I take a comprehensive, root-cause approach to hormonal health.
Together, we look at your cycle as a whole to understand what’s contributing to your symptoms and how to support your body in a way that feels sustainable and effective.
This includes:
- Personalized treatment plans
- A safe, supportive environment
- Ongoing care as your needs evolve
PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) refers to the combination of physical and emotional symptoms that can occur in the one to two weeks before your period.
These symptoms are unique to each person and can vary widely in intensity.
When emotional symptoms become severe enough to interfere with daily life, this may be referred to as PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder).
Hormonal fluctuations throughout your cycle can significantly impact mood, energy, stress tolerance, sleep, and physical comfort.
When left unsupported, it can feel like you’re losing half of every month.
We work together to understand your unique cycle and create a plan that supports you at every stage.
This may include:
- In-depth intake, lab testing, and symptom tracking
- Identifying root causes and contributing factors
- Customized, targeted treatment plans
- Ongoing coaching and monitoring
- Long-term support and maintenance
The goal is to help you feel more stable, supported, and in control of your body and your mood.
The 5 Pillars of Hormonal & Mood Support
Identifying Barriers
We begin with a comprehensive intake, lab testing, and symptom tracking to understand your patterns and identify what’s contributing to your symptoms.
Supporting the Foundations
We address key areas like stress, digestion, environmental exposures, and hormonal balance to create a strong foundation for long-term improvement.
Targeted & Personalized Support
Based on your results, we develop a customized plan—often including targeted supplementation and, when appropriate, bioidentical hormones.
Ongoing Support & Monitoring
We actively track your progress and adjust your plan to ensure it fits into your life and is creating meaningful, lasting change.
Long-Term Maintenance
Once symptoms improve, we shift toward maintaining your results and helping you feel confident managing your health long-term.
You’re Not Alone
Living with PMS or PMDD can feel frustrating, exhausting, and isolating—but it’s not something you have to manage on your own. With the right support, it’s possible to feel more stable, more supported, and more like yourself throughout your entire cycle.
If you’re struggling with PMS, PMDD, or mood changes throughout your cycle, I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
