How do you know you have passed the menopause?

It’s the 1 year anniversary since your last bleed. I celebrated this milestone in October 2025 and I'm delighted I completed my acupuncture degree while traversing this transition and leaning into Chinese Medicine to manage my symptoms.

I’m clearly no longer in the Mother phase in life and not yet a Crone, I'm in the lesser known Maga or Mage phase. Like the Goddess Isis, these terms have other associations, but it’s great to reclaim them!

The 4 archetypes are Maiden, Mother, Maga or Mage and Crone. In Celtic traditions it's often represented by the waxing, full and waning moon to represent the Maiden, Mother and Crone.

If you bleed after your menopause, it’s recommended you visit a doctor to investigate the reason for the return of bleeding. It could be your body having one last clear out, or something more serious. A medical professional will be able to make further checks to evaluate which it is.

If you are looking for support on your menopause journey and want to know how Chinese Medicine can help you, book a treatment and I'll give you a personal evaluation.
