Integrative Chinese Medicine approach
In the clinic, Fraser regularly supports women through the transitions of perimenopause and menopause, helping manage a wide range of symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, irregular or heavy periods, sleep disturbances, mood changes, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain. Drawing on the principles of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) with evidence-based research, each treatment plan is specific to the individual and may include a personalised combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to support you as you transition this important life stage.
Before your consultation
When you book in for your initial consultation, you will be provided with a comprehensive pre-intake health form, which is completed prior to your appointment. This pre-intake form covers all aspects of your health, including your menstrual cycle and current symptoms, past medical history, medications, supplements, and any other relevant information regarding your hormones and menstrual cycle health. Fraser Cobham will review your health form prior to the consultation to gain a broad understanding of your unique needs and to establish the foundation of your initial treatment and treatment plan.
Your initial treatment
During your initial consultation, Fraser will ask additional clarifying questions to gain a deeper understanding of your hormonal health. Specific diagnostic techniques such as abdominal palpation, tongue diagnosis, and pulse assessment, may be used to refine your Chinese Medicine diagnosis. Based on the recommendations provided, you will receive acupuncture and/or a herbal formula to help you address your main symptoms of concern.

- Supporting hormonal balance
