I help women optimize their hormonal health to feel energetic, strong and empowered through each age and stage. Women have a unique and constantly changing hormonal experience through puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause not to mention the daily hormone fluctuations of our menstrual cycles. I work primarily with female patients ages 13-50 , to provide them with healthcare that is tailored to support the female experience. I am a competitive marathon runner and have experienced firsthand how important hormone health is for female athletes. Im passionate about helping other women athletes and fitness enthusiasts achieve their best health & peak performance. Some of the concerns I focus on in my practice include: - Period & hormone concerns (absent/irregular periods, PCOS, hypothalamic amenorrhea, painful periods, heavy periods, teen periods, perimenopause) - Mood concerns (PMS/PMDD, depression, anxiety, insomnia) - Female athlete health (athletic performance, sport nutrition, overtraining, relative-energy deficiency in sport (RED-S), fertility & perinatal health in athletes & return to exercise postpartum) - Nutrition concerns (Nutritional deficiencies, eating disorders, vegan/vegetarian diets) Some of the services I provide include: - Naturopathic Consultations - Prescriptions - Bioidentical hormone therapy/ Menopause hormone therapy - Lab testing - both standard bloodwork and comprehensive testing - IV vitamin therapy, vitamin injections - Intravenous iron for the treatment of iron deficiency/anemia - Pap tests, pelvic exams, and clinical breast exams - Acupuncture Outside of seeing patients one-on-one, I frequently speak on the topic of female athlete health to various sporting organizations, athletes, coaches, and parents. I have had the honor of educating my colleagues on my research and clinical experience treating hypothalamic amenorrhea (lack of periods). I am the founder of the SheCan Athlete Health program, a group medicine program at Restoration Health Clinic for teen female athletes.
