If you’re in perimenopause or menopause, you’ve likely felt it — that undercurrent of anxiety, the sleep that never quite restores you, the sense that your body is stuck in overdrive. Maybe you’ve even heard the phrase “nervous system dysregulation” but weren’t sure what it really meant.

Let’s break it down — and more importantly, let’s talk about how to support your body to feel safe, balanced, and well again.

The Hidden Player Behind Your Stress Response: The Vagus Nerve

Running from your brainstem all the way down to your abdomen, the vagus nerve is one of the most important nerves in your body. It’s a key part of the parasympathetic nervous system — often called the “rest and digest” system.

When your vagus nerve is activated, your body shifts out of fight-or-flight mode. Your heart rate slows, your digestion improves, inflammation decreases, and cortisol (your stress hormone) begins to drop. This is your body’s natural state of healing — but for many women in midlife, it becomes harder and harder to access.

Why This Matters in Menopause

During perimenopause and menopause, hormone levels are in flux — especially estrogen and progesterone. These hormonal changes can heighten sensitivity to stress, increase anxiety, impact sleep, and throw your nervous system out of balance.

When the body is stuck in sympathetic dominance (constantly switched on, braced, and over-alert), it can worsen menopause symptoms — from hot flushes and insomnia to brain fog and emotional overwhelm.

By contrast, stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system can help regulate hormones, calm inflammation, improve digestion, and ease the emotional intensity that often comes with this transition.

Introducing: The Nervous System Reset Treatment

✨ New Service: The Nervous System Reset – £75 (60 mins)

This deeply restorative session is designed specifically to soothe your nervous system, helping your body shift from “survive” to “thrive.”

What’s included:

• A calming lymphatic drainage facial to release tension, boost circulation, and gently stimulate the vagus nerve through facial pathways.
• Reflexology focused on endocrine balance to support the ovaries, adrenals, thyroid, and pituitary — helping your body find its hormonal rhythm again.
• Guided breath and relaxation techniques to settle your mind, reconnect you to your body, and invite deep rest.

Every element is chosen to stimulate the vagus nerve and activate the parasympathetic response — your body’s natural state of repair.

Who Is This For?

This treatment is especially beneficial if you:

• Feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained
• Struggle with menopause symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, or mood swings
• Crave a sense of deep rest and reconnection
• Want to feel more grounded, present, and in tune with your body

You’ll leave the session feeling lighter, safer, and more like yourself again — not just relaxed, but truly restored.
