Sigma Wellness & Performance Medicine

My journey into perimenopausal and menopausal care didn’t start in a classroom—it started with my own experience.

While I was completing my Master’s degree and earning my Family Nurse Practitioner certification, I began experiencing significant symptoms myself—mood changes, night sweats, increased anxiety, and brain fog. That experience led me to dive deeply into the research surrounding hormone therapy and women’s midlife health. I wasn’t just learning as a provider—I was searching for answers as a patient.

After graduating, I began working as an aesthetic and wellness Nurse Practitioner at a franchise medi-spa. It was there that I quickly recognized a concerning pattern: a one-size-fits-all, sales-driven approach to hormone and wellness care. It didn’t align with the complexity I was seeing in women—or with the evidence I had been studying.

That realization pushed me to seek out more advanced, evidence-based education. I began working with Midi Health, where I received high-quality training that aligned with both the literature and leading experts in the field. Through telehealth, I cared for women across multiple states—many of whom had limited access to comprehensive peri- and menopausal care, including testosterone therapy, due to restrictions within larger healthcare systems.

At the same time, I continued to invest heavily in my education—completing advanced coursework and ultimately earning my certification as a Menopause Society Certified Provider (MSCP). This has allowed me to provide a higher level of individualized, evidence-based care for women navigating midlife and beyond.

But as my passion for women’s health grew, so did my awareness of another critical issue—the well-being of the providers caring for them.

I saw firsthand the toll that the healthcare system was taking on Nurse Practitioners—many of whom are women themselves, often navigating their own perimenopausal symptoms while carrying heavy patient loads, high stress, and limited support, all while being undervalued in their roles.

That intersection—between women’s health and provider well-being—became a driving force for me.

It led me to look more closely at the business of medicine and ultimately inspired me to build a model of care that supports both: delivering exceptional, individualized care for women, while also creating an environment where Nurse Practitioners are respected, supported, and able to practice at the highest level.

Because when we take care of the women—and the providers who care for them—we elevate the entire standard of care.
