The Menopoised Magnet and My New Approach
I’m Jo Darling, the acupuncturist behind Menopoised®. While I’ve now closed the product side of the business, I’m still here to support you. My focus has shifted from a one-size-fits-all product to personalized guidance rooted in Chinese medicine and tailored specifically to you.
Instead of wondering which point to use, or guessing whether a magnet is right for your symptoms, you can now book a 1:1 online session with me. You'll receive expert support and a self-care plan created just for you.
Retreating with Jo was life-changing for me. And the impact is stillstrong. The changes that I’ve made to certain aspects of my life feel permanent as there’s been some kind of fundamental shift in meIt feels much easier now, as that’s just who I am now!

I've had no night flushes since the magnet was put on. My mood is good. Heat in the body seems less intense.
