working with women to achieve optimal health and wellbeing

our services

Adolescent Gynecological healthcare.

Our model of care emphasizes education and family-centered care throughout the lifespan, which makes us ideal care providers for adolescents. We promote healthy behaviors and facilitate the development of lifelong positive lifestyle choices with our adolescent clients. We provide developmentally appropriate care, respect the growing independence, privacy, and learning needs of the maturing individual.  

Well Women Gynecological Healthcare.

Women are encouraged to schedule well women gyn visits annually. There are two types of annual gynecological visits available: The BASIC ANNUAL GYN VISIT and the COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL GYN VISIT

  • The BASIC ANNUAL GYN VISIT includes a personalized assessment of your gynecologic health, a head to toe exam, including a breast exam, pelvic exam, pap smear if indicated, and STI testing if desired.

  • The COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL GYN VISIT includes everything in the basic annual plus an assessment of your overall health and wellness. During a comprehensive annual gynecological visit, we look at your nutrition, exercise regimen, stress levels, work-life balance, emotional well being, sexual health, and we do comprehensive blood work.  Once your blood work results are available, we meet again for a follow-up visit to review the results and make a plan to better your overall health.

Gynecological Problem-FOCUSED HEALTHCARE

Gynecological health issues, whatever they may be…irregular cycles, infection, incontinence, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, insomnia, mood swings, etc…deserve the time and attention needed to find the root cause and the appropriate treatment plan. We are here to assess and help you manage your gynecological issues through the use of lifestyle modifications, herbs, supplements, hormones, medications, and referrals to various treatment modalities, such as chiropractic care, acupuncture, physical therapy, etc.

Birth control.

Choosing which type of birth control is right for you is a very personal choice that depends on many different factors.  We are here to help guide you through this decision by providing education about the different types of birth control, as well as which would be best for you based on your lifestyle and your medical and family history.  We offer birth control consults to discuss all of your options, including natural family planning,  oral contraceptives, IUDs, condoms, diaphragms, and more. We also offer birth control initiation visits after you’ve considered all your options and done your research, and finally, birth control follow-up visits to  periodically assess how you are feeling on your current form of birth control. 

Women’s Health counseling.

So many clients love coming for their annual exams each year. The often say, “I feel like I got the best pelvic exam ever, a nutrition consult, and a therapy session all in one!” That’s because at most of our visits, overall health, including nutrition, exercise, stress, work-life balance, relationships, and everything that pertains to your health comes up in conversation. We believe that every aspect of your life makes up your overall health, so of course we talk about all of it! But that doesn’t just have to be a conversation you have once a year at your annual exam. If you desire to discuss your overall health, set some attainable goals, and need help achieving them, we are here to help with that too! From adolescence through post-menopause, we’re available to help hold you accountable through regulary scheduled health counseling sessions.

Perimenopause and menopause support.

Starting as early as your mid 30s, the hormone levels in your body may start to change, and you start the transition into menopause. You may find that your periods become irregular and unpredictable—sometimes heavier, sometimes lighter, coming less often or more often. This time of transition is called perimenopause. It can last for many years. When your periods have stopped completely for 1 year, you will have reached menopause. For most individuals, this occurs at about 51 years of age, but it may happen a few years earlier or later. Through lifestyle modifications, nutrition, exercise, stress management, herbs, supplements and hormone therapy, we are here to help you manage the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, decreased libido, vaginal dryness, brain fog, weight gain, etc.
