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 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 specialist medical support to a dedicated medical 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 menopause, 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 menopause care
Every woman’s experience of menopause is different. Some seek support for specific symptoms, while others want a broader plan for wellbeing through midlife and beyond.
At ClaraSana, we offer thoughtful, personalised care to provide support with your perimenopause and menopause transition, taking into account your symptoms, health history, lifestyle and personal priorities to help you make informed and confident decisions about your health.
Menopause skin and hair health expertise
Hormonal change can influence skin, hair and overall physical comfort in ways that can be overlooked in traditional menopause care.
At ClaraSana, we combine expertise in menopause 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 menopause information and resources.
Supporting women through perimenopause, menopause & beyond
Needs evolve from early perimenopause and menopause through the years after menopause. At ClaraSana, we provide continuity of menopause care, helping women adapt treatment and lifestyle approaches as health priorities change over time.
The focus is always on comfort, function, confidence and wellbeing after menopause.
ClaraSana Women’s Health was founded on the belief that menopause and perimenopause care 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 menopause care is personal, and feeling understood and supported matters.
ClaraSana provides compassionate, evidence-informed menopause care in Perth, supporting women through symptoms, treatment decisions and health and wellbeing after menopause.
You can book a perimenopause and menopause consultation to discuss your experience and explore personalised care options for perimenopause and menopause.
