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.
