Hormones play a powerful role throughout a woman’s life — from puberty and monthly cycles through to perimenopause and menopause. The main hormones involved are oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and natural fluctuations can influence mood, energy, sleep quality, and emotional resilience.

During the menstrual cycle, changes in oestrogen and progesterone — alongside shifts in serotonin — are often associated with PMS symptoms such as low mood, fatigue, sleep disturbance, food cravings, bloating, and increased sensitivity to pain. Stress, lifestyle factors and environmental exposures can also affect how strongly these symptoms are experienced.

What Changes During Perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the transition phase leading up to menopause and often begins in the late 30s or 40s. During this time, ovarian hormone production gradually changes and cycles can become less predictable. Common experiences include:

• Hot flushes and night sweats

• Changes in sleep

• Mood swings, anxiety or low mood

• Brain fog or memory changes

• Changes in libido

• Increased sensitivity to stress

Simple lifestyle foundations can make a big difference during this stage of life:

• Reducing stress where possible

• Prioritising good sleep habits

• Nourishing food choices

• Staying hydrated

• Gentle, strength-based movement

• Creating calming self-care rituals

Aromatherapy & Emotional Wellbeing

Aromatherapy is valued for working on both an emotional and sensory level. Essential oils influence how we feel through scent, which can be deeply calming or uplifting, and when used in diluted body products they are absorbed through the skin as part of a comforting self-care ritual. For centuries, different oils have been traditionally chosen in aromatherapy to support women through emotionally and physically demanding stages of life, such as PMS, perimenopause and menopause — not as a medical treatment, but as a natural way to create moments of calm, comfort and emotional support.

My Hormone Harmoniser Blend

Creating an aromatherapy blend is a careful balance of knowledge, experience and intuition. Each essential oil is chosen not only for its individual character, but for how it complements the others to create a harmonious, emotionally supportive aroma.

Hormone Harmoniser was created to support times when you feel emotionally out of balance — from PMS through to perimenopause and menopause. Many people describe it as feeling like “a hug in a bottle.”
