Well Body Care
Body and pelvic care that puts you first, and not your chart.
We want you to feel good in your body.
Our midwives practice with trauma-informed and gender-expansive care and offer compassionate appointment options. Many health screenings can happen without disrobing, and without touch. And should touch be necessary, consensual interactions are always a priority. Our care includes:
any urinary or pelvic floor concerns
chest/breast health and assessment
testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (also known as STIs)
decisions and referrals about hormone treatment for folks who are transgender and transitioning (and what to consider if pregnancy is future goal)
emotional wellness and holding space for challenges
holistic and pharmacological mental health support, resources and referrals
lifelong wellness regarding nutritional education, exercise, and other preventative health
optimizing sexual health—validating concerns about comfort and difficulties and holding space for changes and exploration
ways to avoid pregnancy, including insertions like IUDs and prescriptions for hormonal contraceptives
whole body care, screenings and lab work, sometimes called an annual exam
your menstrual health and what your cycles have been like for you, if you have them
on site blood draws for testing and screening
Periods aren’t taboo here.
The changes that come with puberty can feel overwhelming. We want to take the shame out of discussing what is happening and what you can expect.
Our Midwives would love to be your educators and advocates to help you through the feelings, nutritional needs, and physical changes that come with menstrual cycles.
And, when you are ready, we always hope intercourse is safe and consensual for all parties involved. We can be a place to seek care for changing intimate needs.
Perimenopause + Menopause
Maturing into the phase of life after the possibility of conception means you will have different needs. While the myth of menopause has focused on fertility being most important, new research shows what many living postmenopausal already know: Life is still vibrant and meaningful after your periods end! We want to help you navigate what’s happening and have thoughtful conversations about your goals and your body’s needs.
