Know the Feeling?
Whether you’re just beginning to offer hormone replacement therapy or you’ve been prescribing it off and on for years, you’ve probably felt the surge of interest. Patients are asking for it. Colleagues are talking about it. It feels like an exciting time in women’s health.
But once you get past the enthusiasm, the real questions start. How do you do this well? How do you individualize care instead of handing out the same protocols to everyone?
Because effective HRT shares all the complexity of whole-body, functional medicine – it’s rarely just about estrogen or progesterone. It incorporates thyroid support, adrenal support, metabolization challenges. What might seem simple quickly shows itself to be both nuanced and complex. As a practitioner, you’re left deciding how to begin in a way that’s meaningful, grounded, and manageable for both of you.
Clinical Mentorship
Rooted in Real-World Practice
I know what it’s like. Hormone Replacement Therapy is powerful—but it’s also demanding. I’ve seen many practitioners get excited and get stuck – unsure on the how. How to help patients feel genuinely better. How to avoid common pitfalls. How to create plans that are both effective and well tolerated.
That’s why I offer clinical consulting for stuck functional medicine providers. Together, we’ll take a grounded, practical approach to navigate the complexity of HRT and functional medicine and treat challenging cases with clarity. Let’s create systems that build success and retention.
Where Fellowship Meets Function
There are wonderful programs out there that’ll teach you how to run a practice—the bookkeeping, the hiring, the scaling. But that’s not what this is.
This is practitioner-to-practitioner mentorship. A space where you can bring your real questions, your stuck points, your head-scratchers—and be met with honesty, experience, and absolutely zero judgment.
What we do together is about fellowship and clarity—helping you find your way through the complex web of functional medicine. It’s also about stewardship: practicing with integrity and care so we can truly serve the people who trust us with their healing.
Stop Overthinking. Start Treating.
I’m particularly effective at seeing the threads between symptoms and pinpointing where treatment will have the most impact.
When we work together, we’ll implement my practical, flexible framework to help you navigate your patient cases. We’ll walk through four key decision points you can apply to every tough case:
- Clarify your patient’s goals and core questions
- Identify your next steps – test or treat?
- Recognize knowledge gaps worth pursuing
- Own your specialties and know when to refer out confidently
This isn’t about rigid protocols—it’s about learning how to think more clearly in the moment, so you can take decisive action, improve patient outcomes, and build a practice that runs smoothly.
Together, we’ll turn clinical uncertainty and endless options into confidence and satisfied patients who build your referral network.
Frequently Asked
You might have found your way here while searching for hormone replacement therapy education, alternative management for menopause, or women's hormone replacement therapy. Or perhaps you were looking for more specific training like BHRT education, advanced BHRT education, or a BHRT education workshop.
Wherever you’re coming from, you’re in the right place. Hormone prescribing can be nuanced, I have years of experience prescribing both BHRT and HRT as part of comprehensive, real-world treatment plans. Explore my FAQs for more details.
Who is this for?
If you're curious, thoughtful, dedicated—and wary of cookie-cutter solutions—you’re in the right place. My mentorship sessions are for providers who want to run their practice with more clarity, confidence, and integrity.
Most of my mentees have done their own (sometimes extensive) training in functional medicine, and are seeking a specialized knowledge set, a fresh perspective, or both.
I've spoken with hundreds of overwhelmed practitioners, and my colleagues often describe me as direct, grounded, and deeply rooted in the philosophy of our medicine. My strength lies in making complex systems understandable, and in knowing when it’s time to return to first principles to find direction. In our work together, I use plain language, clear reasoning, and a collaborative approach to help you elevate your clinical thinking, and sharpen your treatment plans.
I work with prescribing providers within the functional medicine paradigm - Medical Doctors, Doctors of Osteopathy, Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistants, and Naturopathic Doctors.
What are your specialties?
If you’re looking for guidance on tough cases, I’m happy to consult. I've spent 10+ as a naturopathic physician addressing a broad range of symptom sets, then spent last few years specializing in hormone replacement therapy testing and prescribing, so I most often support practitioners with cases involving:
- Hormone prescribing and interpretation
- Perimenopause and hormonal transitions
- Thyroid management and fatigue
- Gastrointestinal health and diet diversification
Do you offer packages?
Yes, I offer a three-month package. We'll meet for three hours each month to catch up on your current cases. If you've been prescribing for a while, you know that it can take time for hormone therapies to show results. The three month package is a great way to track a few of your cases over their treatment arc and to grow in clarity as a prescriber. These packages start at $3,655.
A la carte mentoring sessions are also available starting at $215 for 30 minutes.
What can I expect to achieve from our work together?
Your needs and preferences will lead our sessions, but here are some outcome goals for the providers I work with.
- Lead with the Patient, Not the Protocol
Start treatment planning with the individual. Let patient needs and goals guide the approach, while applying clinical expertise to design the plan. Harmonize your hormone prescribing with your entire functional medicine treatment plan. - Hone Your Diagnostic Toolbox
Deepen your comfort with your diagnostic tools. Ensure that every dollar your patient spends on testing contributes meaningfully to their treatment plan. Help patients maximize their resources and act with integrity in every therapeutic decision. - Get So Effective, Referrals Follow Naturally
Deliver efficient, patient-centered care that turns patients into advocates. Satisfied patients naturally refer others (and they tend to know who's a good fit) allowing you to work with people you enjoy and build a more aligned practice.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
― E.F. Schumacher
As a second-generation functional medicine practitioner and third generation physician, I grew up in the clinic. I watched my mother, an MD, push back on the conventional medical model and do the deep thinking required to make real progress for her patients.
After 10 years running my own practice, I'm passionate about stewarding functional medicine into the future. That’s why I offer mentorship sessions; to help my colleagues cut through the overwhelm, think more clearly, and bring more focus and confidence to their treatment approach. Because when we have a stream-lined approach, we have satisfied patients who create a robust referral network and a rewarding career in medicine.
