Meet Our Provider
The Process
​
01
After reviewing your intake form, you’ll have a 60 minute initial consultation. We’ll dive into your experiences, symptoms, and health history. You can ask questions and discuss your goals for this life stage. It’s about building a treatment partnership and ensuring you feel understood, not just gathering information.
03
A follow-up appointment 3 months after starting treatment will allow us to assess your initial response and make any necessary adjustments. We’ll also meet again at the 6-month mark where we often observe significant improvements and can further refine your treatment plan. A 30 minute follow-up can also be booked at any time you feel the need to review new symptoms or your current treatment plan.
​
​
After our initial consultation, we’ll have a 45 minute follow up to create your unique treatment plan. This isn’t one-size-fits-all—we might recommend hormone therapy, non-hormonal options, lifestyle changes, nutrition support, or a combination. We’ll explain all options, discussing benefits and potential risks, ensuring you are happy.

04
Once you are on your way to feeling improved, a yearly review is done. This is to ensure you are still feeling well, to review your goals, treatment plan, make any necessary changes and renew any prescriptions.
