I'm Sahar Hooti, BSc (Hons), *MBAcC - a Traditional & Western degree-trainedAcupuncture Practitioner, Educator, Aromatherapist, and Women's Hormonal Health& Skin Specialist. Born in Iran during the Iran-Iraq War in 1981 and raised betweenIran, Australia, and England, I've spent over 20 years working in holistic health, skincare, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.I founded AcuCare Clinic UK to give women practical, science-backed tools tonavigate PeriMenopause naturally. Out of that work (and my own journey throughPeriMenopause) came the Press-Pulsate-Pause Method(TM) - my signature AdvancedAcupressure technique - and AromaAcu Therapy(TM), blending aromatherapy withacupressure to support body and mind.My Persian roots are woven through everything I do. The women who raised me -my mother, grandmother, and aunts - taught me that healing is as much about storyand soul as it is about science. You'll find their wisdom in these pages, alongsidemodern clinical insight.Alongside my clinic, I've been featured in the press for my pioneering work inwomen's health and skincare, spoken at national events such as the Ideal HomeShow, and shared my expertise through workshops, retreats, and communityeducation.Outside the clinic and away from my writing desk, you'll usually find me boxing toshake off stress, blasting out tunes on my saxophone (loudly and badly most days -but it brings me pure joy!), dancing my heart out to DnB, and, most importantly, soaking up quality time with my loved ones - especially my little cutie of a nephew, Noah.This book is my love letter to every woman navigating PeriMenopause. It's not just aguide - it's a reminder that you are not broken. You are becoming.*Registered member of the British Acupuncture Council
