Lyvia Health was founded to fill a gap — expert, unhurried private GP care for women aged 35–65 who were tired of being rushed, dismissed, or told to come back in six weeks.
There is a group of women who fall through the gaps. They are past the chaos of early motherhood, not yet elderly, and often at a point in life where their health — their skin, their hormones, their weight — starts to shift in ways that feel hard to explain and harder to get help with.
In NHS general practice, ten-minute appointments leave little room for the kind of conversation these concerns deserve. Specialist waiting lists stretch to months. Private dermatology and gynaecology can feel clinical, expensive, and disconnected from the rest of a person's health.
Lyvia Health was built to be something different. Two GPs with specialist training in the areas that matter most to this group of women — skin, hormones, and weight — offering private digital consultations that are genuinely thorough, genuinely personal, and accessible from home.
We are not here to replace the NHS. We are here to offer the time, depth and access that complements it.
"Private care that feels personal, not transactional."
Lyvia Health is a private digital clinic — consultations via video and secure messaging, private prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice, and follow-up built in as standard.
Two GPs. Genuine specialist training. The same faces every time.
Dr Nafisa is a practising GP with a dermatology diploma and specialist menopause training to BMS standards. She has a particular interest in the intersection of skin health and hormonal change — an area that disproportionately affects women in midlife and is too often left unaddressed in routine care.
Her approach is thorough, unhurried and direct. She believes that women deserve detailed explanations, not summaries — and that private care should feel like a genuine conversation, not a transaction.
Dr Mahreen is a practising GP with a dermatology diploma and specialist clinical interest in skin conditions. She brings careful, evidence-based dermatological assessment to every consultation — combined with the broad clinical perspective of an experienced GP.
She is known for her thorough history-taking and her ability to explain complex skin conditions and treatment plans clearly and without jargon.
Every consultation is long enough to actually understand the problem. We don't watch the clock.
Specialist training in the areas we treat. Not a general interest — a genuine clinical focus that shows in every consultation.
We tell you what we can and can't help with. We refer when we need to. We never overpromise.
Online, from home, at a time that suits you. Private care shouldn't require a day off work.
