Your hormones affect far more than your period. From painful or irregular periods to acne, mood changes, fatigue and stubborn PMS - your symptoms can provide clues about what may be happening beneath the surface.

Feel heard. Get answers. Have a plan.
Women’s health care that investigates the why - not just the symptom.
The Floura Approach
So, what actually happens when you book?
01 — WE START WITH YOUR STORY
Your first consultation is about understanding the full picture. We’ll talk through your cycle, symptoms, health history, medications, nutrition, lifestyle and what you actually want help with.
Already had blood tests? Bring them. They may give us a useful place to start.
↓
02 — WE DECIDE WHAT’S WORTH INVESTIGATING
Not everyone needs more testing. We’ll review what you already have and, where appropriate, identify whether further investigation could help us better understand what’s going on.
This might include hormone, thyroid, metabolic or nutrient markers depending on your individual presentation.
↓
03 — YOUR PERSONALISED PLAN BEGINS
You don’t necessarily have to wait for every answer before getting started. Where appropriate, we’ll establish your initial plan based on what we know so far.
Your recommendations may include nutrition, lifestyle strategies and practitioner-prescribed supplementation or herbal medicine.
↓
04 — WE REVIEW, CONNECT THE DOTS + REFINE
At your follow-up, we look at what’s changed, review any new results and bring the pieces together.
Your plan evolves with you — recommendations may be adjusted as we learn more about your body and how you’re responding.
There’s no standard “hormone protocol” at Floura.
Two women can arrive with the same symptom and leave with very different plans. That’s the point.
Testing we utilise in clinic
-
Oestradiol, progesterone, LH and FSH - selected and timed according to your cycle and symptoms. We use these markers to better understand ovulation, cycle patterns and reproductive hormone function.
-
Testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG and DHEAS may be assessed where relevant, particularly when investigating symptoms such as acne, excess hair growth, hair loss, irregular cycles or PCOS.
-
Depending on your presentation, testing may include TSH, free T4 and free T3, with thyroid antibodies considered where appropriate. This can be particularly relevant when symptoms such as fatigue, cycle changes, hair loss or temperature changes are present.
-
Fasting glucose, HbA1c and, where clinically appropriate, insulin markers can help us assess metabolic health and insulin regulation - particularly relevant in some presentations of PCOS.
-
Iron studies and ferritin, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, full blood count and other general pathology may be considered based on your symptoms and health history.
-
Where clinically appropriate, additional hormone investigations may be considered based on your presentation, previous results and what we're trying to understand.
Some of our beautiful clients…
“I came away from my appointment feeling so much clearer.”
I’d had blood tests before but never really understood what any of them meant. Having Abbey go through my history, symptoms and results together made such a difference.
Georgia L.“I wish I had done this years ago.”
I thought my PMS and painful periods were just something I had to deal with every month. I felt completely heard and never rushed or dismissed.
Maddison T.“For the first time, I actually felt like someone was looking at the whole picture.”
I’d been dealing with irregular periods and fatigue for years. I loved that my symptoms weren’t looked at separately - Gabby explained everything so clearly and I finally felt like I had a plan.
