Menopause Awareness Month October 2025
Menopause may not be new, but the conversation around it is growing day by day – and I’m all for keeping that momentum going.
This October, for Menopause Awareness Month, the spotlight is on Lifestyle Medicine – a theme that couldn’t be more relevant.
Lifestyle Medicine is built on six foundational pillars:
🌿 Healthy Eating
😴 Restorative Sleep
💛 Emotional Wellbeing
🏃♀️ Physical Activity
🤝 Healthy Relationships
🚫 Reducing exposure to harmful substances
It’s the perfect framework to explore how aromatherapy and essential oils can play a powerful, supportive role in your menopause journey.
Understanding what’s happening in your body is essential. I encourage you to tune in, notice your cycle, your emotions, and the subtle shifts as you move through perimenopause. Awareness is the first step toward empowerment.
Throughout October, I’ll be sharing insights on four essential oils, one each week, that can help ease some of the most common menopause symptoms.
Aromatherapy isn’t just about a pleasant smell, it’s a therapeutic practice rooted in centuries of tradition and increasingly supported by modern science.
Research has shown that aromatherapy can effectively reduce certain perimenopausal symptoms, such as anxiety, sleep disturbances, and hot flashes.

For women navigating menopause, essential oils offer gentle, holistic support for both physical and emotional wellbeing.
