My mom died when I was a tween and my Dad, bless his heart, really had no idea what to do with two girls in this department. I had a box of ENORMOUS pads thrown at me in the back of the bathroom and I’m pretty sure I was laughed at. I could have done without the shame and humiliation from him and my older sister but maybe that’s one of the hills I had to climb to help me make my way to becoming a doctor specializing in hormones and women’s health! I love what I do and am here to help. I never had a lot of support during these life and body changes. If you feel it is important to have someone to go to that will take your questions seriously and give you the space to share, this is a great place to start. It gives you the opportunity to connect on a personal level with open curiosity as well as to gain valuable knowledge on the medical side of things.

After 20 years of practicing medicine I have just about heard it all. I love a good shocking surprise about sex or hormones so bring it on!

In all seriousness, though, what I have heard the most from women from 15 to 75 is, “Oh, I didn’t know that, no one ever talks about that.”

Let’s talk about it and change the narrative so young women can transform & evolve. We can create community and support around your changing bodies to feel informed and empowered. Metamorphosis.
