“Just as abnormal blood pressure, heart rate, or respiratory rate may be key to the diagnosis of potentially serious health conditions, identification of abnormal menstrual patterns through adolescence may permit early identification of potential health concerns for adulthood.” - American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2015)

Have you gone to the doctor with concerns about your reproductive, gynecologic, metabolic, or skin health only to leave with a prescription for hormonal birth control? If so, you are not alone. 1 in 3 women take hormonal contraceptives for non-contraceptive reasons such as irregular bleeding, excessive pain or cramping, acne, PMS, etc. (Guttmacher). Therefore, problems are not identified and treated. If you’re anything like me, you want to be fully informed about the decisions you make for your health. I am passionate about helping women identify root causes of cycle dysfunction and hormone abnormalities. One of my greatest joys is empowering women to take charge of their health by equipping them with tools to understand the biological markers of their reproductive system. Biomarkers are signs our bodies give us to know if we are living in an optimal state of health and wellbeing.

I believe that women’s empowerment starts with education. In the world today, women provided with body literacy education are the minority. Together, let’s change the narrative. Together, let’s renew the face of women’s healthcare in America.
