Get back the week
you lose to PMS
every month.
Your thoughts get loud and you completely unravel over something that wouldn't have touched you a week ago. You pick fights, then cry after, or go quiet and disappear for days. Then the sweet relief of your period comes, the fog lifts, and you go back to normal but you spend the week apologising for a woman your partner barely recognised, as you dread the next crash.
This isn't your personality, and it isn't something you have to suffer with for the next twenty years.
I'm Florence Seck, a qualified Nutritional Therapist and Somatic Movement Coach. I work with the physical and the emotional roots of PMS together, because when combined the week before your period can become a week you enjoy, where you actually get to live your life.

Watch it freeDoes this sound like you?
For five to ten days a month you become someone else…
You're snapping at the people you love, crying at things that wouldn't have touched you two weeks earlier, and then your period finally comes and it's an intense relief.
Nobody should have to plan their whole life around one week of every cycle.
- Racing and feeling like you completely unravel over something that wouldn't have touched you at ovulation.
- Fights or disconnection with your partner, followed by overthinking, wondering if you're ruining things, or if you should just leave.
- Feeling like you can't stop eating, or you can't eat at all, and either way it feels like you're totally out of control.
- Nights spent awake at 3am with a mind that won't switch off, then feeling wrecked by 3pm the next day.
- Conversations with "experts" that tell you it's normal, or that you're using PMS as an excuse, and that make you feel invisible.
- Exhaustion having tried everything from magnesium and tracking apps, to the pill, and more exercise. Some of it helped a little, but none of it created real relief.
What's actually happening
Your body isn't betraying you. It's running out of support.
When progesterone falls away in the final week, an under-nourished, over-stretched body has no reserves to draw on. The real work isn't "balancing hormones", it's building a body that can stay steady as the hormones fall.
This is where most PMS symptoms come from
For every woman, the cause will be a unique combination but some of the most common are blood sugar crashes, depleted nutrients, inflammation, poor liver elimination, poor gut health, suppressed emotions - all often underpinned by a nervous system that has been in survival mode for years.
Support the body, and the overwhelm, rage, anxiety, exhaustion ease together, because your body has the capacity and resilience to stay steady through the hormonal changes.
You're not crazy, my love.
(even if you feel like it in the luteal week)
Up to three in four women live with premenstrual symptoms, and for around one in twenty they're severe enough to disrupt work, relationships and health. It might be common, but that doesn't mean that it's normal or that you have to just accept this is your life.
And there's one more piece almost nobody mentions: PMS isn't just a physical thing. It is so often everything you've held in all month finally coming out. All the times you meant no but said yes, the movement you felt hurt but you didn't voice, the unmet needs you didn't know how to express. All these things sit just under the surface, and when your capacity drops in luteal week, they burst out in a meltdown, or explosion that feels far bigger than the moment.
Whatever your PMS looks like
Whether it's the pain, the moods, or both, this is for you.
PMS has over a hundred documented symptoms, and most women only ever get help with one or two of them, a supplement for the cramps, an app for the mood, nothing that treats it as one thing. I work across all of it, because it all comes from the same place.
The moods
- Irritability and rage that frightens you
- Crying over things that wouldn't touch you at ovulation
- Anxiety, dread and a racing chest
- Flat, hopeless low mood, and shame afterwards
The body
- Bloating, constipation or loose stools
- No appetite at all, or eating everything in sight
- Breakouts along the jaw and chin
- Fluid retention and heaviness
- Cravings you cannot reason with
The energy
- Exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix
- Waking at 3am with racing thoughts
- Afternoon crashes that feel like wading through mud
- Wanting to cancel everything and hide
The mind
- Brain fog and losing your words mid-sentence
- Being unable to make simple decisions
- Sensory overwhelm, noise, light, people
- Harsh self-criticism knocking your confidence
What it costs you
- The same argument with your partner, every single month
- Snapping at children or colleagues
- Work you have to push through, hoping no one notices
- Planning your whole month around one week
- Wondering if the people you love are losing patience with you
You don't need to have the "worst" version of it to deserve support.
The PMS Solution Method
Nourish. Regulate. Express.
Most practitioners lead with lab panels and a diet plan, then add a little "mindset" at the end. I sequence it the other way round, because a dysregulated nervous system will undermine even a perfect protocol, and you cannot nutrition your way out of a feeling you never had the space to have.
Step One
Nourish
PMS is not a mood problem, it's a hormone problem with a metabolic root. Blood sugar crashes spike cortisol, which steals from progesterone. Low magnesium, B6 and omega-3s leave you inflamed and depleted. A sluggish gut recycles the oestrogen you were meant to eliminate. That combination is exactly what produces cramps, sore breasts, bloating, headaches, cravings and the 3pm collapse in your luteal week. We fix that first, because when your body has what it needs to make and clear hormones properly, the physical half of PMS is relieved.
Step Two
Regulate
Your luteal phase is when progesterone falls and serotonin dips, the one week a month your nervous system has the least buffer. If you're already running in survival mode, that dip is where the rage, the anxiety, the crying at nothing, the insomnia and the brain fog come from. It isn't weakness, it's a stressed system losing its last bit of padding. We map your own stress patterns and build small daily tools, breath, movement, slowness, pleasure, so the luteal shift meets a steady body instead of an exhausted one.
Step Three
Express
There's a reason your feelings arrive on schedule. In the days before you bleed, the filter that keeps you accommodating everyone else comes down, and everything you've held in all month, the anger, the grief, the unmet needs, surfaces at once. Suppressing it keeps your body braced and your stress load high, which feeds straight back into your symptoms. Somatic movement gives that held emotion a way out, so it stops erupting as irritability, tears and shame, and your premenstrual week becomes something to understand rather than a destructive force.
Science and somatics together, that's why this is different.

What changes when we get to the root.
“In the last three months doing this treatment, my periods have just gotten better and better to the point where my last cycle I had no premenstrual symptoms, no breast pain, no mood swings and no extreme tiredness. And the period itself was only two to three days long and only had half a day of pain.”
“The last 3 days before it arrived were very dreamy and I felt very clear-headed. Only one day of full PMS madness last Friday, instead of ten days.”
“I have gone from having horrendously painful periods and regular breakouts to forgetting my period is coming up, because I don't have any PMS symptoms anymore, and the pain itself has reduced so much.”
Video testimonial coming soon
Hello, I'm Florence.
I know what it is to be told your period pain and PMS are normal,
because I was told that too, for years, and I believed it, until I decided I was done living that reality, and went and did my own research.
First the science, a year studying biomedicine, then completion of a naturopathic nutrition diploma. I followed this, with deep somatic movement training. With this extensive training, I've spent the ten years since understanding my own cycle first, then supporting women in my women's hormone clinic.
This is what I do. The week before your period, in every form it takes, and how to give it back to you.
