Steady: At Home in Your Body

Steady is a six-month, one-on-one program with Dr. Jada MacLeod, ND, a naturopath for stress and burnout, that brings together metabolic health and nervous system regulation. For women who are ready for a deeper kind of care, where your body chemistry and your body’s sense of safety are supported together.

Does this sound familiar?

You've tried to fix it piece by piece

  • You feel wired but tired, anxious, or close to burnout
  • Your energy crashes, cravings pull at you, and your blood sugar feels like a rollercoaster
  • Your sleep is light, and your body feels on edge more often than not
  • Midlife and perimenopause changes have made everything feel harder to manage
  • You’ve changed how you eat, taken the supplements, maybe had labs done, and still don’t feel like yourself
  • Stress seems to land in your body: your gut, your cravings, your sleep, your shoulders
  • You sense that past experiences or long seasons of stress are still affecting your health
When the nervous system has been on high alert for a long time, the body tends to stay in protection mode, and metabolism, sleep and energy often follow. Steady is designed to support both sides at once.

A deeper approach

Two systems, one plan

Most care focuses on one or the other. In Steady, we work with both.

Metabolic health

  • A thorough naturopathic assessment
  • Lab testing and review, where appropriate
  • A personalized nutrition plan
  • Supplement recommendations tailored to you

Nervous system regulation

  • Somatic Experiencing (SE) to help your body release stored stress
  • Building your capacity to feel calm, grounded and present
  • In person: acupuncture and energy work
  • Simple practices to use between visits

How the six months unfold

Your path through the program

1

Phase 1

Foundations

We begin with a 75-minute initial visit to understand your history, symptoms and goals. Together we set up your foundations: lab testing and review, nutrition and supplements.
2

Phase 2

Regulate & Restore

Once your foundations are in place, our visits focus on nervous system work with Somatic Experiencing. In person, sessions can also include acupuncture and energy work.
3

Phase 3

Integrate

We review your progress, fine-tune your plan and build the skills and rhythms that help you stay steady long after the program ends.

What's included

Support during visits and in between

  • A 75-minute initial visit with a full naturopathic assessment
  • 60-minute follow-up visits about every 3 weeks, roughly eight visits over six months
  • Lab testing and review, where appropriate
  • A personalized nutrition and supplement plan
  • Somatic Experiencing sessions, plus acupuncture and energy work in person
  • Messaging between visits through your secure client portal
  • Recorded practices to help your body settle at home
  • Resources and handouts, including recipes, meal ideas and worksheets

Whole-person care

Naturopathic care for stress, burnout and metabolic health

Steady is for women in Ottawa and across Ontario who are dealing with stress, anxiety or burnout alongside metabolic concerns like low energy, cravings and blood sugar swings. Many are also navigating perimenopause, when these patterns often show up together.
As both a naturopathic doctor and a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, Dr. Jada combines lab-informed naturopathic care with body-based nervous system work. It’s one plan that looks at your body chemistry and your stress response side by side.

Your guide

Hi, I'm Dr. Jada MacLeod, ND

For 17 years I’ve worked with women whose health concerns didn’t make sense until we looked at the nervous system underneath them. Nutrition and supplements matter. So does the body’s sense of safety.
I created Steady to bring together everything I’ve learned, as a naturopathic doctor, a Somatic Experiencing practitioner and an energy worker, into one deeper, more connected program.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a gentle, body-based approach that helps the nervous system release stress and return to a more settled state. Sessions involve noticing sensations in the body, at a pace that feels manageable.

No. SE works with how your body is responding now. You’re always in charge of what you share, and we go at your pace. This is not therapy and Dr. Jada MacLeod will refer you for co-treatment with a therapist if needed. 

After your 75-minute initial visit, follow-ups are 60 minutes, about every 3 weeks. That’s roughly eight visits over six months, adjusted to your needs.

No. Virtual visits are available anywhere in Ontario. Naturopathic care and Somatic Experiencing both work well online. Acupuncture and energy work are available at in-person visits at Healing House in Ottawa.

Many women come to Steady in midlife, when stress, sleep, energy and blood sugar changes often show up together. Your plan takes your stage of life and hormonal changes into account.

Lasting change in both metabolism and the nervous system takes time. Six months gives us room to set up your foundations, do the deeper nervous system work, and help you integrate it into daily life.

Many extended health plans cover naturopathic visits. Check with your provider to confirm your coverage.
