Welcome

You might have landed here because:

  • You are feeling low, fatigued, experiencing mood swings, have irregular periods, and everyone keeps telling you, 'oh, it must be your hormones.'

  • You're doubled over in pain, feeling like you've been hit by a truck, and your doctor tells you, "it's just PMS."

  • Or perhaps you are trying to conceive, and you don't understand why that is not happening despite all your efforts. You have been labeled with 'unexplained infertility.'

  • You are navigating your (peri)menopausal years, feeling hopeless and confused about how your body and mind are changing. Those around you look at you as if you are acting crazy.

Well, I am here to tell you that you are not making it up. It's not just PMS. There isn't such a thing as unexplained infertility. And you are definitively not going mad.

Hormonal Support for Women - Acupuncturist & Herbalist

Hello! I am Giusi and I have been working in the field of women’s hormonal health for over a decade.

I completely understand how you feel. It can be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to feel powerless when it comes to your health, especially if you have been dismissed in the past. I’ve been there. 

As a Chinese medicine practitioner and bodywork therapist, my focus is on empowering women like you to take control of your health and wellbeing.

I understand that every woman's body is unique, and that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to hormonal health.

This why I take a personalised approach to each of my clients. 

I believe in working together with you, rather than simply telling you what to do. 

Through a combination of Chinese medicine, bodywork, and Compassionate Inquiry, we will work together to find the root cause of your health issues and create a customised plan to help you feel your best.

You are welcome here, as ultimately I believe that it is YOUR hormones. Your body. Your choices.

Kind Words

  • "Giusi treated me for hormone imbalance. I had tried various different endocrinologists, functional health practitioners and only achieved positive results with Giusi. She has real in-depth knowledge of women’s hormones and really takes the time to understand all your symptoms in detail. You really feel from the consultations that you are being listened to and she then goes away to apply her knowledge to what you have told her before coming back to you to recommend a course of action. I felt like she went above and beyond in tailoring a treatment for me. She prescribed herbs specifically for me rather than general supplements that functional health practitioners recommended. She is also extremely empathetic and has a lovely ‘bedside manner’. It was a really positive experience for me after struggling to find professionals to help me."

  • "Giusi has helped me so much. I was really struggling with headaches and fertility concerns and the headaches have all but disappeared and I am 5 months pregnant. I can’t recommend her highly enough!"

    Laura B.

  • “Giusi is wonderful, she quickly helped resolve my skin issues, providing a very personalised and efficient service. Giusi is very generous with her time and guidance, going above and beyond to provide advice and suggestions that will be helpful. Giusi has also helped me during my pregnancy, providing advice and tips for pre and post birth. I feel lucky to be able to turn to Giusi with health concerns and her chinese medicine prescriptions have been very effective.”

    Becca N.

  • "I was very lucky to come across Giusi after experiencing some rather difficult times with woman’s health problems! The care I received was absolutely fantastic and I cannot fault the service provided in any way! I would highly recommend her to anyone as it helped me immensely at a very difficult time in my life. I will be forever grateful for the love and care I received"

    Sam H.

  • "I am very happy with the professional work of Giusi Pezzotta and can highly recommend her as a herbalist and consultant. I have experienced a lot of progress since I started working with her and found her to be not only very professional and insightful but also very empathetic and attentive to my (changing) needs when it came to her style of consulting and choosing the right treatment."

Castor Oil Packs: why, when & how?
Castor Oil Packs: why, when & how?

Castor oil, derived from the seeds of the castor plant, is renowned for its natural laxative properties when ingested.

A milder and more soothing way to harness its benefits is through the use of castor oil packs on your lower abdomen.

I recommend castor oil packs for individuals experiencing menstrual cycle challenges, such as period pain, ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, and adenomyosis.
