If your menopause arrived with cancer treatment rather than with time, you already know it doesn't behave the way anyone told you it would. It can happen overnight instead of gradually. It can be more severe.
A recent UK survey of over 1,000 breast cancer survivors found that 99.7% experienced menopausal symptoms, and 96% wanted more support than they received — often with under ten minutes of the entire conversation given to it. If you've felt dismissed, rushed, or like you're expected to just be grateful and get on with it, you are not imagining this. It's a well-documented gap in care, and it has nothing to do with you not coping well enough.
You don't have to choose between "put up with it" and hormones that aren't an option for you. There is a whole-person path through this — and you don't have to find it alone.

​
-
Your menopause began during or after cancer treatment, whether abruptly or gradually
-
You're managing symptoms like hot flushes, sleep disruption, brain fog, joint pain, low mood, or changes to intimacy and desire
-
Your are confused about your medical support options, and unsure where to reach for help
-
You want an integrated approach — nutrition, nervous system regulation, and coaching — rather than being handed a leaflet and sent on your way
-
You're ready for ongoing, personalised support rather than a one-off consultation
-
You need to soften the stress left behind by the diagnosis, explore the new version of yourself, and rediscover what brings you joy, meaning, and purpose.
The Programme could be right for you if...
Hot flushes and night sweats are both a nervous system event and a hormonal one. This is why whole-person, regulation-based approaches like this can help when hormones are not an option.
Meet Silvia Grisendi
Registered Nutritional Therapist (BANT)
Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (FMU-CFMP®)
Registered Health & Wellbeing Coach (UKIHCA)
Registered with the CNHC (accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care, PSA).
After my PhD (Human Oncology), I worked as a cancer research scientist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, then in scientific publishing as an Associate Editor at Nature Publishing Group. Healing my own chronic stress and exhaustion through holistic approaches changed the direction of my life, leading to retraining as a BANT-Registered Nutritional Therapist specialising in women's health and cancer support.
I have since helped hundreds of clients and added multiple modalities to my method, including cancer support-specific qualifications, and certifications in Health Creation® Mentorship; HeartMath® Trauma-Sensitive Coaching; Chronic Fatigue Recovery, Trauma-Sensitive, and Neurodiversity-Aware Coaching (The Chrysalis Effect®).
In my clinical work, I kept meeting the same unmet need in women whose menopause arrived with cancer treatment rather than with time — abruptly, often severely, and almost always under-supported.
With the Layers of Harmony Restoration you will find...

Details and Structure of the Programme
Healing is not linear, and so the rhythm of this programme is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
DURATION Six Months
STRUCTURE: Two Phases (Stabilise + Integrate)
SESSIONS: One in-depth Initial Assessment (90 mins), followed by 6 Follow-Up Sessions (50 mins each)
Throughout, we move fluidly between nutritional therapy and mind-body health & wellbeing coaching depending on what you need most, while nervous system regulation runs as a continuous thread underneath everything we do.
You'll always know what phase you're in and what to expect from it — but within that structure, each session is shaped around what your body and nervous system actually need that week, not a script decided in advance.
PHASE ONE: Stabilise
(first six weeks)
1
We begin with a comprehensive assessment, mapping your physiology, your hormonal patterns, and what rebuilding life looks like for you right now.
From there, we meet every two weeks for two further sessions. These are placed close enough together to build real momentum while your body and mind are doing the deepest work of coming out of survival mode.
PHASE TWO: Integrate
(remaining 4 months)
2
As your system stabilises, sessions space out to once a month for four sessions, giving your room to actually live the changes rather than just learn them.
Between monthly sessions, short check-ins keep you supported and accountable, without needing a full session every time.
Investment
£ 850
(save £25 by paying in full)​
or 2 payments of £ 500 + £ 375
if you prefer to split the cost - total £ 875 (second payment due at start of Phase Two)
[Sessions to be used within 8 months of your start date]
