How we work
Our Gentle Journey to Inner Peace
Getting to Know You and Your Stress Story
We’ll start with a friendly chat lasting an hour. Think of it as catching up with a caring friend who’s really good at listening. We’ll explore:
- Your presenting complaint – when it started, how it shows up for you, and what you’ve tried so far
- Your overall health and lifestyle – because everything in our body is beautifully interconnected
- Your daily routines – things like sleep patterns, eating habits, work life, and how you currently manage stress
- Your dreams for a calmer life – what would your ideal stress-free day look like?
Listening to Your Body's Whispers
Sometimes, our body gives us clues about what’s going on inside. We might suggest some tests to help us understand your mental capacity, stress and anxiety better:
- Adrenal Health Check: To see how your body is coping with stress
- Nutrient Level Look: Making sure your body has all it needs to support mental cognition
- Gut Health Assessment: Because a happy gut often means a happier mind
- Hormone Check: To see if any hormonal imbalances are contributing to your ADHD, stress or anxiety
We’ll explain everything in simple terms and how each piece of information helps us create your personalised calm-inducing plan.
