PMS/PMDD Hormonal Support
PMDD is hormone sensitivity.
Lately, you do not recognize yourself.
ARE YOU...
-
Are you snapping at loved ones or tearing up over small things before your period and wondering why you can’t control it
-
Are your focus and energy collapsing before your period
and does it feel like everything is louder and harder.
We help with PMDD and severe PMS, premenstrual exacerbation of anxiety or depression, sleep disruption, brain fog, relationship tension, and planning support around hard days.
When your pain was dismissed for too long
PMDD is often underrecognized. Research shows it can be misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder or dismissed as “just PMS,” especially when symptoms overlap with other conditions or worsen preexisting ones (Osborn et al., 2020; Nolan & Hughes, 2022). Women’s menstrual mental health concerns are still frequently minimized or delayed in diagnosis.
We see PMDD as a cycle that deserves to be understood. Sometimes it is predictable and steady, and sometimes it arrives loud, disruptive, and unfamiliar.
PMDD can protect and prepare you, and when it intensifies, it can strain connection, focus, and sleep. It is often misunderstood because hormone levels may appear normal, yet the brain can be highly sensitive to the natural shifts across the cycle.
We begin by mapping your individual cycle pattern and understanding what shifts when symptoms rise. We strengthen emotional regulation, practise communication and repair, and plan for vulnerable days so they do not take over your life. Care is trauma informed, relationship centred, and evidence informed, with attention to culture, migration, family systems, and your current stress load. When helpful, partners or family members are included so support feels steadier and more informed.
This service is offered for individuals and couples.
How It Works
Welcome In
We start with a simple check-in, go over consent and privacy, and name what brings you here. Together, we track patterns in mood, energy, focus, behaviour, and relationship strain, noticing which parts take over and when. We build regulation skills before the vulnerable days, so you feel more predictable, capable, and supported across your cycle.
You Choose The Focus
We set clear goals and practical steps, open space for deeper healing, or both. In session, we practise one small, cycle specific skill you can use right away, such as a brain fog plan, a parts check in, or a short repair script that protects connection. When helpful, partners or support people can join so they understand the cycle and learn how to respond with steadiness.
After The Session
After the session, you leave with a care plan for the week and options that fit your life. Care is trauma-informed, relationship-centred, and evidence-informed, with attention to culture, migration, community, and finances. You can pause or pass on any question, ask for clarity at any time, and we move at your pace.
"Your cycle does not get the final say,
we strengthen you, so the hard days do not take over."
