I am a Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about women receiving the education they deserve to make an informed decision about their bodies and hormone therapy. I have been in healthcare for over 25 years. When I started having perimenopause symptoms that were debilitating and was seeing my PCP and 3 specialists for my symptoms, no one ever mentioned that what I was experiencing could be related to the decline in my hormones. Not one doctor. I was told that I was normal and I was aging. I was 42 years old and on birth control. As the years progressed the symptoms worsened. At age 47 I quit my job as a busy PCP because I did not feel like myself and could not handle it. I then started to research what was wrong with me. After 2 years of researching and reading "Estrogen Matters" (the book that changed my life and career) I started hormone therapy at 49. When the symptoms that I had been experiencing for 7 years went away, I knew I had to educate, inform, and treat other women. As a Nurse Practitioner I did not know what was wrong with me, how is the average woman going to know. I have spent the last 2.5 years exclusively treating women for the symptoms of perimenopause, menopause and post menopause using FDA approved and compounded body identical hormone therapy. I use a holistic, evidence based approach. I have my life back and have helped thousands of women get their lives back too.
