Menlo Park Physician Earns National Menopause Certification While Exploring Stellate Ganglion Block Treatment in Bay Area for Perimenopause Symptoms
Bay Area, CA – August 14, 2026 – Soft Reboot Wellness Founder and Medical Director Dr. Sara Herman has earned the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) designation, a national credential recognizing advanced expertise in evidence-based care for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. The certification arrives as Dr. Herman deepens her clinical focus on the autonomic nervous system’s role in midlife women’s health.
“Many women are told anxiety, insomnia, hot flashes, and brain fog are simply part of getting older,” said Dr. Herman. “Hormone therapy matters, but the nervous system also shapes this transition.” At Soft Reboot Wellness, recognized for Bay Area Ketamine therapy, Dr. Herman blends hormone optimization, sleep medicine, and trauma-informed protocols tailored to each patient.
One area of growing interest is the Stellate Ganglion Block, a minimally invasive procedure Dr. Herman performs as ultrasound guided SGB in Menlo Park, CA, temporarily calming sympathetic nerve activity in the neck. Best established for PTSD and chronic pain, emerging clinical experience suggests it may also ease vasomotor symptoms and sleep disruption tied to perimenopause.
Over the past year, Dr. Herman has offered stellate ganglion block treatment in Bay Area for women facing these symptoms, often paired with broader lifestyle care. “We’ve seen real improvement in hot flashes, anxiety, and sleep quality, with wearables often showing gains in deep sleep,” she said. “Larger studies are still needed to know who benefits most.”
True to Soft Reboot Wellness’s root-cause philosophy, treatment is rarely a single visit. New clients commit to at least two sessions, with most completing weekly two-hour, fifteen-minute visits over four to twelve weeks, followed by spaced booster sessions. Patients pursuing SGB therapy in Menlo Park, CA alongside menopause care receive individualized pacing grounded in careful screening.
Dr. Herman sees the future of menopause care in treating hormones and nervous system regulation together. “My goal is to help women not just survive midlife, but truly thrive through it,” she said.
