Naturopathic Support for Menopause in Melbourne
How Naturopathy Can Help with Menopause
Are you sleeping poorly, feeling emotionally drained, or noticing changes in energy, focus, or metabolism that don’t feel like “you?” Menopause doesn’t have to feel like losing control of your body.
As both a qualified naturopath working in the women’s health field and a woman, I understand how hard it is to keep up with work, family, and self-care when your body doesn’t feel like your own.
At My Natural Clinic in Melbourne, Olga Mandic provides a evidence-based approach to support women through menopause naturally. Her focus is on understanding how your hormones, stress response, thyroid, and nervous system are interacting, and guiding your body back toward stability and ease.
How Naturopathy Can Support You Through Menopause
Menopause is a natural life transition, but symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, and brain fog are signs your body needs extra support. Naturopathic care focuses on the root causes—hormonal changes, stress, nutrient status, thyroid and adrenal health—so your vitality returns and daily life feels easier.
Olga’s treatment approach includes:
- Balancing hormones naturally – Supporting estrogen, progesterone, and adrenal health with nutrition and herbal medicine such as phytoestrogens (Sage, Red Clover) and adaptogens for stress.
- Reducing hot flushes and night sweats – using phytoestrogenic herbs like Black Cohosh and Sage, and nutrients such as magnesium and vitamin E to support thermoregulation.
- Improving mood and mental clarity – supporting neurotransmitter balance with B vitamins, omega-3s, and adaptogens that calm the nervous system.
- Enhancing sleep quality – using gentle, non-habit-forming remedies to support melatonin, cortisol, and relaxation pathways.
- Protecting bone and heart health – providing nutritional strategies for calcium absorption, circulation, and long-term wellbeing.
- Addressing thyroid and metabolism – assessing and supporting metabolic changes that often occur during this stage.
Olga’s naturopathic care combines hormonal, nutritional, and emotional support helping you transition through menopause with steadiness, resilience, and confidence.
“Menopause is not a decline; it’s a recalibration. When we support your body’s new rhythm, balance, and peace, return naturally.”
— Olga Mandic, Naturopath
Our Approach at My Natural Clinic
At My Natural Clinic, every consultation is designed to help you understand your body and feel in control of your health again. Menopause is not a problem to be fixed, it’s a transition that can be supported naturally.
As a woman and naturopath Olga Mandic knows that menopause can test your patience and confidence. Compassion, expertise, and proven therapies make this journey smoother—you are not alone in this.
By combining scientific insight, functional testing, and personalised naturopathic treatments she helps women move through this stage with balance and comfort.
1. Book your consultation
After booking, you’ll receive an email with forms and information to complete before your appointment. The first session (1–1.5 hours) focuses on your main concerns, any previous test results, and creating a tailored treatment plan. Please join from a private, quiet space, as we’ll be discussing personal health details.
2. In-depth health review
Follow-up appointments are typically set about four weeks after your first visit, with frequency based on your needs. The aim is to keep visits minimal and equip you with the knowledge and tools to manage your health independently once your goals are met.
3. Personalised plan
Your treatment plan goes beyond general prescriptions, focusing on root causes and tailored herbal and nutraceutical support for cellular health, immunity, gut, neurological function, and energy. It also includes lifestyle and diet education to help you achieve and maintain your health goals.
4. Receive ongoing support
Olga provides continuous support and adapts your care plan to align with your medical treatments and changing needs.

Meet Olga Mandic, Melbourne Naturopath for Menopause
Hello! I’m Olga Mandic, a naturopath, passionate wellness advocate, and founder of My Natural Clinic here in Melbourne’s Bayside. With a deep respect for both natural and evidence-based medicine, I help individuals and families reconnect with their health in a way that feels clear, empowering, and sustainable.
My approach to naturopathy is grounded in science, guided by compassion, and tailored to you. I believe in listening first, truly understanding your health history, lifestyle, and goals, and then designing a treatment plan that fits your unique needs, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
As a mother of three, I know firsthand how hard it can be to put your own health first, and how powerful it is when you do. I work with a wide range of clients, supporting everything from chronic fatigue, gut health, and hormonal imbalances, to everyday stress and preventative wellness, using nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle support to bring balance back to the body.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about naturopathy, consultations, or how our clinic in the City of Bayside can support your health? You’re not alone. Below are answers to some of the most common things people ask before starting their wellness journey with us.
Can naturopathy help if my menopause started early?
Yes, naturopathy can be especially helpful for women experiencing early or surgical menopause, as the sudden hormonal drop can intensify symptoms. A personalised plan can support both short-term comfort and long-term health protection.
Are there natural options for bone health after menopause?
Definitely. Nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K2, along with weight-bearing exercise and specific herbs, can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis naturally.
Will naturopathy help with memory or “brain fog”?
Yes. Many women experience cognitive changes during menopause. Naturopathic strategies to balance blood sugar, improve circulation, reduce stress, and support the nervous system can sharpen memory and focus.
Can naturopathy really help with menopause symptoms, or do I need HRT?
Both options can be effective, but they work differently. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) replaces hormones directly, while naturopathy supports your body’s natural processes with herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies. Some women choose HRT, some choose naturopathy, and many find a combination works best. At My Natural Clinic, Olga will help you explore which path feels right for you.
Understanding Menopause
What is Menopause?
Menopause is the natural biological process marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It is diagnosed once a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a period. While often discussed as a single event, menopause is actually a transition that includes perimenopause (the years leading up to menopause), menopause (the final period), and postmenopause (the years after). Each stage can bring its own challenges and symptoms.
While every woman experiences menopause differently, for many it brings uncomfortable physical and emotional changes. Understanding what’s happening in your body can help you feel more in control — and know when to seek support.
What causes women to experience Menopause?
Menopause happens as the ovaries gradually produce less estrogen and progesterone, the hormones that regulate menstruation and fertility. These hormonal changes affect nearly every body system.
- Thermoregulation: Lower estrogen disrupts the hypothalamus, the body’s “thermostat,” causing hot flushes and night sweats.
- Mood and cognition: Hormonal shifts influence serotonin and other neurotransmitters, affecting mood, sleep, memory, and focus.
- Reproductive and sexual health: Reduced estrogen thins vaginal tissues, leading to dryness, discomfort, or pain during intimacy.
- Bone health: Lower estrogen accelerates bone loss, increasing osteoporosis risk.
- Cardiovascular system: Hormonal decline may raise cholesterol and blood pressure, affecting long-term heart health.
Lifestyle factors such as chronic stress, poor sleep, diet high in processed foods, alcohol, and smoking can worsen symptoms and long-term health risks.
Signs you may be dealing with Menopause
Menopause symptoms vary in severity, but common signs include:
- Vasomotor symptoms: Hot flushes, night sweats, sudden warmth, and flushing of the skin.
- Menstrual changes: Irregular or skipped periods leading to their eventual end.
- Mood and emotional symptoms: Irritability, anxiety, low mood, or heightened stress.
- Sleep disturbances: Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up during the night.
- Physical changes: Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen; changes in hair and skin texture.
- Sexual and reproductive symptoms: Vaginal dryness, pain during sex, reduced libido.
- Cognitive symptoms: Difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, or “brain fog.”
- Long-term changes: Increased risk of bone thinning (osteoporosis) and cardiovascular disease.
Not every woman experiences all of these symptoms, but if they are interfering with your quality of life, naturopathic support can help ease the transition naturally and effectively.
