For Black Women Who Are Done Being Dismissed
You've Been Told You're Fine.
You Know You're Not.
Personalized midlife care for Black women 35+ navigating perimenopause, menopause, hormonal changes, and metabolic shifts — even when the usual answers haven’t explained why they don’t feel like themselves.
Virtual care available in NY · CT · MA · FL
Something Has Changed. You Can Feel It.
Maybe you’re waking at 3 AM, your periods have changed, your energy is off, or your mood, focus, libido, digestion, or weight no longer feel familiar.
And yet you may have been told everything looks “normal.”
We look at your symptoms, history, and labs together to identify the bigger pattern — and what deserves attention next.
Understanding Your Body
You're Not Imagining It.
Midlife changes can affect sleep, mood, cognition, metabolism, body composition, sexual health, and more — often at the same time.
That’s why we look at the full clinical picture, not one symptom or lab value in isolation.

Mariama-Seray Barrie
FNP-BC, MSCP
I built this practice because I needed it — and it didn't exist. After 15 years watching Black women get dismissed at one of the most important health transitions of their lives, I was done watching it happen. I went through it myself. I know what it costs to keep showing up to appointments and leaving without answers.
I'm a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and one of a small number of clinicians in the country with the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) credential. This is the only thing I do.

Feeling like yourself again isn't just possible—it's within reach.
