Bold. Bright. Beautiful. Health
Health is not optional.
Your capacity to take care of others, your family, your children, your home, and/or our planet, is BIG, INSPIRING, and BEAUTIFUL.
But perhaps while filling up everyone else, sometimes, or even often, your health comes last.
Health is your greatest asset, the currency and fuel to live the life you want to live.
Your health can and should be a priority too.

Any of this sound familiar?
You feel like you’re on a hormonal rollercoaster and it’s not fun.
You’re exhausted and your tank is often running on E
Your period is heavy and/or painful and is starting to live up to the name "Shark Week"
Your family know's when you are "PMS'y" and hide in their rooms
Perimenopause or Menopause is living up to the memes with the hot flashes, achy joints, mood and memory fluctuations, vaginal dryness, and/or body changes
Your vagina is like the Gobi desert
You have things you want to do in your life, and your health is holding you back
Hormone changes are inevitable; Suffering is not.
You deserve to navigate this journey with evidence-based support and guidance. You don't have to face it alone.
Hi. I'm Dr. Kara
Naturopathic Doctor and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP).
I know you’re frustrated. Your health is changing, and you’re not finding the help you need. And that needs to change.
As a leader and educator in menopause healthcare, I have helped thousands of women transform their health through times of hormone transitions. And taught 100’s of other clinicians how to do the same.
As an evidence based Naturopathic Doctor I have comprehensive training to help you understand all the options we have from lifestyle, nutrition, movement, nutritional therapeutics, medications, and all the way up to surgery (lol not by me!). Then we review pros, and cons, and make a strategy together.
You deserve to have big, bold, and vibrant health.
