A Thoughtful Approach to Perimenopause & Menopause Care
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.
The approach recognises that hormonal transitions can affect many aspects of health and wellbeing, including skin and hair, and that these concerns deserve careful attention alongside other menopause-related symptoms.
This philosophy continues to guide thoughtful, evidence-informed care through perimenopause, menopause and the years that follow.
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.
