Menopause brings serious health risks yet most of us do not receive information or treatments to mitigate these risks.
As a busy mother of daughters, my perimenopause health challenges led me to a deep dive into the evidence. Taking the Menopause Society certification exam was the obvious next step and HeyElli, a modern menopause practice was born.
As a Yale graduate, I am obsessed with the latest evidence. I intentionally develop mentoring relationships with other menopause providers so I can bring both the art and the science of modern menopause care to my clients.
My clients want to live vibrant active lives, and appreciate a personalized approach.
"Midwifing menopause" means education about options, hormone balance insights, and holistic guidance around nutrition, movement, mindset, sexuality, and sleep.
I am a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, a Certified Nurse Midwife, and a professor of Nursing.
“I’m incredibly grateful to have found Sarah. From the moment we began working together, I felt completely at ease in her care. She helped me navigate the often confusing and overwhelming journey of perimenopause with clarity, patience, and deep understanding. Every question I had—whether about hormone therapy, emotional transitions, or physical changes—was met with compassion and well-researched, thoughtful answers. I feel so fortunate to be in her care.”
