I’M MELISSA. FOUNDER OF LIVVE.

I’m Melissa Sookia, a Registered British Menopause Society Menopause Specialist, and a Member of the International Menopause Society.

After more than two decades working across community pharmacy, hospital practice, and GP settings, and over 15 years as a prescriber, I have seen a consistent pattern.

Many women seeking perimenopause, menopause and hormonal care face long waits, inconsistent guidance, and treatment plans that are either too general or difficult to access.

Important symptoms are often minimised or treated in isolation rather than assessed as part of a wider hormonal and metabolic picture. They are normalised and endured rather than evaluated and treated. Even when treatment is prescribed, it’s not always adequately monitored or optimised.

LIVVE was created to close the gap between need and availability by offering HRT and weight management services through a regulated and affordable specialist pharmacy model.

At LIVVE, care is structured, evidence based, and tailored to the individual. We combine perimenopause and menopause expertise, prescribing experience, and pharmacy oversight with modern digital access so that women can receive thorough assessment and appropriate treatment without unnecessary barriers.

You should not be expected to live with unresolved symptoms. You should have access to specialist support, informed choices, and treatment that is designed around your health, your goals, and your stage of life.

Your health. Your hormones. Your choice. 

Love, Melissa, MPharm MRPharmS

Our Purpose.

LIVVE exists to make high-quality perimenopause, menopause and weight management support more accessible, more precise, and more responsive.

Across both public and private systems, women frequently report:

Difficulty securing timely menopause consultations

Inconsistent prescribing approaches

Limited symptom assessment beyond the most obvious indicators

Insufficient integration of weight, metabolic health, and hormonal care

A lack of continuity and follow-up

Higher costs and a revolving door of practitioners

A different Approach.

Flexible

Consultations are booked at times that fit your schedule, without extended waiting periods. We assess the full spectrum of recognised perimenopause and menopause symptoms and related metabolic factors, not just the most visible signs.

Bespoke

Your plan is built around your symptom profile, medical background, and treatment response. Prescriptions are dispensed through a GPhC registered online pharmacy and delivered directly to your door. No stock shortages.

Long-Term

Secure reordering and follow-up consultations available when needed. Hormonal and metabolic care requires review and adjustment and we’re with you every step of the way.
