patient portal log inUsing comprehensive testing and the most up-to-date evidence based therapies I build individual step-by-step plans to support women at all stages of motherhood.
It's never too early or too late to start!
As a wife and mother of two, I've personally undergone the profound transformation that comes with motherhood. Women experience substantial physical, mental, and emotional changes while simultaneously learning how to nurture a newborn. This process is inherently demanding, and it becomes even more so when compounded by societal pressures and the expectations we impose on ourselves.
During this overwhelming period, prioritizing your own health can be a challenging task. Although everyone acknowledges the importance of supporting mothers, the existing system often falls short. While the current healthcare system excels at monitoring and supporting the growth and development of babies, my focus is squarely on you, the mother.
I am committed to addressing your immediate care needs and crafting a plan for your long-term well-being. Motherhood is undoubtedly challenging, but feeling good and accessing quality care should not be.
