About Us

OUR MISSION

To educate, equip, and support women through hormonal changes that happen to all of us, but are talked about by few of us.

As a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) with over two decades of experience caring for women and individuals in both the office and hospital setting, I am qualified to provide care to individuals throughout their lifetime. While I’ve had the honor of attending nearly 3,000 births, I’ve also specialized in compassionate and inclusive gynecological care using a functional approach.

Over the last several years, I have dedicated myself to learning more about the menopause transition, thyroid health, anti-aging, PCOS, and other issues that affect my patients, friends, and myself. This interest and experience in hormonal health has led me to open The Hormone Midwife at 740 Prince Avenue SUITE 12B in Athens, GA.

I am passionate about women’s healthcare and strive to empower the individuals that I work with through shared decision making rooted in science and blended with integrative therapies.

I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your best health!

Our Values

RADICAL ACCEPTANCE

Everyone (with a vagina) is welcome here. We are dedicated to creating a safe space for you to be heard and treated with the upmost respect. There is nothing that could disqualify you from receiving care from us.

BREAKING CYCLES

We’re in the business of helping women reclaim control of their hormones by talking about what has long been considered taboo. By learning about our bodies and being educated on how they function, we are paving new, healthier paths for the next generation of women.

COMPASSIONATE CONNECTION

The Hormone Midwife offers an alternative to the fast-paced pressures of traditional medicine. Our patients gain an ally in their health journey that ensures their needs are heard and valued. We work with women as they work toward their own definition of wellness.

BALANCE

So much of understanding how to balance your hormones has to do with how you balance every element of your life. Balance, in your internal and external worlds, is our ultimate goal.

AUTONOMY

We believe that autonomy is the key to our patients receiving the best level of care. It is our driving force behind starting a private practice, and the secret sauce to our patients' success. We are here to help you, but we cannot heal you. There is a level of individual agency that must be exercised for this form of treatment to benefit our patients.

EXPERTISE

The Hormone Midwife is an informed expert in this field, and believes in utilizing her knowledge to serve others. With over two decades of experience caring for women and individuals in both the office and hospital setting, I am qualified to provide care to individuals throughout their lifetime.
