanted to feel like me again.

So I Started Working on Myself

As an Emotion Code and Body Code practitioner, I decided to start looking at what my body was telling me rather than focusing solely on the label of perimenopause.

Instead of asking my subconscious to simply “fix menopause”, I worked with the individual symptoms I was experiencing.

The brain fog.

The memory issues.

The irritability.

The hot flushes.

The insomnia.

The low libido.

Using muscle testing, I began asking what energetic imbalances may have been contributing to each issue and what my body was ready to release.

With the Emotion Code, I looked for trapped emotional energies that may have been adding additional stress to my system.

With the Body Code, I could look more broadly at potential energetic imbalances across areas such as emotional wellbeing, energy, circuitry and body systems.

The idea isn't that energy healing changes the natural hormonal transition of menopause. Perimenopause involves very real hormonal changes, and medical support can absolutely be an important part of navigating it.

For me, energy work became another layer of support.

Within Three Sessions, I Felt Like Myself Again

This was the part that surprised me.

After around three sessions focusing on the symptoms I was experiencing, I noticed a significant difference in how I felt.

The fog lifted.

My sleep improved.

The hot flushes settled.

I wasn't nearly as irritable.

My memory felt clearer.

And I felt much more like my old self again.

Do I still occasionally walk into a room and wonder why I'm there?

Absolutely.

Do I sometimes stare at someone while my brain desperately searches for the ridiculously simple word I'm trying to say?

Yep. 😂

But when I notice those symptoms creeping back in, I'll often do another Body Code session on myself and see what comes up.

I also use supplements to support my body through this stage of life. For me, it isn't about choosing energy healing OR conventional support. It's about supporting myself in the ways that feel right for me.

And there's been one unexpected bonus…

My Libido Came Back!

Ladies, we need to talk about this one too.

Low libido can be part of the perimenopause and menopause experience, but because it's personal, we often don't talk about it.

Mine had definitely taken a holiday.

After working on myself?

It came back.

And let's just say…it hasn't left again. 😂

Of all the shifts I experienced, that was a pretty nice bonus!

Could Emotion Code or Body Code Support You Through Perimenopause?

Every woman's experience of perimenopause is different, and I would never suggest that energy healing replaces appropriate medical care.

Symptoms associated with perimenopause can also overlap with other health conditions, so new, persistent or concerning symptoms should always be discussed with your GP or healthcare professional.

But if you've had things medically checked and you're looking for another way to support yourself, Emotion Code and Body Code sessions may be something you'd like to explore alongside your existing care.

Rather than treating menopause itself, we can focus a session around you and the symptoms you're experiencing.

Brain fog.

Sleep.

Irritability.

Feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

Low libido.

Hot flushes.

Or simply that frustrating feeling of:

“I don't feel like myself anymore.”

We can use muscle testing to ask your subconscious what energetic imbalances are ready to be identified and released, without you having to consciously know what's behind them.

Sessions are completely remote, so you don't need to travel or even be online while I work.

And if you're currently somewhere in the wild world of perimenopause wondering where the old you disappeared to…

I get it.

I've been there too.

And yes — sometimes I still can't find the bloody word I'm looking for. 😂

But thankfully, I feel like me again.
