Mood & Nervous System

Anxiety, Stress, Sleep, Insomnia, Panic Attacks, OCD

Personalised mood and nervous system care for midlife women who are done just coping and ready for steady energy, calmer days and genuinely better sleep.

Mood & Nervous System Package

This is our core mood package for midlife women who are done “just coping” and want real answers as well as relief. We start with an in‑depth 90‑minute consultation to map what’s really driving your low mood, anxiety, sleep issues and energy crashes, then translate that into a clear, personalised plan you can actually follow in real life. Your three 45‑minute follow‑up sessions give you space to review progress, fine‑tune your plan and stay steady when life is busy, so calm days and reliable energy become your new normal instead of something you’re chasing.

What’s included

Extended initial appointment (90 minutes) to deeply explore your health history, current symptoms and goals.
Regular follow‑up appointments (45 minutes each) to assess progress, review test results and adapt your plan so it stays realistic and effective.
Bespoke dietary, lifestyle and supplement programme tailored to your needs and preferences.
Chat support between consultations for questions, and so we can check-in and help you stay on track.
Additional behind‑the‑scenes time to review test results and refine your personalised plan before and after appointments.
10% discount on selected practitioner‑grade supplements
Review of previous test results, and access to functional testing where appropriate, with clear explanations and next steps.
Collaboration with your GP or other healthcare providers when helpful, to keep your care joined‑up.

This clock sits at the base of your brain and runs a 24-hour cycle that controls virtually everything: when you sleep, when hormones are released, when your digestive system is active, when your immune system works, and—critically—how your mood-regulating neurotransmitters function. The SCN drives your circadian rhythm
