The name ClaraSana comes from the Latin words "clara" meaning clarity
and "sana" meaning health.
Together, these words speak to the heart of the clinic’s philosophy: bringing understanding to a time of change, and supporting health with care that is calm, informed and compassionate.
ClaraSana Women’s Health was created to offer clarity when things feel uncertain, and to support women through their reproductive years, perimenopause and menopause with respect, evidence and genuine care.

Introducing Dr Susana Rodriguez
Founder & Medical Director
Dr Susana graduated in 2003 from the prestigious University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines, after completing eight years of rigorous study in medical technology, medicine and surgery. She gained broad hospital experience before relocating to the UK in 2005.
She worked at St Mary’s Hospital in London as well as hospitals across Cheshire, Dorset, and Hampshire, practising as a doctor in the UK for 10 years and completing her General Practice training within the NHS.
During this period she also completed her post graduate diploma in Clinical Dermatology which was awarded with distinction by Queen Mary University of London.
In 2015, Dr Susana moved to Australia and she continues to hold her well-established General Practice clinic at Brighton Beach Medical Centre. She provides comprehensive care to a large number of long-term patients from across Perth’s northern suburbs, with many travelling from further afield.
Alongside her GP work, Dr Susana has provided expert medical support to a dedicated hair clinic on a weekly basis since 2015. In this role, she has helped manage a wide range of hair loss conditions in both men and women of all ages, using fully approved, evidence-based treatments.
Dr Susana is a proud member of the Australasian Menopause Society, a commitment that complements her broader clinical experience and allows her to offer genuinely holistic care to women at all life stages. She is known for building strong, supportive relationships with her patients and for delivering care that is both professional and approachable.
Dr Susana is fluent in both English and Tagalog, is actively involved in the local community and warmly welcomes patients from all backgrounds.

Menopause treatment in Perth
at ClaraSana Women's Health
At ClaraSana, we provide personalised care to support women through the stages of hormonal transition, with a focus on comfort, confidence, and long-term wellbeing.
Care is respectful, individualised and grounded in understanding how hormonal change can influence many aspects of health, including sleep, mood, skin health, hair and scalp changes, intimate comfort and healthy ageing.
Clinical depth. Human understanding.
A personalised approach to hormonal care
Every woman’s experience is different. Some seek support for specific symptoms, while others want a broader plan for wellbeing throughout the stages of life.
At ClaraSana, we offer thoughtful, personalised care to provide support with your hormonal transition, taking into account your symptoms, health history, lifestyle and personal priorities to help you make informed and confident decisions about your health.
Skin and hair health expertise
Hormonal change can influence skin, hair and overall physical comfort in ways that can be overlooked and sometimes even brushed-off.
At ClaraSana, we combine expertise in skin care and hair loss with guidance on perimenopause diagnosis and available treatment options.
Our approach supports both wellbeing and confidence through this life stage, ensuring that these concerns are addressed thoughtfully alongside other menopause issues, as outlined in our INFORMATION & RESOURCES pages.
Supporting women through every stage of hormonal transition
Needs evolve from the reproductive years, through perimenopause and during the years after menopause. At ClaraSana, we provide continuity of hormonal care, helping women adapt treatment and lifestyle approaches as health priorities change over time.
The focus is always on comfort, function, confidence and wellbeing.
ClaraSana Women’s Health was founded on the belief that care through hormonal transition should be calm, considered and grounded in good medical evidence.
From the beginning, the clinic was designed as a space where women could feel heard, supported and given time to understand the changes they may be experiencing.
Choosing a healthcare provider is personal, and feeling understood and supported matters.
ClaraSana provides compassionate, evidence-informed healthcare in Perth, supporting and guiding women through symptoms and treatment decisions at all life stages.
You can book a hormonal health consultation to discuss your experience and explore personalised care options.
