What is a Health & Beauty Engineer?

It’s how I describe what I actually do. I’m a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, and I don’t treat one symptom at a time — I look at the whole picture and build a plan around it. Hormones, labs, skin, energy: they’re connected, so I treat them that way.

I help women who know there’s more to the story than being told it’s “just stress,” “just age,” or “just your hormones.” My approach looks at the whole picture — hormones and metabolism, thyroid, gut health, lifestyle, and overall wellness — so we can figure out what may actually be contributing to how you feel. I also care for men, not only with hormone optimization but with aesthetic and regenerative treatments including neurotoxins, biostimulants, regenerative injectables, and personalized skincare. Whether your goal is to feel better, look your best, or both, you deserve a provider who listens and takes your concerns seriously.

What does hormone therapy with you involve?

Hormone therapy with me starts with a comprehensive consultation and detailed lab work, so we understand the bigger picture before deciding on treatment. Depending on your symptoms, history, and goals, I may also recommend additional diagnostic testing such as cortisol testing, GI mapping, nutrient evaluation, or other functional wellness testing. From there I build a personalized treatment plan based on what your body actually needs. That may include hormone replacement, thyroid support, supplements, nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, or addressing other underlying factors contributing to how you feel. There is no one-size-fits-all protocol. We keep monitoring your labs, your symptoms, and your response to treatment, so your plan can be adjusted as your body changes.

My labs came back normal but I still feel awful. Can you help?

That’s a lot of what I do. Optimal is not the same as normal. Your symptoms are real even when a lab reads inside the reference range, and I’ll dig until we understand why — comprehensive testing, read back to you in plain language, then a plan that fits your life.

What happens at a first consult?

We talk, properly. I want your history, your symptoms, and what you’re actually hoping to change. From there we decide what testing makes sense and what a plan could look like. You’ll leave understanding what’s going on and what happens next — no jargon, no rush.

What aesthetic treatments do you offer?

Botox, Dysport, Letybo, Xeomin, Juvéderm and Restylane products, Skinvive and other skin boosters, Radiesse, Sculptra, EZ Gel PRF, PDO threads, smooth threads, facial balancing, and medical-grade skincare. My preference is to create an annual treatment plan rather than simply treat one concern at a time. We look at your skin quality, facial structure, volume loss, movement, and overall goals, then prioritize treatments in the order that will give you the most natural and long-lasting result. For most patients that starts with skincare, because healthy skin is the foundation of great aesthetic results. From there we may incorporate neuromodulators, biostimulants, regenerative treatments, skin boosters, or strategically placed filler as needed. My goal is always for you to leave my treatment chair looking refreshed, not overdone. The best injectable work should be undetectable — people should notice that you look great, not be able to tell exactly what you had done. And sometimes maximizing your aesthetic results means looking beyond the outside. Hormones, nutrition, inflammation, metabolic health, and overall wellness all affect how your skin looks, heals, and responds to treatment, so when it makes sense we optimize you from the inside too.

Do women need testosterone?

Women produce testosterone throughout life, and it plays an important role in energy, muscle mass, mood, cognition, motivation and libido. It is often thought of as a male hormone, but women make it, use it, and absolutely notice when levels begin to decline.

Clinically, I am seeing signs of declining testosterone in women as early as their early thirties. Symptoms can include decreased energy, lower motivation, reduced strength or muscle tone, changes in body composition, lower libido, mood changes, and brain fog.

What I hear most often is not necessarily "my libido is low." It is more often a sense of feeling flat — motivation is not what it used to be, workouts are not producing the same results, mental clarity feels off, or that natural drive and vitality just are not there any more.

Testosterone is also frequently left out of hormone testing altogether, which means a woman can be told she had a "complete" hormone panel when an important part of the picture was never evaluated.

I prefer to assess testosterone alongside the rest of the hormone and metabolic picture rather than in isolation. Whether treatment is appropriate depends on your symptoms, your labs, your medical history, your goals, and how all of it fits together.
