Healthy hormones

women & hormones

As someone with four sisters and three children of her own Dr. Maggie loves helping women navigate their hormonal journey.  

She works with women’s health through the ages, starting with young women who deserve to be educated about their body and menstrual cycles.  

She provides support during pregnancy and post partum and, as a busy mom herself, Maggie works with other moms to stay healthy and feel good while they raise their families and balance work and home. 

She also helps navigate women through the hormonal changes that accompany the peri-menopausal years, advocating for women to speak up, and ask for help with their symptoms. Maggie has seen naturopathic care transform common menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and weight gain.
