For years now, women across the country have been asking me the same question.
“Can you see me?”
“Can you consult with me?”
“Can you help me, even if I do not live near you?”
I have felt the weight of that request deeply.
Right now in the United States, approximately 11,000 women enter perimenopause or menopause every single day. At the same time, we have roughly one certified menopause provider for every 30,000 women who need care.
One provider for 30,000 patients.
That gap is not just a statistic. It is a lived reality. It is the woman being told her symptoms are normal aging. It is the executive powering through brain fog. It is the mother not sleeping. It is the athlete watching her recovery change. It is the woman who knows something is off but cannot find someone trained to help her.
And I have been asked endlessly to step in.
So I am listening.
Why I Am Launching Consulting
As Cofounder and Chief Medical Officer of The Pause Technologies, my mission has always been larger than a single practice. We are building digital infrastructure, access, and scalable solutions because women deserve precision, evidence based perimenopause and menopause care wherever they live.
Consulting allows me to expand my reach beyond geography while continuing to support women at a high level. It allows me to provide expert case review and strategy guidance, support complex hormone optimization cases, help women advocate for themselves within their local care teams, and guide performance, longevity, and cardiometabolic strategies during midlife.
This is not about replacing local practitioners. It is about elevating care standards and closing the gap. When there is one trained menopause provider for every 30,000 women, we cannot afford to wait for the system to catch up. We must build parallel solutions.
The Bigger Mission
The Pause Technologies was founded to contribute to perimenopause and menopause care by addressing the clinical gap, the technology gap, and the education gap. Consulting is a natural extension of that mission because the reality is simple: women are ready, women are informed, and women are no longer willing to accept dismissal. As 11,000 women per day transition into perimenopause and menopause in the United States alone, the need for accessible expertise is only accelerating. This is not a niche issue. It is a public health movement.
If you have reached out asking for support across state or country lines, searching for a second opinion, navigating a complex history, or focused on longevity and performance during midlife, I see you. And now there is a pathway.
