Home · When to see a clinician
Scope of practice
This website is not a waiting room. Some things are appointments.
Holistic is a way of seeing a life. It is not a way of sitting on chest pain until the sage tea cools. Steal this list. Do not negotiate with it.
Emergency / same day
- Chest pain, breathlessness, fainting
- Sudden “worst headache of my life”, one-sided weakness, speech gone
- Soaking through a pad hourly
- Bleeding after 12 months without a period
- Thoughts of suicide, a plan, or not wanting to be alive (Ireland: Samaritans 116 123)
Soon — GP or menopause-informed clinician
- Sleep, heat, mood, or sex pain wrecking work or safety
- Under 40, or 40–45 with this already in the room
- Surgical or medical menopause
- A breast lump, unexplained weight loss, new severe pelvic pain
- You just want options named, including doing nothing, lifestyle, and medical
What this atlas will still do
Give you sentences, a private one-pager built from your journal, and the honesty that HRT/herbs/doses live with you and a qualified human.
