COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR MIDLIFE WELLNESS
Care That Was Built Around You — Not Adjusted For You.
Every program starts with your labs, builds around your biology, and adjusts as your body changes. This is what care looks like when it was never one-size-fits-all to begin with.
what makes sistah pause different
All our care is fundamentally:
Expert-Led
Board-certified clinical expertise meets deep cultural understanding. We use comprehensive lab testing and evidence-based medicine to get to the root of your symptoms—not just manage them. Your care is guided by a provider who sees you, understands your lived experience, and has the training to treat you with precision.
1
Personalized
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to Black women's hormonal health. Every treatment plan is built around your labs, your symptoms, and your goals. Whether you need hormone therapy, metabolic support, or a combination approach, we design a plan that works for your body and your life—and adjust it as you progress.
2
Holistic
We treat the whole woman—body, mind, and spirit. From hormone optimization to nutrition guidance, stress management, and community support, we address every factor affecting your wellness. Not ready for hormone therapy? We also offer supplement protocols and wellness therapies. You're not just symptoms; you're a person navigating a major transition.
3
Accessible
Virtual care means no commute, no waiting rooms, and no rushing through traffic for a 15-minute appointment. Meet with your provider from anywhere in NY, CT, MA, or FL—on your schedule, in your space. Healthcare should fit your life, not disrupt it. We make expert care convenient without sacrificing quality or connection.

your path to wellness
Discovery Is Your Foundation.
Every Sistah Pause journey begins with the Discovery Session. Based on your labs, I recommend the program that fits your body specifically — you'll never have to figure that out on your own.
For Hormone Support — Hormone Optimization
For women whose labs show progesterone and estrogen decline driving sleep disruption, mood instability, cycle changes, and brain fog. We rebuild your hormonal foundation week by week, with clinical touchpoints and weekly education throughout your 12-week protocol.
For Metabolic Support — Metabolic Reset
For women experiencing hormone-related weight gain, insulin resistance patterns, and cortisol dysregulation. We address the root cause of the metabolic shift — not the symptoms of it. Most clients see measurable changes by week 6.
For PCOS Support — PCOS Transform
For women managing PCOS alongside perimenopausal hormonal change. A comprehensive root-cause protocol designed for the complexity of what you're navigating — androgen patterns, insulin resistance, cycle irregularity, and the new hormonal overlay perimenopause introduces.
For Ongoing Wellness — Thrive On, Sis Longevity Plan
For women who've completed a 12-week program and want ongoing care as their body continues to evolve. Quarterly lab reviews, protocol adjustments, community, and a provider who knows your full history.

Because we see you, Sis. Too many Black women have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, and gaslit in traditional healthcare. Sistah Pause™ was created to change that. We deliver culturally competent, evidence-based care that listens first and treats the whole woman—body, mind, and spirit. With over 15 years of clinical expertise, we provide personalized hormone, metabolic, and wellness solutions designed for your unique biology and life experience. This isn't one-size-fits-all medicine—it's care that finally centers you.

Your journey begins with a $275 Discovery Lab Clarity Session, which includes your personalized lab requisition and a 60-minute one-on-one results review where we map out your next steps. Clients may use their insurance for labs and medications based on their individual plan — Sistah Pause is not liable for any costs not covered by your plan.
From there, you can move into one of our programs based on what I recommend from your labs. Sistah Pause is a self-pay practice with transparent pricing. We accept FSA/HSA cards and all major credit cards. -
No worries, Sis—that's exactly what we're here for. Your journey starts with the Discovery Labs + Results Call, where we'll review your labs, listen to your goals, and guide you toward the Sistah Pause™ program that fits your needs—whether it's focused on hormones, metabolism, or both.
-
No! Sistah Pause is dedicated to individualized care, recommending treatments based on your unique symptoms, medical history, and personal approach to health. Not every woman needs or desires hormone replacement therapy (HRT), so we explore a full range of alternative solutions. We may suggest non-hormonal medications, supplements, and botanicals, as well as wellness therapies such as acupuncture, cognitive behavior therapy, and yoga, either in place of or alongside HRT. Additionally, we offer coaching on effective lifestyle changes, including improvements in sleep, mindfulness, nutrition, and exercise. For those who prefer alternatives to HRT, we also consider a variety of safe and effective non-hormonal prescription medications to help you find relief.
-
During your Discovery Call, we'll review your lab results, discuss your symptoms and goals, and create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs. You'll leave with clarity, direction, and next steps to begin your wellness journey.

Absolutely! We offer personalized supplement protocols, nutrition guidance, and wellness coaching for patients who prefer non-hormonal approaches. During your Discovery Session, we'll review your labs and symptoms to create a plan that fits your preferences—with or without hormone therapy.

No, Sis—you don't need insurance to work with Sistah Pause™. We're a cash-based practice with transparent pricing and convenient payment options.
